Rejuvenate Kidney Transplant Solutions

What Rejuvenate Kidney Transplant Solutions does

Rejuvenate Kidney Transplant Solutions (operating as Rejuvenate Healthcare) is a privately held healthcare services firm headquartered in Perrysburg, Ohio, founded in 2016 (with company-history sources citing 2019). It sells a Kidney Concierge solution to self-insured employers, labor unions, benefits consultants, third-party administrators, stop-loss carriers, and captives. The service identifies employees and dependents with late-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) through claims-data analysis and guides qualified candidates through the U.S. transplant system, helping them reach transplantation in roughly six months versus a 3-5 year national average wait time.

The core technological differentiator traces to co-founders Dr. Michael Rees (transplant surgeon at the University of Toledo) and 2012 Nobel economics laureate Alvin Roth (Stanford/Harvard), who helped design kidney paired-donation matching algorithms and founded the Alliance for Paired Kidney Donation (APKD) in 2006. Rejuvenate combines that matching IP with proprietary transplant-center selection logic — accounting for wait times, insurance compatibility, and patient factors — and a white-glove clinical navigation layer covering mental health, nutrition, education, and physical fitness to ensure patients qualify for and survive transplantation. The company also stewards international kidney-exchange initiatives via the Global Kidney Exchange and supports Kidneys for Communities.

The revenue model is outcome-based: clients pay only on successful transplant delivery as a percentage of healthcare cost savings, with no upfront fees. Reported client outcomes include a 41% reduction in ESRD costs, $7.6M in cumulative six-year savings, and an average of two lives saved per year for a Fortune 500 anchor client with 15,000 covered lives (Owens Corning). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a broker, consultant, TPA, and stop-loss/captive partner channel. The company operates with 11-50 employees, has raised only minor disclosed funding (~$116k across three rounds through Feb 2024), and is structured as Rejuvenate Healthcare, LLC in Ohio.

Core offering

Rejuvenate operates a Kidney Concierge service that identifies employees with chronic kidney disease/end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within employer populations and guides them through qualification, donor matching, and the transplant journey. The service leverages Nobel Prize-winning kidney exchange matching algorithms and a curated network of transplant centers to expedite transplants, typically within six months versus a 3-5 year national average wait. Fees are charged only when a transplant is successfully delivered, structured as a share of the client's healthcare cost savings.

Product overview

Rejuvenate Kidney Transplant Solutions operates as a single integrated healthcare service offering centered on its Kidney Concierge Solution. This core product is a comprehensive concierge service that guides individuals with kidney failure through the entire transplant journey. The solution focuses on three main areas: navigating the complex healthcare maze, qualifying patients for transplantation through support in mental health, nutrition, education and physical fitness, and ensuring long-term success post-transplant. Rejuvenate also offers a Free Data Analysis service for employers to evaluate their ESRD burden. The company's community programs, branded under 'Rejuvenate Cares,' include partnerships with the Alliance for Paired Donations (APKD), Global Kidney Exchange, and Kidneys for Communities, which extend the company's mission beyond client services to broader organ donation advocacy.

Emerging players

• TransMedics Group: Medical technology company focused on organ transplant logistics and preservation for heart, lung, and liver. Adjacent player in the transplant ecosystem; could be a partner or acquirer interested in transplant care navigation.
• Bridge to Life: Organ preservation and transplant logistics supplier serving transplant centers. Operates in the same transplant value chain as Rejuvenate but on the supply side; could be a channel partner or ecosystem adjacency.

Direct peers

• Somatus: Value-based kidney care company serving health plans and health systems with CKD/ESRD population management. Direct competitor in identifying and managing kidney patients for self-insured and payer clients, though with a broader dialysis and CKD focus and a much larger capital base.
• Strive Health: Kidney care platform providing CKD and ESRD management, including care navigation and transplant support, to health plans, providers, and employer groups. The most directly comparable competitor, though operating at significantly greater scale with venture funding.
• Monogram Health: In-home kidney and polychronic care provider serving health plans and at-risk provider groups. Operates in the same kidney failure care navigation space with value-based contracts, overlapping with Rejuvenate's employer/payer focus.
• Healthmap Solutions: Specialty care management company focused on CKD and ESRD populations for health plans and at-risk providers. Competes in the same employer/payer value-based kidney care segment with similar predictive analytics-driven identification of at-risk members.

Broad incumbents

• InterWell Health: Kidney care value-based care company formed from Fresenius, Cricket Health, and InterWell Health, serving nephrology practices and payer clients. Competes broadly in the kidney care navigation market that Rejuvenate addresses, with much larger institutional backing.
• DaVita Kidney Care: Largest U.S. dialysis provider and integrated kidney care services company, serving ESRD patients across the full care continuum. While its core business is dialysis (which Rejuvenate helps patients avoid), it is a major incumbent shaping the kidney care landscape Rejuvenate operates in.
• Fresenius Medical Care: Global dialysis services and products company with an integrated care segment. Represents the incumbent dialysis industry that Rejuvenate's transplant-focused model is positioned against, with significant scale and infrastructure advantages.

Others

• Health Catalyst: Healthcare data and analytics platform serving health systems and payers. Relevant as a potential data infrastructure partner or competitor in the population-health analytics layer that Rejuvenate uses for CKD/ESRD member identification.
