The medHybrid is a stationary eHealth terminal used as an eGK card reader and payment terminal in medical practices and facilities. It enables cashless processing of IGeL services, prescriptions, and practice fees, and is gematik-approved as an eHealth BCS terminal after market launch. The device combines the functions of a card reader with those of a payment terminal, thus providing a future-proof, integrated billing solution in the healthcare sector.

Applications
This terminal is primarily designed for use in medical practices, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities where billing for health services via electronic health cards (eGK) and statutory health insurance cards (KVK) is required. It also supports cashless payment of practice fees and IGeL services, making it a central device for billing in medical environments. The integrated thermal printer enables immediate issuance of payment receipts, supporting daily workflow in the practice.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The medHybrid features a hybrid card reader supporting all common payment methods. It reads both the electronic health card (eGK) and the statutory health insurance card (KVK). Additionally, two extra slots for security cards (SCM) are integrated, which can be used for institutional cards, for example. This extension allows flexible use in environments requiring multiple security certificates or authentication methods. The integrated printing function is performed by a thermal printer, which issues payment receipts directly at the device.

Technology Explained Simply
The terminal is equipped with multiple interfaces: two serial interfaces, one USB port, and a DFÜ interface. This variety of interfaces enables flexible integration into existing IT systems and connection to various peripheral devices. Secure cable routing ensures orderly and interference-free cabling, which is particularly important in medical facilities where stable and reliable connections are required. The device dimensions are 275 mm (length) × 90 mm (width) × 75 mm (height), resulting in a compact design that integrates well into practice environments.

Compatibility and Accessories
The medHybrid is compatible with gematik requirements and can be used as an eHealth BCS terminal. It is optionally available without an integrated thermal printer, allowing adaptation to existing printing systems. As suitable accessories, the Key-Pad® MED is offered, providing an additional user interface for the terminal. Combining it with this keypad can simplify operation in daily practice, especially for entering PINs or other data.

Mounting and Installation
The device is designed for stationary use and is typically placed on a counter or desk. Installation requires connecting via the provided interfaces (serial, USB, DFÜ) to the respective practice system. Secure cable routing supports orderly cabling, which should be considered during installation.

Operational Advantages
The medHybrid combines multiple functions in one device: eGK card reading, payment terminal, and integrated thermal printer. This reduces the number of devices required in the practice and simplifies workflow. Support for SCM slots enables flexible use in environments with higher security requirements. Approval as an eHealth BCS terminal after market launch ensures compliance with current legal and technical requirements in the healthcare sector.
