Herz-Kreislauf-Praxis – Medicum Wiesbaden

What Herz-Kreislauf-Praxis – Medicum Wiesbaden does

Herz-Kreislauf-Praxis – Medicum Wiesbaden is a German specialist practice for cardiology and internal medicine, founded in 1999 and operating as a physician partnership across three networked locations: Wiesbaden (Medicum, the largest site, housing ~40 workstations and connected to St. Josefs-Hospital), Taunusstein and Oestrich-Winkel (Rheingau). The team comprises eight specialist physicians in internal medicine and cardiology, supplemented by ~30 additional staff. The practice delivers a comprehensive cardiological service portfolio covering non-invasive diagnostics (ECG, echocardiography including 4D and transesophageal, stress testing, vascular duplex sonography, pulmonary function testing), invasive interventional cardiology via its own outpatient cardiac catheter laboratory at St. Josefs-Hospital (cardiac catheterisation, PCI with stent implantation), and device therapy including outpatient pacemaker, ICD, CRT and event recorder implantation.

Since 2022 the practice has been the first registered Telemedizinzentrum in Hesse (registered with KV Hessen), enabling statutory-insurance-billed remote monitoring of heart-failure patients via implanted devices or external equipment supplied through service partner Hedy-Telemonitoring HCSG GmbH, with daily measurement transmission and therapy adjustment. The Wiesbaden and Taunusstein sites operate DGK-certified chest pain ambulances, and the practice holds a DIN EN ISO 9001 quality management certification. The business is independently owned and operated by five physician partners (Dr. Peter Mahr, Dr. Klaus Dönges, André Hochgesand, Prof. Dr. Michael Kreußer, Dr. Damaris Stanze), with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company.

Revenue is generated primarily through reimbursement from the German statutory health insurance system (GKV) across all covered diagnostic, therapeutic and telemonitoring services, with a secondary stream from private/self-pay patients billed under the GOÄ fee schedule. Patient acquisition is driven by a 25-year regional reputation, primary-care and specialist referrals (Zuweiser) within the Medicum and Rhein-Main network, and digital appointment booking via Doctolib; the practice also holds direct contracts with major statutory funds (AOK, DAK, TKK) for outpatient device implantation. Service distribution is direct in-person care at the three sites plus remote telemonitoring, with no external digital channels beyond Doctolib.

Core offering

The practice delivers specialist cardiology and internal medicine diagnostics and therapy across three networked locations, including non-invasive cardiology (echocardiography, ECG, vascular duplex, pulmonary function tests), invasive interventional cardiology (cardiac catheterisation with PCI and stent implantation, pacemaker/ICD/CRT and event recorder implantation) in an outpatient catheter laboratory at St. Josefs-Hospital, and registered heart failure telemonitoring for patients in and outside Hesse via implanted or external devices.

Direct peers

• Deutsches Herzzentrum München (DHM): Specialty cardiac hospital in Munich providing the full spectrum of cardiological and cardiac-surgical care including interventional procedures and device therapy. Comparable as a top-tier German cardiovascular provider anchoring a regional referral base, against which comparable private cardiology groups benchmark sub-specialty depth.
• MediClin Herzzentrum Coswig: Specialty cardiac hospital in Coswig (Saxony-Anhalt) within the MediClin network. Comparable as a regionally-anchored cardiac specialty provider delivering interventional cardiology, device therapy and cardiac surgery.
• CardioVasculäres Centrum Frankfurt: A large multi-physician cardiology group practice based in Frankfurt am Main, offering the full spectrum of non-invasive and invasive cardiology (catheterisation, device therapy, rhythmology). Directly comparable as a similarly scaled, competing ambulatory cardiology group in the same Rhein-Main region competing for the same GKV-reimbursed patient pool and primary-care referrals.

Others

• Doctolib: Online appointment-booking platform integrated into the practice's website for patient self-service scheduling. Comparable as the digital patient-acquisition channel used by the practice and by virtually every competing German cardiology practice — making it ecosystem infrastructure rather than a clinical peer.

Broad incumbents

• Herz- und Gefäßzentrum Universitätsklinikum Frankfurt: Cardiac and vascular centre at University Hospital Frankfurt (a listed referral partner). Provides the full range of academic tertiary cardiology, including advanced heart failure, transplant, and complex interventional procedures — overlapping with the practice's subspecialty depth but anchored in academic inpatient care.
• Universitätsmedizin Mainz – Herz-, Thorax- und Gefäßchirurgie: Cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery department at University Medicine Mainz, explicitly listed as a referral partner. Comparable as a tertiary academic centre receiving escalations from the practice for complex surgical cases — overlapping on high-acuity cardiac care in the broader catchment.
• Asklepios Paulinen Klinik Wiesbaden: General hospital in Wiesbaden within the Asklepios network, providing overlapping internal medicine and cardiology services. Comparable as a same-city, broad-line incumbent competing for both outpatient and inpatient cardiology volume.
• Helios Klinikum Wiesbaden: General hospital in Wiesbaden with a cardiology department, part of the Helios group (Fresenius). Operates in the same city and catchment, providing overlapping cardiology services — both inpatient and ambulatory (§ 116b) — making it both a competitor for referrals and a partner for escalations.
• Kerckhoff-Klinik Bad Nauheim: Specialty cardiac and thoracic hospital in Bad Nauheim (Hessen), explicitly listed by the practice as a referral partner. Comparable as a higher-acuity cardiac care provider in the same catchment, addressing overlapping patient needs in interventional cardiology and device therapy but delivering care in an inpatient hospital setting.

Regional players

• Cardio Centrum Oberursel: Regional cardiology group practice in the Taunus area near Frankfurt. Offers interventional and non-invasive cardiology in a similar ambulatory model within the Rhein-Main catchment, competing with the practice for primary-care referrals from the northern Taunus region.
