Medicasa

What Medicasa does

Medicasa Italia S.p.A. is an Italian home healthcare provider founded in 1993 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Liquide Healthcare since 1997. The company delivers integrated home care services (ADI — Assistenza Domiciliare Integrata) through the Italian National Health Service, providing home nursing, physiotherapy, respiratory assistance, artificial nutrition, and hospitalization-at-home services to non-self-sufficient, chronically ill, and elderly patients. Medicasa holds regional accreditations in Lombardia (since 2003), Lazio (since 2020), Sicily, Sardinia, and Abruzzo, and operates under public procurement in Campania, running 22+ operational centers across 6 regions with 1,700+ healthcare operators delivering 2,500,000+ home visits and serving 50,000+ patients per year.

The company's service delivery is supported by a digital infrastructure centered on the Medicasa Click&Care electronic medical record platform, telemedicine capabilities (televisita, telerehabilitation, teleconsultation), and a 24/7 centralized call center. The platform is certified under an extensive ISO stack (9001, 14001, 45001, 27001:2022, 27017, 27018, 22301, 20000), GDPR-compliant, and PATIENT FIRST certified by IEXP. Medicasa is integrated within Air Liquide's Italian Home Healthcare Business Unit alongside VitalAire, providing a continuum of care from hospital discharge to home.

The business model is anchored in public reimbursement: services are delivered free of charge to patients and funded by regional health authorities through multi-year accreditation contracts or public procurement tenders. Patient acquisition flows through general practitioner and hospital physician referrals to local health districts (ASL/ATS), which issue individualized care plans (PAI/PRI) and authorize accredited providers such as Medicasa. A secondary private-pay channel offers single physiotherapy and nursing sessions on a fee-for-service basis in five Lombardy cities (Milan, Crema, Cremona, Lodi, Monza). Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the company does not appear in independent funding or IPO channels as it is consolidated into Air Liquide Group reporting.
