The outgoing federal government has decided: the electronic patient record (ePA) is coming for all patients on January 15, 2025 - unless they object! First mandatory in so-called model regions ("guinea pigs") - Kirchheim near Munich is not one of them!

If you still want to get more information, contact my office directly or see the german version of this page for information material (in German).

If you have further questions, it is best to contact your health insurance directly - they have all the information and are obliged to advise you!
