If you are no longer able to pursue the medical profession for health reasons, the Ärzteversorgung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern offers you financial support.

• you have made at least one contribution.

Additional time
In addition to the contribution quotients you have actually earned, the Ärzteversorgung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern grants you an additional calculation period under certain conditions for the period from the onset of occupational disability until you reach the age of 55.
