Altrio Thuisverpleging

What Altrio Thuisverpleging does

Altrio Thuisverpleging operates as a regionally distributed home nursing provider in Flanders, Belgium, organizing a network of 1,050+ self-employed nurses ("zelfstandige thuisverpleegkundigen") across 50+ Altrio points covering all five Flemish provinces (Antwerp, East Flanders, West Flanders, Limburg, Flemish Brabant). The company serves 12,225 patients with comprehensive in-home nursing services — wound care, diabetes management, stoma and catheter care, oncology, hygiene, palliative care, mental health and dementia support, medication preparation, and incontinence care — available 24/7 including nights and weekends, with intentional continuity via assignment of the same nurses to each patient.

The platform backbone rests on Odoo-based tools: a public-facing care request intake ("Thuisverpleging Zorgaanvraag"), a member portal ("Altrionet"), and a mobile access companion ("Flexizorg") for affiliated nurses. Altrio also uses an Elektronisch Medisch Dossier (EMD) for patient records, and integrates the Bingli AI tool to handle intake questions and administrative tasks under human oversight. Beyond direct-to-consumer care, Altrio delivers project-based services — Hospital@Home collaborations with hospitals like Imeldaziekenhuis Bonheiden, supplemental staffing for care facilities and foundations (e.g., Stichting Marguerite-Marie Delacroix), care hotel partnerships (Hotel Middelpunt), and innovation projects targeting alternative elderly and rehabilitation care models.

Commercially, Altrio bills most care directly to Belgian health insurance funds (ziekenfondsen) under the derdebetalerssysteem (third-party payer system), requiring physician prescriptions. Project-based revenue comes from structured Hospital@Home, care facility, and care hotel contracts. The GTM model is predominantly direct-to-consumer via website forms and phone, supplemented by healthcare professional referrals (physicians, hospitals, care facilities) and recruiter-led nurse acquisition through job postings, student internships, and community events. The legal entity Altrio Thuisverpleging BV sits under the broader Altrio Group umbrella alongside Meraki Partners, with no disclosed external funding or PE investment.

Revenue model

1. Health Insurance Billing (Derdebetalerssysteem): Altrio directly bills health insurance funds (ziekenfondsen) for care provided to patients. Most care services require a doctor's prescription. Under the third-party payer system, patients receive care at little to no direct cost, with Altrio collecting reimbursement from the government health insurance system.
2. Project-based Care Contracts: Altrio provides specialized nursing services to healthcare facilities (voorzieningen), hospitals, and medical practices through structured project agreements, including Hospital@home initiatives with hospital partnerships.
