What nexmed does

nexmed GmbH is a German private radiology services operator founded in Dortmund that runs a network of seven diagnostic centers across North Rhine-Westphalia (Dortmund, Köln, Düsseldorf, Bochum, Bonn, Münster) and Hessen (Frankfurt am Main). The company operates as a private radiology practice (Privatpraxis) without statutory health insurance (GKV) billing rights, serving privately insured patients (PKV), self-pay patients, and BG cases. Core technology comprises 3-Tesla Philips MRI scanners at all locations, 128-slice Philips Incisive CT scanners with AI-assisted positioning and image reconstruction at multiple sites, Digital Volume Tomography (DVT) at select sites, and a Fujifilm/Hitachi Aperto open MRI at the Frankfurt location for anxiety and pediatric patients. The proprietary In-Bore audiovisual system provides video, music, and ambient lighting inside the MRI tunnel to reduce anxiety and lower abort rates; supporting infrastructure includes a RIS/PACS for web-based image access, the Xplore online booking portal, and Doctolib integration, with DSGVO-compliant patient records.

The company's revenue model blends a B2B pay-per-use "Radiology-on-Demand" service with direct B2C diagnostic billing. Under the Radiology-on-Demand model, partner physicians (Partnerärzte), hospitals, and MVZ pay a per-examination usage fee for access to nexmed's MRI/CT equipment, staffing, IT, and non-medical administration while retaining medical authority and billing sovereignty over their privately insured patients; no minimum volumes or long-term contracts are required. On the B2C side, nexmed bills privately insured and self-pay patients directly for diagnostic MRI, CT, DVT, and specialty examinations. Additional revenue streams include research and pharma partnerships for clinical trial imaging. GTM motion combines an enterprise field-sales/relationship-management approach for physician and institutional partner acquisition with digital self-serve booking for patients. The managing director listed in the imprint is Patrick Zinn; no parent company, external institutional investors, or public listing are disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Radiology Diagnostic Services – Private Pay/Insurance: nexmed operates as a private radiology practice (Privatpraxis) billing privately insured patients (PKV) and self-paying patients directly for MRI and CT examinations. The practice does not have statutory health insurance (GKV) billing rights. Patients or their private insurers pay for diagnostic services rendered at the centers.
2. Radiology-on-Demand Service Fees (Pay-per-use): Partner physicians and medical institutions pay a usage-based service fee to nexmed for access to MRI/CT equipment, facilities, non-medical staff, and administrative support. Partners retain the right to independently bill privately insured patients. No minimum volume, no long-term contracts required.
3. B2B Institutional Partnerships: Hospitals and MVZ (Medical Versorgungszentren) engage nexmed as a service provider for radiology diagnostics. nexmed handles equipment investment, staffing, IT, and operations, while the institution retains billing sovereignty and medical decision-making. Revenue is generated through a service fee model that covers all operational costs.

Direct peers

• Evidia (formerly medneo / Blikk): Evidia is a European diagnostic imaging chain (with German roots under medneo/Blikk) offering MRI, CT and other imaging services via partner-physician arrangements and direct patient access. Closely analogous business model and equipment stack to nexmed.
• Alliance Medical: Alliance Medical operates a pan-European diagnostic imaging services network (MRI, CT, PET/CT) often in partnership with hospitals and clinical research organizations. Directly comparable in its mix of patient-pay and B2B/institutional imaging services.
• Conradia (Conradia Radiology Group): Conradia operates a network of radiology practices and centers across Germany offering MRI, CT, and other imaging modalities with a partner-physician model. Directly comparable to nexmed in operating model, modality mix, and German market focus.
• Med360°: Med360° is one of Germany's largest medical care center (MVZ) networks with a strong radiology footprint, operating diagnostic imaging centers that partner with referring physicians. Closest direct operational peer to nexmed's Radiology-on-Demand concept at scale.

Broad incumbents

• Asklepios Kliniken: Asklepios is a major German private hospital operator with in-house radiology departments across many sites. Overlaps with nexmed in providing diagnostic imaging, but as part of a broader inpatient portfolio rather than a specialist outpatient imaging network.
• Helios (Fresenius Helios): Helios, part of Fresenius, operates one of Europe's largest hospital networks with significant in-house radiology capacity. Competes with nexmed for imaging volume in NRW/Hessen but operates a much broader clinical portfolio.
• RadNet: RadNet is the largest outpatient imaging center operator in the United States, with a multi-modality network model centered on MRI/CT. Useful strategic benchmark for nexmed's asset-light, partner-driven outpatient imaging model, though operating in a different geography.
