What is a transit doctor?
A transit doctor, or “D-doctor”, is a specialist in surgery with a focus on accident surgery or a specialist in orthopaedics and accident surgery with an additional title of “special accident surgery”, who is authorized by the umbrella organization of the industrial trade associations and the public sector accident insurance institutions to treat accidents at work, on the way to and from work, as well as school and kindergarten accidents.
When do I have to see the D-doctor?
If you or one of your relatives have suffered an accident at work, on the way to or from school or kindergarten, the responsible body for the costs in this regard is not your statutory health insurance, but your competent employers’ liability insurance association or statutory accident insurance fund.
Even if the initial treatment was provided in a hospital or by a doctor in private practice, they must consult a specialist (D-doctor) approved by the Berufsgenossenschaft.
This ensures that they or their relatives receive the best possible treatment to enable them to return to their daily lives as quickly as possible.
