MVZ PAN Institut

What MVZ PAN Institut does

MVZ PAN Institut is a Cologne-based fertility clinic and legally registered as MVZ PAN INSTITUT GmbH, founded in 1989 and operated within the PAN Klinik am Neumarkt — a multidisciplinary medical center housing 65 specialist physicians across 25 departments. The clinic delivers comprehensive reproductive medicine services including IVF, ICSI, intrauterine insemination, ovarian stimulation, andrology, endocrinology, endometriosis treatment, miscarriage diagnostics, fertility preservation (social and medical freezing), cryopreservation, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PID), human genetics, and psychological support. Its technical core is a DIN EN ISO 14644 / EG-GMP-certified cleanroom laboratory equipped with an EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator running the iDAScore neural network for AI-assisted embryo assessment.

In 2024 the clinic conducted 2,644+ assisted reproduction treatment cycles — 1,329 IVF/ICSI follicular punctures, 284 social/medical egg-freezing punctures, and 1,031 thaw cycles — achieving a 40% average pregnancy rate for IVF/ICSI across all age groups, 54.3% for ideal ICSI patients, and an 86% single embryo transfer rate. Approximately half of all treatments use cryopreserved gametes. Patients access the clinic via Doctolib and Jameda online booking, phone, email, free information webinars, and a doctor-moderated online forum.

The clinic operates on a private-pay and partially insured revenue model — cryopreservation and thaw cycles are not covered by German statutory health insurance and are paid out-of-pocket, while some IVF/ICSI components may receive partial statutory coverage. The business is privately held under managing directors Maryann Palm and Dr. med. Stefan Palm, with no disclosed external investors, and markets itself to a diversified patient base including heterosexual couples with infertility, same-sex female couples, single women seeking fertility preservation, endometriosis patients, and couples with genetic risk factors. Brand strength is supported by FOCUS Top Mediziner recognition, a 4.3/5 Google rating, 5-star Jameda rating, and 35 years of continuous specialization.

Revenue model

1. Assisted Reproduction Treatment Services: The primary revenue stream comprises fertility treatment services including IVF (In-Vitro Fertilisation), ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and ovarian stimulation therapy. Treatment cycles, follicular punctures, and embryo transfers generate procedure-based revenue.
2. Cryopreservation and Fertility Preservation: Revenue from egg freezing (social and medical), sperm cryopreservation, embryo freezing, and thaw/transfer cycles. Cryopreservation measures, including thaw cycles, are not covered by statutory health insurance in Germany and are paid privately by patients.
3. Diagnostic and Consultation Services: Revenue from diagnostic services including hormone and cycle diagnostics, semen analysis (spermiogram), andrology assessments, genetic counseling, and initial consultation fees for fertility assessments and treatment planning.
4. Specialist Medical Services: The clinic offers multiple specialist departments under one roof — endocrinology, andrology, endometriosis practice, miscarriage diagnostics, psychosomatics, human genetics, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis — generating revenue from associated specialist consultations and procedures.
