We carry the paperwork, so you can carry on caring for patients.
We are PVS Schleswig-Holstein/Hamburg rkV, a registered cooperative billing association built by physicians, for physicians. For five decades we have quietly handled the invoicing, receivables management, and financial administration that private medical practices across northern Germany depend on.
A quiet, dependable partner behind every invoice
Our work rarely makes headlines, and that is exactly how we like it. Behind the scenes, we translate clinical services into accurate invoices, follow up patiently with payers, and keep receivables management running smoothly so that our member practices are free to focus on medicine rather than administration.
Medical Billing
We prepare and submit invoices for private and mixed-insurance patients with the precision the fee schedules demand, so practices are compensated fairly and on time.
Receivables Management
We monitor outstanding balances, coordinate reminders, and pursue overdue payments respectfully but persistently, protecting the cash flow of the practices we serve.
Financial Services
Beyond billing, we advise member practices on financial planning, liquidity, and the administrative side of running a modern medical practice.
Founded by physicians who wanted their time back
We began as a modest cooperative in Bad Segeberg, started by a handful of local doctors who were tired of losing evenings to paperwork instead of patients. Over the decades, that simple idea, that billing should be handled by people who genuinely understand medicine, grew into the association we are today.
We remain owned by the very practices we serve, which means our incentives have never drifted from theirs. When our members do well, we do well, and that shared interest still shapes every decision we make.

Accuracy we stand behind
Every invoice passes through careful review before it leaves our offices, because a small error today can mean weeks of delay later.
Decades of trust
Generations of physicians in this region have relied on us, and many of today's member practices were introduced to us by colleagues before them.
Confidentiality by design
Patient and practice data are handled under strict confidentiality standards, treated with the same discretion we would expect for our own families.
