What Psyprax GmbH does

Psyprax GmbH is a Munich-based, privately held German software vendor founded in 1996 that builds practice management software (PVS) exclusively for psychotherapeutic practices. The company's flagship product, psyprax PVS, is a Windows desktop application that handles statutory health insurance (KV) billing, patient administration, scheduling, therapy session documentation and quarterly billing submission, with deep embedding of psychotherapy-specific KV rules that general medical PMS vendors typically lack. The company sells its software through direct-to-consumer online ordering at psyprax.de, supplemented by phone-based sales and remote installation support; there is no channel/reseller network and no app or public API distribution.

The core technology stack extends beyond the PVS into regulated German healthcare infrastructure: the TI-Gateway is a managed Telematikinfrastruktur connectivity service (using a RISE-based connector in psyprax's data center) that gives practices gematik-compliant access to KIM secure messaging, electronic patient record (ePA), electronic sick notes (eAU), electronic prescriptions (eRezept) and electronic physician letters (eArztbrief), without requiring in-house IT expertise. The product also ships a managed IT-Sicherheitspaket — a KBV-compliant UTM firewall (Securepoint Black Dwarf G5), antivirus and awareness training — and exposes a broad set of free or low-cost interfaces to ifap, data4doc, webPRAX, mediDOK, IQVIA, TestOS, MEDI-Verbund and D-Doc, turning the PVS into a workflow fabric rather than a standalone application.

Commercially, Psyprax operates a subscription model anchored on the Starterpaket (PVS + TI-Gateway + KIM address + card terminal at €241/month incl. VAT), with optional standalone TI-Gateway (from €179/month), IT security (€199 setup + €69/month), and small add-on modules (TestOS €19.75/month, MEDI-Verbund €75/month, webPRAX €10.32-12.90/month). The company reports ~12,000 practices and 95 employees, is led by managing directors Dorothea Bergmann and Michael Lautenschlager, has no disclosed external investors, subsidiaries or M&A history, and operates exclusively in the German market. Recent activity is dominated by mandatory regulatory releases (ePA für alle, ECC migration, KIM 1.5.2.36) rather than organic expansion, signaling a mature, regulation-pulled business rather than a venture-scale growth profile.

Core offering

Psyprax GmbH develops and sells psyprax PVS, a Windows-based practice management system purpose-built for psychotherapeutic practices in Germany. The product handles KV (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung) billing, patient management, scheduling, and documentation, and is paired with the TI-Gateway managed service that connects practices to the German Telematikinfrastruktur (TI) for electronic health card processing, KIM messaging, ePA, eAU, and eRezept. The company bundles these into the psyprax Starterpaket (241€/month) alongside a card terminal and KIM address.

Product overview

Psyprax GmbH offers a practice management ecosystem centered on psyprax PVS — a Windows desktop practice management software purpose-built for psychotherapist practices in Germany. The core offering includes the psyprax Starterpaket (bundling psyprax PVS, TI-Gateway, KIM, and card terminal) for practices with panel licenses. The TI-Gateway provides managed connectivity to Germany's Telematik Infrastructure, enabling electronic billing, ePA, KIM messaging, and ePrescription. Beyond the core PVS, psyprax offers multiple integration add-ons: ifap for certified prescription printing, data4doc for ePrescription management, webPRAX for video consultations, mediDOK for document archiving, IQVIA for research panel participation, TestOS for psychological testing, D-Doc/eDMP for disease management documentation, and MEDI-Verbund for selective contract billing in Baden-Württemberg. An IT security package (managed firewall, antivirus, awareness training) is also available. The product operates as on-premises desktop software with integrated TI connectivity, not as a cloud/SaaS platform.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• CompuGroup Medical SE: Europe's largest listed healthcare IT vendor, offering a portfolio of practice management systems (MEDISTAR, TurboMed, Albis, Data Vital) and TI connectivity used by tens of thousands of German practices. Overlaps with Psyprax in PVS and TI-Gateway functions but serves all medical specialties, lacking Psyprax's psychotherapy-specific depth.
• medatixx GmbH & Co. KG: One of Germany's largest practice software providers, offering PVS solutions (medatixx, MediStar, mediDAT) plus TI-Konnektor and KV billing across general medicine, specialist, and psychotherapy practices. Comparable subscription model, KBV certification, and TI integration depth.
• DAMPSOFT GmbH: German vendor of practice management software (DS-Win, Paradigma) primarily for dental but also medical practices, with KV billing, TI integration, and a self-service subscription model analogous to Psyprax. Strong comparable in delivery model and SMB customer base.

Emerging players

• zollsoft GmbH (Tomedo): Developer of Tomedo, a cloud-native, macOS/Windows/iOS practice management system used by German practices. Directly comparable in PVS + TI + KBV-certified workflow scope, but differentiated by cloud architecture versus Psyprax's on-premises Windows desktop model.

Direct peers

• PraxisConcept GmbH: Provider of PraxisConcept, a PVS solution for medical and psychotherapeutic practices in Germany with KBV-certified KV billing and TI connectivity. Competes head-on with Psyprax in the psychotherapy and small-practice segment.
• HASOMED GmbH: Developer of medisoft, a Windows-based practice management system tailored specifically for psychiatrists, neurologists, and psychotherapists in Germany. The closest direct peer to Psyprax — same vertical focus, same KV/TI integration requirements, and similar PVS + telematics positioning.
• Medisoft GmbH (psychiatric PVS): Specialty practice management software for psychiatric and psychotherapeutic practices in Germany, with KV billing and TI integration. Closely mirrors Psyprax's vertical specialization and SMB/individual practitioner customer profile.
• ARZT Software AG / Arztsoft: German practice management software vendor offering PVS, KV billing, and TI connectivity solutions to medical and therapeutic practices. Comparable subscription-based product, regulatory certification footprint, and SMB target buyer.
