RZH

What RZH does

RZH Rechenzentrum für Heilberufe GmbH is a German healthcare billing services company founded in 1979 and headquartered in Wesel, with two additional offices in Hannover and Oldenburg. The company provides end-to-end billing, accounts-receivable management and collection services for approximately 30 healthcare professional groups — primarily non-physician providers such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, podologists, ambulatory nursing services, medical supply houses (Hilfsmittelerbringer), patient transport providers (Krankenfahrten), and dental practices. RZH processes roughly 10.5 million Belegabrechnungen (billing records) per year and handles an annual Abrechnungsvolumen of about €3.5 billion across approximately 7,400 customers, employing ~650 staff.

The technology stack combines proprietary web-based and desktop software with managed services. RZH Home is a customer portal providing real-time billing status, document management and correction workflows. Hedi is a practice-management and billing tool for therapy providers, featuring prescription auto-read, automated compliance checking against the current Heilmittelrichtlinie, scheduling, patient management and DTA-based submission. RZH.Control performs pre-submission plausibility checks to reduce rejection rates; RZH.TransPortal validates transport certificates for Krankenfahrten providers; RZH.Cash delivers 24-hour payouts to ambulatory nursing customers; RZH.dental is a digital-factoring product (formerly teemfactor) that purchases open dental fee claims with 100% default protection and handles invoicing, installment plans and reimbursement; and RZH Abrechnungserstellung Digital is a managed service where RZH staff operate billing inside customers' own practice software. The platform integrates with third-party practice and dispatch software (Thieme DokuFORM, TARIS MPC, NEXUS, HyCare, D&S) through standard German healthcare interfaces (DTA, VDDS-RZ).

RZH generates revenue through three streams: transaction fees and commissions on processed billing records (the core Abrechnungsservices book), recurring subscriptions for proprietary software (Hedi, RZH Home, RZH.Control), and managed/factoring services such as RZH.dental. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed; prospective customers receive a personalized offer within 24 business hours via an online form. The go-to-market is direct and consultative, organized around dedicated customer-management teams per professional group, supported by professional-group-specific landing pages, organic social, email newsletters via Inxmail, web chat, video consultation and a customer-referral program. RZH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARZ Haan AG, which serves 16,000+ customers across 30 professional groups and provides capital backing, liquidity guarantees and shared infrastructure.

Healthcare Billing Services (Belegabrechnung): RZH processes and submits billing documents on behalf of healthcare providers (therapists, nursing services, medical supply companies, transport services, etc.) to statutory health insurers (GKV) and private insurers.

3. Digital Factoring (RZH.dental): RZH.dental purchases open fee claims from dental practices (factoring), providing immediate liquidity. RZH assumes the credit risk (100% default protection upon positive purchase confirmation) and handles invoice management, payment tracking, and patient payment plans.

Direct peers

• Helmsauer Gruppe: German group providing outsourced medical billing, factoring, and practice consulting services to physicians, dentists, and other healthcare providers. Directly comparable business model — outsourced billing and factoring for SMB healthcare providers in Germany.
• Mediserv GmbH: German medical billing and practice management services provider for physicians and psychotherapists. Comparable outsourced RCM service model targeting German SMB healthcare providers, similar in scale and customer segment to RZH.
• medatixx GmbH: German vendor of practice management and billing software for physicians and psychotherapists (medatixx, x.comfort, x.isynet, easymed). Direct competitor to RZH in delivering billing and practice workflows to German SMB healthcare providers, though primarily software-licensed rather than outsourced service.
• PVS Mülsen (PVS dental): Privatärztliche VerrechnungsStelle providing dental and medical billing, factoring, and patient invoicing services across Germany. Closest direct peer to RZH.dental given its factoring-plus-billing offering and German SMB healthcare customer base.

Broad incumbents

• DATEV eG: Large German cooperative providing tax, accounting, and payroll software with a healthcare practitioner segment (DATEV Heilwesen). Comparable as a broad incumbent serving German SMB healthcare providers with adjacent (rather than core) billing capability, leveraging its tax/payroll anchor.
• ZOLL Data Systems: US-headquartered healthcare RCM and billing software vendor with European operations. Comparable as a broad incumbent in healthcare RCM technology serving ambulatory and EMS providers, overlapping with RZH in patient transport and EMS billing workflows (RZH.TransPortal).
• CompuGroup Medical SE & Co. KGaA: Germany's largest health IT vendor offering practice management software and billing solutions (CGM ALBIS, CGM Z1, CGM MEDISTAR) to physician and dental practices. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same German healthcare billing market RZH serves, though it focuses on software rather than outsourced billing services.

Emerging players

• Meierhofer AG: German healthcare IT vendor (M-KIS) focused on clinical and administrative workflows for inpatient and ambulatory care. Comparable as a healthcare-IT peer operating in the German market with billing-adjacent capabilities.
• NEXUS AG: German health IT vendor providing hospital information systems (NEXUS / HIS) and clinical software. Comparable as a healthcare-IT peer overlapping with RZH in the German market, though focused on hospital and clinical workflows rather than ambulatory RCM.
