Registration in the doctor's register is a basic requirement for your approval or employment as a statutory health insurance doctor or psychotherapist. The statutory health insurance associations maintain a doctor's register for each registration district. The statutory health insurance association in whose area of responsibility your place of residence is located is responsible for your registration in the doctor's register.
