Management Board

The Management Board is the body managing the Health Insurance Fund. The Management Board consists of three to seven members, one of them being the Chairman of the Management Board. The term of office of the members of the Management Board is up to five years. The Supervisory Board designates the Chairman of the Management Board. In order to find candidates for the office of the Chairman of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board organises an open competition. On the proposal of the Chairman of the Management Board the Supervisory Board designates the other members of the Management Board.

In the management of the Health Insurance Fund the Management Board performs the functions imposed on it by this Act, the Statutes of the Health Insurance Fund and the decisions of the Supervisory Board. The Management Board sees for the performance of the functions and obligations as well as for the exercise of the rights of the Health Insurance Fund insofar as, by virtue of this Act or the Statutes, it is not the task of the Supervisory Board or Chairman of the Management Board. The Management Board reports to the Supervisory Board. On the basis of the national health care policy the Management Board prepares the development plan and the budget of the Health Insurance Fund and submits these to the Supervisory Board for approval. If the Supervisory Board does not decide otherwise, the Management Board prepares the materials and draft decisions to be discussed by the Supervisory Board.
