Invalidity pension

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

you are no longer able to practice your medical profession due to a physical infirmity or weakness of your physical or mental powers,
you have ceased all your medical activity,
the incapacity to work lasts longer than 90 days and
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.

Start of pension
The pension payment begins with the termination of medical activity if the application is submitted within six months thereafter; otherwise with the month of application.
