Dr. Rainer Hess, the former impartial chairman of the G-BA and current board member of the German Organ Transplantation Foundation (DSO), will lead the arbitration proceedings surrounding the 2013 cash advance.

Hess would like to use the ongoing proceedings to create clarity for the years 2009/2010, as the cash deduction from both years was complained about and legal clarification is still pending. With the appointment of Hess – who is Dr. Rainer Daubenbüchel follows, whose term of office ended on December 31, 2012, although ABDA and Kassen only started in June 2013 - the arbitration board is complete again: His impartial deputies, who had already accompanied the last arbitration proceedings, are Prof. Dr. Ginger Ebsen (University of Frankfurt) and Prof. Dr. Christian Starck (Georg August University of Göttingen).
