Medical assessment service in relation to urology

The main duty of a health assessment doctor at the District Social Security Administration (OSSZ) is to assess the health status of the client in the sector of sickness and pension insurance, i. e., in the insurance scheme. A health assessment doctor at the OSSZ can also assess the health status of the client for the purpose of providing benefits in the non-insurance scheme, with the contracting authority being the employment office and the client applying therein. This includes care allowance, where the degree of dependency (degrees I to IV) is assessed, as well as disability card and special aid allowance.
