KV RLP

What KV RLP does

KV RLP (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Rheinland-Pfalz) is a statutory public-law corporation (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) established in 1955 and headquartered in Mainz, Germany. Operating under §77 of the German Social Code Book V (SGB V), it holds a legally mandated regional monopoly on organizing ambulatory care for the statutory health insurance system in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz. The organization administers licensing, billing, quality assurance, practice support, and continuing education for approximately 8,000 contract physicians and psychotherapists, and serves as the regional intermediary between providers and statutory health insurers (Krankenkassen).

KV RLP's core technology platform is WebA, a proprietary web-based billing software that allows contract physicians and psychotherapists to submit ambulatory billing submissions remotely, including support for Hybrid-DRG and ASV (Ambulante Spezialfachärztliche Versorgung) workflows. The organization also operates the Praxisfinder (provider search) and Patientenservice 116117 (appointment scheduling and medical guidance hotline), the KV-Börse marketplace for practice succession and job-share transactions, and the Mobile Arztpraxis, a mobile clinic serving underserved municipalities. Statistical and quality reporting services (Honorarstatistik, Qualitätsbericht) and member media (KV-TV, Talk mit Doc Bartels podcast) round out the digital service portfolio. All web properties are maintained under BITV RP accessibility compliance implementing EU Directive 2016/2102.

KV RLP does not operate a commercial revenue model. As a membership-based statutory body, it is funded through mandatory contributions from its physician/psychotherapist members and administered under the supervision of state authorities. Services are delivered directly to members and patients via its website, service center, and Mainz headquarters; there is no commercial pricing or external revenue generation. The organization coordinates with federal partners (Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung / KBV), state professional chambers, and Krankenkassen through joint administrative bodies including the Zulassungsausschuss and Landesausschuss.

Direct peers
