A family doctor or a practical man is an established (freelance) physician, who is for the patient usually the first approach place for medical problems and must according to the family doctor model even be.

In Germany are active as family doctors:

Specialists for general medicine
House-medically established specialists for internal medicine
Practical physicians without specialist acknowledgment (an address as a practical physician is no longer possible today with a cash permission)

It is as a rule with the pharmacist the first technical-medical "approach place ", which one visits with health problems or questions. With more serious diseases or fever many of these physicians are ready also for house attendance.

For family doctor and patient a bond of trust is important, why one speaks also of the family physician. Ideally the physician of earlier opportunities essentially knows the life and/or patient history, while he must raise her with new patients only in longer discussion (anamnesis). By a certain knowledge and the confidence of the patients family doctors can help the personal situation often also with psychological problems or conflicts better than some specialist.

If necessary, the family doctor writes also the transfer to the specialist, to a special therapy and/or in the hospital.

The accounting of its achievements is made by the health insurance company, if necessary with one selfkept or a practice fee, and - with private patients - with these directly.
