Radiological Alliance

What Radiological Alliance does

Radiologische Allianz is a physician-managed, multi-location medical group practice (überörtliche Gemeinschaftspraxis) operating 26 sites across Hamburg and surrounding areas. Founded in 2009, the practice employs 80+ specialist physicians and 450+ total staff, delivering diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy services. It is positioned as the largest nuclear medicine practice network in Northern Germany and operates Hamburg's only Gamma Knife radiosurgery center (ICERA). The practice performs 500,000+ scans and therapies annually, including 30,000+ mammography exams that place it among Germany's largest breast diagnostics programs and a cardiac diagnostics program that has recently been opened to statutory insurance reimbursement.

The technology base is hardware-intensive: 55+ large medical devices including Siemens NAEOTOM Alpha photon-counting CT, 3T MRI, PET/CT, digital X-ray, mammography, neuroradiology suites, Varian ETHOS linear accelerators for online adaptive radiotherapy, and Gamma Knife. The practice runs a medavis RIS backbone, a PACSonWEB patient portal, and Doctolib-driven appointment booking, and is a founding partner of the Starvision digital radiology network for cross-practice image exchange. Service lines include diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, PET/CT, X-ray, mammography, neuroradiology), therapeutic radiology (IMRT, VMAT, adaptive therapy, Gamma Knife radiosurgery), and specialized breast and cardiac diagnostics programs.

Revenue is generated predominantly through fee-for-service reimbursement under German statutory health insurance (GKV/EBM) and private health insurance (PKV/GOÄ) fee schedules, supplemented by selective contracts with health insurance funds (notably for cardiac diagnostics). The practice serves both outpatients directly, through self-referral and physician referral networks, and inpatients through embedded radiology departments in 15+ partner hospitals including Asklepios, Albertinen, AGAPLESION, and Diakonieklinikum. Go-to-market relies on physician referral relationships, hospital partnerships, and digital self-service channels (Doctolib, WhatsApp, web) rather than consumer advertising. The practice is independent and physician-owned, with no external PE/VC backing.
