Inquiries of the pension insurance carriers must be answered (§100 SGB X). For the services of the physician as an "expert witness", the physician is entitled to remuneration according to the Judicial Remuneration and Compensation Act (JV EG). The JV EG also applies to inquiries of the pension insurance and their working groups (§ 21 AbS.3 SGB X). The mere ticking of an expert question on a form does not require a " short expert statement " according to the JVEG (decision of the BVG).
