Electronic Application for Exemption from the German Federal Pension Insurance
Employed members of a German Medical Association are (with very few exceptions) required to be members of the German Federal Pension Insurance Scheme (compulsory insurance) – in addition to their membership of the Sächsischen Ärzteversorgung. To avoid having to pay contributions to both schemes, an exemption from the statutory pension insurance requirement is necessary.
It’s very simple: fill in the application online, receive the notification and submit it to your employer. Please ensure you observe the deadlines for submitting the application and note that the exemption only applies to the current employment relationship, meaning a new application is required if you change employers or your role.
Change & Relocation
If you relocate your business, your membership of the professional association and pension scheme will move with you. This is because compulsory membership generally applies at the place where you practise your profession. Furthermore, pension entitlements you have already accrued can, under certain conditions, be transferred to the new pension scheme. This means there are no (geographical) limits to your personal development. We’ll explain how to ensure a smooth transition, including the transfer of contributions.
Things change. Please let us know!
Please let us know if any details relating to your membership change! This could include a new address, a change of employer, or a break in your medical practice or practice.
