SAPV Oberberg GmbH

What SAPV Oberberg GmbH does

SAPV Oberberg GmbH is a private, founder-owned healthcare service provider headquartered in Gummersbach, Germany, that delivers specialized ambulatory palliative care (Spezialisierte Ambulante Palliativversorgung, SAPV) under § 37b SGB V across the Oberbergischer Kreis region of North Rhine-Westphalia. Founded around 2016 and led by Elisabeth Jülich (Medical Director) and Vincent Jülich (Commercial Director), the company operates two offices in Gummersbach and Wipperfürth and serves 14 municipalities directly plus four additional communities (Kürten, Overath, Ruppichteroth, Windeck) by arrangement. Its core service delivers 24/7 pain and symptom management, medical home visits, and psychosocial support to adults with incurable, advanced progressive illnesses (oncology, neurology, cardiopulmonary, hepatorenal), with care initiated via physician prescription (Formular 63), direct patient enquiry, or hospital discharge coordination.

The company maintains a multidisciplinary team of QPÄ-certified palliative physicians, qualified palliative nurses, a physiotherapist, a psycho-oncology consultant, and administrative staff coordinated by a Pflegedienstleitung. Underlying technology is conventional: the firm's primary surface is its content-rich WordPress website with Calendly booking, supplemented by off-the-shelf marketing stack (Google Ads, Search Console), anti-spam (Cloudflare Turnstile), and consent management (Real Cookie Banner). No proprietary software, AI/ML systems, telemedicine platform, or electronic patient record integration was disclosed.

SAPV care is fully reimbursed by statutory and private health insurers, so patients face no co-pay regardless of Pflegegrad; a secondary, much smaller revenue stream is generated by a DGP-certified 160-hour Palliative Care training program offered jointly with AGewiS at €2,310 per participant. An adjacent non-profit, the SAPV Palliativ-Verein Oberberg, funds supplemental services such as the Wünsche-Bus (barrier-free vehicle for fulfilling last wishes) via donations from local clubs and corporate sponsors. The firm participates in a broad regional ecosystem that includes hospital groups (Helios, Klinikum Oberberg, GFO), hospice services, pharmacies, home nursing providers, and the Ärztekammer Nordrhein (regulatory oversight).
