What Mvz Prof. Dr. Uhlenbrock Gmbh does

MVZ Prof. Dr. Uhlenbrock GmbH is a German outpatient medical care center (Medizinisches Versorgungszentrum / MVZ) headquartered in the Ruhr region and founded in 1993 by Prof. Dr. Detlev Uhlenbrock. The company operates a network of 19 locations across the Ruhr and Westfalen regions of North Rhine-Westphalia, providing diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy services to patients covered under German statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurance. Its clinical portfolio spans radiology (X-ray, CT, MRI, mammography), nuclear medicine (SPECT/CT, PET/CT, and most recently PET/MRI), and radiotherapy (including AI-assisted linear accelerators), with embedded service delivery to 25+ partner hospitals and participation in certified oncology centers.

The technology platform is anchored in advanced imaging hardware (3T MRI, dual-source CT, PET/CT, Mamma-CT) and AI-enabled diagnostic workflows, with particular depth in lung cancer screening — where the company reports the first worldwide clinical deployment of AI-assisted lung X-ray interpretation, supported by a research collaboration with Siemens Healthineers. Since 2020, the company has executed an aggressive roll-up strategy through multiple acquisitions, scaling from a regional practice into a 19-site network employing 712 staff and 104+ physicians, while adding adjacent clinical verticals such as hematology/oncology.

Revenue is generated primarily through German statutory and private health insurance reimbursement for outpatient diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, supplemented by hospital partnership contracts and certified-center service arrangements (EANM PET/CT Center of Excellence, cardiovascular DRG certification). The company is family-owned, has not taken external venture or growth-equity capital, and operates within the regulated German outpatient reimbursement framework (EBM/GOÄ and DRG).

Revenue model

1. Statutory Health Insurance (GKV) Reimbursement: The vast majority of diagnostic and therapeutic services are reimbursed through Germany's statutory health insurance system (Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung, GKV). The MVZ operates as a contracted care provider under agreements with the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Westfalen-Lippe (KVWL), billing per the German Uniform Value Scale (EBM). Lung cancer screening costs are fully covered by statutory health insurers for eligible participants.
2. Private Health Insurance (PKV) and Self-Pay Services: Services provided to privately insured patients are billed according to the German Scale of Fees for Physicians (GOÄ). The MVZ also offers a dedicated phone line for private patients and self-payers (0231 9433-8844). Self-pay options are available for certain screening programs and diagnostic services not covered by statutory insurance.
3. Hospital Cooperation and Referral Services: The MVZ provides radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiotherapy services in close cooperation with numerous hospitals across the Ruhr region, serving as the diagnostic and therapeutic backbone for multiple hospital-based cancer centers and certified medical centers, generating revenue through inter-institutional service agreements.
