Urologie

What Urologie does

Uro-medic is a private urological specialist practice (Facharztpraxis für Urologie) operating as a three-physician partnership in Hamburg-Eppendorf and Hoheluft, Germany. Founded in 1998 by Dr. med. Kai Schölermann and operating under the uro-medic brand since 2013 (in its current three-partner form since 2019), the practice delivers comprehensive urological care to men, women, and children across the Hamburg metropolitan region. Service lines span preventive examinations and early cancer detection (Vorsorge), diagnostics (transrectal and Doppler sonography, endoscopic video systems, uroflowmetry, digital spermiogram), specialized therapies (endourology, drug-based tumor therapy, ambulatory bladder Botox, ESWL), and an explicit vasectomy specialty performed under local anesthesia in a practice-owned operating room. Three Fachärzte für Urologie, all holding the European Board of Urology (FEBU) credential plus Zusatzqualifikation in medikamentöse Tumortherapie and Andrologie, staff the practice supported by four medical assistants (MFA).

The underlying technology is conventional modern urological equipment rather than a software platform. The competitive technical differentiator is the in-house procedure room, which enables ambulatory surgical care (endourology, ESWL, bladder Botox, lesion excision, vasectomy) that many standard urology practices would refer to a hospital. Patient-facing digital infrastructure is limited to a website with an embedded online booking widget and downloadable self-assessment PDFs (IPSS, AMS, IIEF, Miktionstagebuch) used for pre-visit preparation; no mobile app, patient portal, telehealth, or AI tooling is present.

The business model is a fee-for-service medical practice reimbursed through the German statutory health insurance system (GKV via KVHH), private health insurance (PKV), and out-of-pocket IGeL/Selbstzahlerleistungen. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: patients self-refer and book via the website widget, phone, or through organic channels (Google Maps, Jameda physician-rating platform, word-of-mouth). The practice accepts no external capital, has no parent company, and operates from a single physical site at Hoheluftchaussee 18, 20253 Hamburg, with no published revenue figures. The headcount reported in firmographic data (258) is inconsistent with the detailed staff disclosures (3 physicians and 4 named MFAs); the detailed primary-source headcount of 7 is treated as authoritative.

Revenue model

1. Statutory Health Insurance (GKV) Billing: The practice operates within the German statutory health insurance system (GKV/Kassenärztliche Versorgung). It is a contracted provider (Kassenarzt) with the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg (KVHH), billing statutory health insurers for covered services including consultations, diagnostics, and standard treatments. This represents the primary revenue stream for the majority of patient encounters.
2. Private Health Insurance (PKV) Billing: The practice also serves privately insured patients (PKV) and bills private health insurers directly for covered services, typically at higher reimbursement rates than GKV.
3. Individuelle Gesundheitsleistungen (IGeL) – Self-Pay Services: Certain services not covered by statutory insurance are offered as individual health services (IGeL), paid out-of-pocket by patients. These include comprehensive preventive examinations (vorsorge) beyond the basic GKV package, specific PSA-based cancer screening, and certain diagnostic procedures. The vasectomy procedure is also a self-pay service (Selbstzahlerleistung).

Broad incumbents

• Sana Kliniken: German private hospital group with urology offerings across multiple sites. Comparable as a broad incumbent operating urology departments and ambulatory services that overlap with uro-medic's outpatient service lines.
• Asklepios Kliniken: Germany's largest private hospital operator with multiple Hamburg locations (Barmbek, St. Georg, Altona, Harburg) running large urology departments. Uro-medic physicians previously worked at Asklepios and the practice refers complex cases there, making it a key incumbent competitor and referral partner.
• Helios Kliniken: Major German hospital group (Fresenius subsidiary) operating nationwide with significant urology service lines. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering inpatient and outpatient urology at scale, competing for the same Hamburg patient catchment at the more complex end of the care spectrum.
• Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE): Hamburg's university hospital with a full urology department. Several uro-medic physicians trained or worked at UKE, and the practice refers complex cases there. It is a broad incumbent that competes for advanced urology patients in the same metropolitan catchment.
• Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin: Germany's largest university hospital with a high-volume urology department. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering full-scope urology including oncology, endourology, and academic specialty care that frames the competitive context for independent German urology practices.

Others

• Doctolib: Leading European online appointment booking and practice management platform widely adopted by German medical practices. Comparable as a digital infrastructure peer that increasingly sets the standard for online booking, patient communication, and self-service scheduling that uro-medic has implemented in-house.
• samedi GmbH: Berlin-based provider of online appointment scheduling and patient management software used by German medical practices. Comparable as an enabling technology peer addressing the same online-booking and patient-engagement workflow that uro-medic has built on its website.

Regional players

• Martini-Klinik am UKE: World-leading prostate cancer specialty clinic co-located with University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf. Uro-medic refers prostate cancer cases to Martini-Klinik and Dr. Coxilha previously worked there, making it a direct specialty comparable in the prostate cancer segment.
