About ADH
An information center for healthcare billing topics
ADH Abrechnungszentrum für Heilmittelerbringer GmbH is based in Hamburg and maintains this website as a general knowledge resource for Heilmittelerbringer seeking to understand medical claims administration.
Our background
Explaining billing, one term at a time
Our team has spent years around the administrative side of remedial therapy practices — physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and podiatry — and noticed how much confusion surrounds statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) billing procedures.
This site was created to gather that knowledge into one place: clear explanations of terminology, typical claim stages, and the documentation practices commonly expect from insurers, all presented for informational purposes only.
- Content reviewed for clarity by our editorial team.
- Focused on Germany's statutory and private insurance landscape.
- No paid memberships, subscriptions, or checkout flows.
