SAPV Team

What SAPV Team does

SAPV Team Nürnberg gGmbH is a German non-profit (gemeinnützige GmbH) specialized outpatient palliative care (Spezialisierte Ambulante Palliativversorgung, SAPV) provider, headquartered at Hochstraße 16 in Nürnberg. The organization delivers end-of-life care to patients with severe, incurable, progressive diseases in their own homes and in nursing homes across the city areas of Nürnberg and Schwabach. A multidisciplinary team of 31 staff — comprising palliative medicine physicians, palliative care nurses, and a social worker (Sozialpädagogin) — provides 365-day, 24-hour on-call service covering symptom management (notably pain therapy), care coordination across medical, nursing and social providers, psychosocial support for patients and relatives, prescription of medical aids, and end-of-life companionship.

The business operates under the legal entitlement defined in § 37b of the German Social Security Code V (SGB V), which mandates that statutory health insurance funds (gesetzliche Krankenkassen) fully reimburse SAPV services with no patient co-payment; private insurers typically cover equivalent amounts. A secondary revenue stream consists of donations supporting complementary services not covered by insurance. The organization is co-sponsored as a shareholder (Gesellschafter) by Hospiz-Team Nürnberg e.V. and Klinikum Nürnberg, with Markus Rohweder serving as Managing Director (Geschäftsführer) and Dr. med. Claudia Scheibner as Medical Director (Ärztliche Leitung). Initial establishment was financially supported by the Paula Kubitscheck-Vogel-Stiftung and the Bavarian State Ministry for Health, Care and Prevention (Bayerische Staatsministerium für Gesundheit, Pflege und Prävention). Distribution is entirely direct: patients are enrolled only via medical referral (Formular Muster 63) from general practitioners, specialists, or hospital physicians — no digital channels, retail, or consumer marketing exists. The technology footprint is minimal: a static informational website, no mobile app, no API or SDK, and no disclosed integrations or AI components.

Broad incumbents

• Caritas Deutschland: National Catholic welfare association offering hospice and palliative care services through regional Caritas associations across Germany. Directly comparable service offering and non-profit operating model, with similar dependence on statutory health insurance reimbursement and donor support.
• Helios Kliniken GmbH: One of Germany's largest private hospital operators, with palliative medicine departments across its network. Comparable as a healthcare provider with palliative care capability, though primarily hospital-based rather than a dedicated home-care SAPV team, and operating on a for-profit basis.
• Asklepios Kliniken GmbH & Co. KGaA: Major German hospital group operating facilities with palliative care units and discharge pathways into outpatient palliative services. Comparable as a large-scale healthcare provider engaged in palliative care delivery, but primarily hospital-centric rather than dedicated to home-based SAPV provision.
• Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. Major German non-profit operating hospice and outpatient palliative services alongside broader emergency and care offerings. Comparable in its provision of specialized palliative home care through regional Johanniter teams, but with significantly broader service portfolio and geographic reach.
• Diakonie Deutschland: Federal umbrella of Protestant-affiliated welfare organizations providing hospice and palliative care services across Germany, including specialized outpatient palliative teams. Comparable in service mix and non-profit/charitable status, but operates as a federated network of regional providers rather than a single team.
• AGAPLESION gAG: German non-profit hospital and healthcare operator with inpatient palliative care units and increasingly outpatient palliative services. Comparable in non-profit status and clinical palliative focus, but operates primarily as a hospital chain rather than a dedicated home-care SAPV team.
• Malteser Hilfsdienst e.V. Large German Catholic non-profit operating hospice and outpatient palliative care services nationwide through regional Malteser teams. Directly comparable in service portfolio (home-based palliative and hospice support) and non-profit funding model, though operating at vastly greater scale and across many geographies.

Direct peers

• SAPV-Team München: Specialized outpatient palliative care team serving the Munich metropolitan area under the same §37b SGB V framework. Closest comparable peer — identical service definition (SAPV), same multidisciplinary team structure, statutory insurance reimbursement, and 24/7 on-call model, but operating in a different metropolitan catchment.
• Palliativnetz Berlin gGmbH: Berlin-based network providing specialized outpatient palliative care in patients' homes under SAPV regulations. Directly comparable as a regional SAPV provider with similar non-profit structure, multidisciplinary team, and reliance on statutory reimbursement, but operating in the Berlin/Brandenburg catchment.

Regional players

• Home Instead Seniorenbetreuung Deutschland: German franchise of the international Home Instead home care network, providing non-medical in-home care and companionship for elderly clients across Germany. Comparable as a regional home-based care provider serving elderly and chronically ill populations, though focused on non-medical personal care rather than clinical palliative services.
