Berufsverband der Kinder- und Jugendärzte e.V.

The Berufsverband der Kinder- und Jugendärztinnen e.V. (BVKJ) is the leading professional interest representation of pediatricians in Germany. With about 11,500 members from practices, clinics, and the public health sector, the BVKJ actively advocates for the best possible health care for children and adolescents.

• Telemedicine Offers: The BVKJ has developed innovative telemedicine solutions in collaboration with the company Monks, such as the practice app "Meine pädiatrische Praxis" and the app "bvkj.DIREKT". These tools enable data protection-compliant digital communication between pediatric practices and their patients as well as the parents, and support scientific research into new forms of care[1].
• Insurance and Consulting Services: Through cooperation with the Helmsauer Group and the assekuranz ag, the BVKJ offers its members comprehensive support in the areas of insurance, billing of selective contracts, continuing education, and business consulting. The assekuranz ag provides particularly transparent and powerful insurance concepts for the medical profession[1].
• Fee Negotiations and Political Influence: The BVKJ is involved in fee negotiations and demands compensation for rising practice costs. In addition, the association publishes statements on health policy issues to strengthen outpatient care and regulate profit-oriented practice chains[2].

The main mission of the BVKJ is to continuously improve the health care of children and adolescents. The association advocates for the interests of its members and works towards ensuring that children and adolescents receive the best possible medical care. Transparency, collaboration, and the protection of members are central values of the BVKJ[1][2].

• Innovative Health Care: The BVKJ promotes the development and implementation of new forms of care and telemedicine solutions to optimize health care for children and adolescents[1].
