Revenue model

1. Offentlig kontrakt - Helse Sør-Øst: Government-funded rehabilitation services through contracted agreement with regional health authority Helse Sør-Øst RHF. Contract currently extended to October 31, 2026 following political intervention after Godthaab initially lost the tender in October 2025. Revenue depends on public procurement cycles and political decisions.
2. Egenfinansiert opphold (Self-financed stays): Self-pay rehabilitation stays for patients who choose Godthaab without public referral or insurance funding. New DRIV program launched for former patients as follow-up offering at 5,900-13,200 kr for overnight stays and 600 kr per day for day visits.

Core offering

Godthaab delivers interdisciplinary specialized rehabilitation as overnight inpatient stays (døgnopphold) and day programs (dagopphold) for patients recovering from musculoskeletal fractures and wear injuries, cardiac events, rheumatological diseases, and complex multi-symptom conditions including long COVID. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of physiotherapists, sports pedagogues, doctors, nurses, psychologists, and clinical nutritionists, supported by individualized treatment plans, group training, on-site meals, and a digital follow-up tool (Flowzone). The institution supplements its public contract with Helse Sør-Øst RHF by accepting self-pay patients and offering the new DRIV follow-up program for former patients.
