Medical care center in Rhineland-Palatinate is about to end!

Medical care in Rhineland-Palatinate is facing a challenge: The medical care center (MVZ) Galeria Med GmbH filed for bankruptcy on September 10, 2025. Managing director Markus Abts informed the Rhineland-Palatinate Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KV RLP) on September 15th that the practices in Neuwied, Andernach and Nastätten would be closed on October 1st, 2025. At least one practice is already closed, causing some uncertainty among staff and patients still waiting to be paid.

The provisional insolvency administrator, lawyer Alexander Römer from the law firm dhpg in Koblenz, is currently checking whether there is a reason for insolvency and which variants of continuation are conceivable. So far it remains unclear whether all practices in the affected cities will actually have to close or whether the remaining locations will be affected. The MVZ operates a total of eight practices in the region, so the effects could be far-reaching. How calf reported, there has been no further information from management about the situation at this time, which puts the affected employees and patients in an uncertain position.

Measures to ensure patient care

However, KV RLP has already become active and is working on solutions to provide continued care for patients. Discussions with employed doctors and regional practices have already begun. Contacts are also made with other doctors and stakeholders in order to enable a quick response to the situation. Short-term deployments of a mobile doctor's office are planned to ensure basic medical care. KV RLP will publish new information in the near future as it becomes available. Nastätten.de emphasizes that KV RLP is seeking close cooperation with the doctors concerned in order to clarify the situation.

In view of these developments, the question arises as to how the population will react to the threatened closures and what alternatives are available for patients. KV RLP sees itself as responsible for ensuring adequate continued care in order to meet the needs of patients and close gaps in care. It remains to be hoped that through the clairvoyant measures taken by KV RLP, solutions will be found as quickly as possible that will help the affected citizens receive the necessary medical support.

The situation in the healthcare sector is becoming increasingly critical, especially in times when other clinics, such as a clinic in Bavaria that recently filed for bankruptcy, are also affected by such challenges. This highlights the pressure on healthcare in the region and the need for forward-looking approaches to maintain necessary medical services. KV RLP reiterates its intention to do everything possible to ensure that patients can continue to receive the necessary medical care.
