Its members are doctors and psychotherapists licensed for statutory insurance care, along with salaried physicians in medical care centres and hospital doctors authorised for outpatient treatment. The association provides member practices with advice on billing, economics, practice entry and sale, and telematics infrastructure. It is supervised by the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs of North Rhine-Westphalia in matters of proper provision of care.

The website describes services and programmes including the KVNO Startpraxis for family practice in rural areas, a practice exchange day in Düsseldorf, and the Praxis4future exhibition in Cologne with AI tools for practices. It states that its work covers about 9.5 million residents of Nordrhein.
