What Rehasan does

REHASAN – Kliniken Holding GmbH is a privately held German healthcare group headquartered in Cologne that owns, operates, and manages seven specialized rehabilitation clinics across Germany (AOK-Nordseeklinik Amrum, AOK-Klinik Rügen, Ostseeklinik Prerow, Ostseeklinik Zingst, Ostseeklinik Grömitz, Fachklinik Schwaben, and Fachklinik Weserland). The group delivers inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services under statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) Versorgungsverträge pursuant to SGB V, covering indications including orthopedics, cardiology/pneumology (including COPD, Long COVID, Post COVID), psychosomatics, metabolic disorders (notably diabetes), and mother-father-child preventive and rehabilitative care. With approximately 800 employees and combined capacity of roughly 1,200 rooms/apartments, REHASAN serves over 100,000 documented hours of patient health improvement annually.

The company has built a digital health platform layered on top of its stationary operations: Rehasonanz.de, an online aftercare portal active since 2010 offering e-learning modules, guided exercises, health tests, and peer community features for a one-year post-discharge engagement period; TDKC (Telediabetologisches Kompetenz-Centrum), a CE-marked medical device providing telemedical diabetes rehabilitation; and the REHASAN-App deployed in 2026 at Ostseeklinik Prerow for therapy schedule, meal selection, and facility issue reporting. Unique therapeutic offerings include Germany's first children's circus therapy program (Ostseeklinik Zingst) and the therapy ship Mullewapp (AOK-Klinik Rügen). The group holds DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 and IQMP-Reha certifications and operates a Scientific Advisory Board (Wissenschaftlicher Beirat) with senior figures from health economics, pediatric medicine, insurance, and regulatory bodies.

REHASAN's business model is primarily per-case reimbursement from statutory health insurers (AOK, BARMER, BKK, DAK-G, IKK, KKH, Knappschaft Bahn See, Techniker Krankenkasse, Deutsche Rentenversicherung, and PKV), with revenue negotiated through Versorgungsverträge. Go-to-market is anchored on long-term exclusive or flagship partnerships — BARMER is the exclusive partner at Ostseeklinik Prerow, AOK PLUS anchors Rehasonanz, and AOK Rheinland/Hamburg maintains a 15-year partnership at AOK-Nordseeklinik Amrum. Newer corporate channels include a BMW BKK shift-worker program. Patients are referred through these insurer and corporate partnerships rather than direct consumer acquisition. The leadership transitioned in late 2025/early 2026, with Axel Mau moving from CFO to CEO following the departure of Frank Roschewsky after 30+ years.
