What Doktor.De does

Doktor.De is the German operating arm of the Swedish Doktor.Se Group (founded 2016 in Stockholm) and operates a hybrid digital-physical primary care platform built around a network of approximately 14 physical Hausarztpraxen (general practitioner practices) distributed across four German states: Berlin, Niedersachsen, Bayern and Nordrhein-Westfalen. The platform pairs these physical practices with a Videosprechstunde (telemedicine video consultation) module that runs through an embedded Doctolib interface for appointment booking, prescription (Rezept), sick note (Krankschreibung) and referral (Überweisung) workflows. Patient-side service is extended by an editorial Medizinkompass covering Krankheiten & Symptome and Medikamente & Wirkstoffe, and a Gesundheitsmagazin, both serving as SEO-driven acquisition and education channels. The technology stack is deliberately third-party-led — WordPress on IONOS hosting, Pipedrive for lead capture, Amplitude and Google Analytics for web analytics, Usercentrics for consent management, Google Tag Manager, Meta and LinkedIn for social, Freshdesk for support, and Teamtailor for recruitment — with no proprietary developer API exposed.

The business model is a managed services / professional services construct anchored on statutory health insurance (GKV) billing via the regional Kassenärztliche Vereinigungen under EBM tariffs, supplemented by private insurance and self-pay billing under GOÄ. Two MVZ subsidiaries (Doktorde MVZ Berlin GmbH and Doktorde MVZ havenmed GmbH) operate the clinical sites; PKB Praxis-Klinik-Bergedorf is the sole shareholder of the Berlin MVZ. A second growth vector is the Praxisabgabe programme, under which Doktor.De acquires general practitioner practices from retiring physicians, often retaining the seller as a salaried or partner doctor to preserve patient continuity. Customer segments are (1) statutory insured patients, (2) private insured and self-pay patients, (3) retiring GPs selling their practices, and (4) specialists seeking salaried employment. The previous Doktor.De telemedical app (for prescription, sick note and referral requests) was discontinued in 2025, and a new WordPress website went live in November 2025, signalling a strategic pivot away from standalone consumer telemedicine toward integrated in-person-plus-video care delivered through the MVZ network.

Revenue model

1. Statutory health insurance billing (GKV): Statutory health insurers (gesetzliche Krankenkassen) cover 100% of treatment costs for services billed under EBM (Einheitlicher Bewertungsmaßstab). Billed through Kassenärztliche Vereinigung (regional Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians).
2. Private insurance billing (GOÄ): Privately insured and self-pay patients are billed by cooperating physicians according to GOÄ (Gebührenordnung für Ärzte - German Medical Fee Schedule). Patients can submit claims to their private insurance.
3. Practice acquisition (Praxisabgabe): Doktor.De purchases existing general practitioner practices from retiring doctors, taking over administrative operations, staff, and integrating them into the network of MVZs (Medizinische Versorgungszentren). Future revenue is generated from operating the acquired practice under Doktorde MVZ subsidiaries.
4. Medical treatment services: In-person consultations and treatments at Hausarztpraxen: home visits, vaccinations, disease management programs, nutritional counseling, geriatrics, health checks, smoking cessation, manual medicine/chiropractic, acupuncture, skin cancer screening, sonographic examinations. Billing via medical fee schedules.

Core offering

Doktor.De operates a hybrid digital-physical primary care platform built around a network of physical Hausarztpraxen (GP practices) in Berlin, Niedersachsen, Bayern and Nordrhein-Westfalen. It complements in-person care with a secure Videosprechstunde (video consultation) and acquires retiring GPs' practices under a Praxisabgabe programme, integrating them into MVZ (medical care center) subsidiaries. Patients can book appointments, request prescriptions, sick notes and referrals online via Doctolib, and access medically reviewed health content through the Medikompass portal.

Product overview

Doktor.De's offering is a hybrid digital–physical primary-care platform built around a growing network of in-person Hausarztpraxen (GP practices) in Berlin, Niedersachsen, Bayern and Nordrhein-Westfalen, complemented by a Videosprechstunde module that lets the same physicians treat patients remotely. The core GP practice network (Doktor.De Hausarztpraxen) is supported by several modules: a Praxisabgabe (practice-acquisition) programme that brings new practices into the network, an Anstellung-Programm that recruits Fachärzt:innen for Allgemeinmedizin or Innere Medizin, and a Karriere/Bewerbungs-Portal (powered by Teamtailor) for hiring physicians, MFAs and trainees. Patient-facing services are extended through an editorial Medizinkompass (Krankheiten & Symptome and Medikamente & Wirkstoffe directories) and the Gesundheitsmagazin, while the discontinued Doktor.De-App previously provided prescription, sick-note and referral requests. Day-to-day appointment booking, video consultations and patient messaging are delegated to Doctolib as the patient interface, with Pipedrive capturing web inquiries and Amplitude/Usercentrics/Google Tag Manager handling analytics and consent.

Direct peers

• TeleClinic: German telemedicine provider offering online consultations, prescriptions and sick notes; competes with Doktor.De for the digital-first patient segment that Doktor.De still tries to capture via Videosprechstunde.
• Avi Medical: Munich-based digital primary care operator combining tech-enabled GP practices with a hybrid in-person / telemedicine offering in Germany; competes head-to-head with Doktor.De for patients, physicians and Praxisabgabe targets.
• Patient21: Berlin-headquartered digital health platform that runs its own network of GP and dental practices with integrated software; directly competes with Doktor.De in the German digital-physical primary care segment.
• Medlanes: Earlier German digital-health operator that offered online doctor consultations and house-call services; relevant comparable as a hybrid in-person / telemedicine primary care competitor in Germany.

Broad incumbents

• Kry / Livi: Sweden-headquartered pan-European digital GP operator that is part of the same Doktor.Se ecosystem; uses a comparable digital-physical care playbook and provides a relevant cross-check on Doktor.De's strategic direction under the parent group.
• Asklepios Kliniken: One of Germany's largest private hospital groups with growing outpatient and MVZ activities; a scaled incumbent that could both compete for Praxisabgabe acquisitions and serve as a benchmark for institutional outpatient operators.
• Helios (Fresenius): Largest private hospital operator in Germany (part of Fresenius) with MVZ and outpatient activities; relevant incumbent peer for assessing how large healthcare groups approach primary care consolidation.
• Doctolib: Dominant German/European healthcare booking and video consultation platform that is also Doktor.De's flagship integration partner; competes for patient mindshare while powering much of Doktor.De's funnel.

Emerging players

• Zava: Europe-wide online doctor and prescription service operating across Germany; comparable to Doktor.De's discontinued telemedicine offering and a benchmark for the digital-only segment.
• Curalie: German digital health platform combining telemedicine, online coaching and remote patient monitoring; comparable to Doktor.De in pairing digital tools with regional healthcare delivery.
