Family doctors (without paediatricians)
In terms of the Federal Medical Registry of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians:
Family doctors (without paediatricians) are basically general practitioners with a specialization as "Allgemeinärzte", general practitioners without a specialization ("praktische Ärzte") and internists working as family doctors. However, there are a small number of "Allgemeinärzte" and "praktische Ärzte" who work as specialists. For this reason, the number of family doctors (without paediatricians) is slightly lower than the sum of "Allgemeinärzte", "praktische Ärzte" and internists working as family doctors.
According to the definition in section 73, paragraph 1a of the Code of Social Law V, paediatricians are to be attributed to the family doctors. On the other hand, paediatricians form a separate group of doctors according to the definition of the Joint Federal Committee's demand planning guideline ("Bedarfsplanungs-Richtlinie des Gemeinsamen Bundesauschuss"). The presentation chosen here follows the definition of the Federal Joint Committee.
