Abstract
Interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy is the gold standard in the treatment of
chronic pain. Due to an overall increase in case numbers, the number of MDK examinations
leading to the assessment of primary incorrect occupancy is also increasing. This
results in a multitude of social court disputes in which medical assessments are required.
With knowledge of the legal norms and relevant guidelines or other recommendations,
the expert can take this topic step by step. The starting point here is the evaluation
of the patient file, followed by the examination of the medical indication, the implementation
of the therapy and, finally, the answers to the questions of proof. A test scheme
based on the Schröter concept can further simplify this process.
