Gesundes Kinzigtal GmbH is a health care management company located in the small German town of Haslach, and on the banks of the river Kinzig. It is a joint venture between a network of physicians in Kinzigtal and OptiMedis AG and is responsible for organising care and improving the health of nearly half of the 71,000 population of Kinzigtal in Southwest Germany. About 50% of all General Practitioners and about 65% of the specialists in the Kinzigtal area are partners in the project. Since 2006, Gesundes Kinzigtal has held long-term contracts with two German not-for-profit sickness funds to integrate health and care services for their insured populations in Kinzigtal – covering all age groups and care settings, regardless of the healthcare provider. Approximately one third of the insured population of the sickness fund have actively enrolled in Gesundes Kinzigtal, which is free of charge. One of them is the SVLFG – formerly known and referred to as LKK – a special insurer for farmers and their families, while the second is AOK Baden-Württemberg, the biggest health insurer in the Southwest of Germany.
