Primary care centered on family doctors (HZV), also known as the family doctor model, is a healthcare model in which the family doctor serves as the first point of contact for medical care. Health insurance companies are required to offer HZV. The family doctor coordinates all treatment and refers patients to other specialists or the hospital as needed.
