New GOP codes now let physicians bill for DiGA accompaniments directly. At the same time, the nationwide rollout of the electronic patient record (ePA) for 73 million statutory-insurance policyholders is gathering pace. Together, these two shifts are fundamentally reshaping the purchasing landscape of Germany\u2019s health-care system: health insurers are morphing into enterprise buyers of digital infrastructure, and interoperability is becoming a core tender requirement. For IT service providers, this is a structural market-opening moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#202528;color:#fff;padding:28px 32px;margin:28px 0;border-radius:8px;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;font-size:0.9em;font-weight:800;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.18em;color:#F21F05;border-bottom:2px solid rgba(242,31,5,0.3);padding-bottom:10px;\">Key Takeaways<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:22px;color:rgba(255,255,255,0.92);line-height:1.7;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><strong style=\"color:#fff;\">DiGA reform as of 01.04.2026:<\/strong> New GOP codes let contracted physicians bill for DiGA accompaniments directly, boosting physician-side demand and creating fresh revenue paths for DiGA manufacturers.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><strong style=\"color:#fff;\">ePA as infrastructure catalyst:<\/strong> The blanket ePA (opt-out) has been live since February 2025. 2026 is the year in which back-office integration with the regional association (KV) systems becomes critical.

The ePA (electronic patient record) is the central digital patient record that will be automatically created for all 73 million GKV-insured individuals starting February 2025 (opt-out instead of opt-in). Both instruments are linked through the Telematics Infrastructure 2.0 (TI 2.0) operated by gematik.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\">The DiGA reimbursement reform effective 1 April 2026 expands beyond direct physician prescription: new GOP codes in the EBM (Uniform Valuation Standard) now explicitly allow billing for physician time spent on DiGA guidance and documentation. While technical in nature, this change delivers a direct economic incentive\u2014physicians now have a billing incentive to actively integrate DiGA into treatment pathways, not just prescribe it.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-radius:8px;padding:22px 26px;margin:28px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;font-size:0.78em;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.14em;color:#F21F05;\">Digital Health Market Potential Germany 2026<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr);gap:16px;text-align:center;\">\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-size:2em;font-weight:800;color:#202528;margin:0;\">73 Mio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:0.8em;color:#555;margin:4px 0 0;\">GKV-insured with ePA<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-size:2em;font-weight:800;color:#202528;margin:0;\">800+ Mio.

In 2026, three forces rewrite that equation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\">First, the ePA mandate creates a time-critical investment squeeze. Health-insurance funds that fail to adapt their infrastructure by the end of 2026 risk regulatory penalties and a competitive disadvantage in member acquisition. Investments that used to be spread over three to five years are now compressed into 12 to 18 months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\">Second, the gematik\u2019s TI-2.0 infrastructure is now stable enough for production projects. Early TI-1.x headaches\u2014connector chaos and glacial gematik approvals\u2014have largely been resolved, slashing implementation risk for IT service providers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\">Third, skilled talent is still available. From 2027 to 2029 the market for healthcare-IT specialists will tighten significantly. Firms that recruit and upskill now gain a two- to three-year head start before larger IT players flood the segment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:0.85em;color:#555;margin-bottom:20px;\"><em>Sources: gematik DiGA directory Q1 2026, Federal Ministry of Health reimbursement-reform press release (April 2026), National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds Digitalization Report 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>What\u2019s the difference between the old and new DiGA reimbursement models?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6;\">Previously, physicians could prescribe DiGA but could not bill separately for the accompanying time. The reform, effective April 2026, adds specific GOP codes in the EBM that make documentation and consultation time directly billable around DiGA prescriptions. This increases physicians\u2019 incentive to integrate DiGA more actively into treatment pathways, which in turn drives demand for DiGA-compatible PVS integration.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>Can IT service providers with no prior healthcare experience qualify for GKV projects?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6;\">Formally yes, but practically access without healthcare references is difficult. Health insurers typically require documented experience in GDPR-compliant health-data processing and ideally BSI certifications or gematik approvals for the infrastructure components used. The fastest entry is a subcontracting arrangement with a certified healthcare-IT provider for the first 1\u20132 projects.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>How does FHIR integration with the ePA work technically?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6;\">The ePA uses HL7 FHIR R4 as the data format for structured health data. Access is provided via the ePA connector of the Telematics Infrastructure 2.0. Practice management systems (PVS) and hospital information systems (KIS) must implement FHIR-compliant APIs to read and write data to and from the ePA. gematik publishes implementation guides and offers a test environment at epa.gematik.de.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>Which GKV insurers are the most relevant buyers of digital infrastructure?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6;\">TK (11.5 million insured), DAK (5.7 million) and the AOK Group (26+ million) are the largest buyers. The AOK Group is decentralized (11 regional AOKs), making tenders more complex but also creating entry points for smaller providers. The BKK association and IKK funds are attractive for specialized offerings. Tender platform: dtvp.de and bund.de\/EVERGABE for public tenders.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><strong>What are the key compliance requirements for digital health infrastructure?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 4px 24px;color:#555;line-height:1.6;\">Three regulatory frameworks are central: GDPR (including Article 9 for health data as a special category), SGB V (\u00a7\u00a7 291a\u2013291g for ePA-specific processing rules) and the BSI C5 criteria catalog for cloud infrastructure processing health data. In addition, gematik approval is required for any component directly connected to the TI. BSI publishes technical guidelines for healthcare IT at bsi.bund.de.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;padding-top:16px;\">Editor\u2019s Reading
