POLIKUM Gruppe

What POLIKUM Gruppe does

POLIKUM Gruppe operates Policum Berlin, a network of 9 outpatient medical care centers (Medizinische Versorgungszentren) consolidated at 3 Berlin locations — Fennpfuhl, Friedrichshain, and Friedenau. The group operates as a multi-specialty ambulatory provider organized under the GmbH structure (legal entity: Policum Berlin MVZ GmbH) and functions as a subsidiary of the Sanecum Gruppe, one of the larger ambulatory healthcare operators in German physician networks. The organization delivers interdisciplinary outpatient care across 16 medical specialties, including general medicine, ophthalmology, diabetology, gastroenterology, ENT, cardiology, pneumology, neurology, orthopedics, osteology, osteopathy, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychotherapy, pain therapy, and dentistry.

The core product is the physical MVZ network combined with two service-layer extensions: a telemedicine platform for remote consultations and a TSS Akuttermin acute appointment service for urgent specialist access. A catalog of preventive and IGeL (self-pay) services — including OCT eye examinations, colonoscopy with CO2, allergy testing, acupuncture, alpha-lipoic acid infusions, and dental prophylaxis — supplements the GKV/PKV insurance-based services. Distribution is overwhelmingly regional, with no disclosed operations outside Berlin, and the technology stack is a conventional appointment-booking and telemedicine stack with no proprietary AI components documented.

The revenue model is outpatient medical services billed primarily through statutory health insurance (GKV) and private health insurance (PKV), with a smaller cash-pay layer from IGeL and aesthetic services. The GTM motion is sales-led in a B2C sense, capturing patients via physician referrals within the network, self-referrals, online booking, and same-day acute appointments. A multi-channel digital presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Xing) supports patient acquisition. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; reimbursement rates are determined externally by the German statutory payer framework. No revenue figures, funding history, or M&A activity are disclosed in the input data, and the leadership team is represented by Managing Director Marco Bohn with no further public directors listed.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Helios (Fresenius): Helios, part of Fresenius, operates a large network of German hospitals and increasingly outpatient clinics. It is a broad incumbent with significant scale and competes with POLIKUM in the ambulatory setting.
• Asklepios Kliniken: One of Germany's largest private hospital operators, Asklepios has expanded into outpatient and MVZ services, making it a broad incumbent in German healthcare with overlapping ambulatory offerings.
• SYNLAB: SYNLAB is Europe's largest medical diagnostics provider operating lab and outpatient sampling sites. While focused on diagnostics, it shares the multi-site ambulatory healthcare delivery model in Germany.
• Sana Kliniken: Sana Kliniken is a private German hospital and healthcare group with outpatient service offerings. As a major German healthcare provider, it competes for patients and specialist physicians in overlapping markets.

Emerging players

• Doctolib: Doctolib is a leading European telemedicine and appointment booking platform with strong German presence. While not a clinic operator, it competes for patient relationships and digital-first care delivery in POLIKUM's market.
• Kry (Livi): Kry/Livi is a European digital primary care provider offering remote consultations. It represents the emerging digital-first model that pressures traditional multi-specialty clinic operators like POLIKUM.
• Zava: Zava is an online doctor and telemedicine provider serving patients across Europe including Germany. It competes for low-acuity primary care consultations that POLIKUM also serves.

Direct peers

• Medicover: Medicover operates a network of multi-specialty ambulatory clinics and diagnostic centers across Europe, directly comparable to POLIKUM's model of integrated outpatient care across multiple specialties under one brand.

Others

• AMEDES Group: AMEDES is a German ambulatory medical diagnostics and laboratory network operating across multiple specialties. It is comparable to POLIKUM as a multi-site ambulatory healthcare operator in Germany, though focused on diagnostics.

Regional players

• Medgate: Medgate is a leading telemedicine provider based in Switzerland, offering comparable outpatient digital health services. While geographically focused on Switzerland, it competes in the same DACH outpatient care space.
