What curaplus - außerklinische Intensivpflege does

CURAplus GmbH is an Austrian out-of-hospital intensive care provider (außerklinische Intensivpflege) founded in 2013 and headquartered in Moosburg, Carinthia. The company operates two core service lines: home intensive care for ventilator-dependent adults and a pediatric family care division for chronically ill children. CURAplus is the largest professional provider of home ventilation care in Austria, operating across all nine federal states with a workforce of approximately 100 employees.

Service delivery relies on specialized respiratory equipment including mobile blood gas analysis devices, Cough Assist, AIRVO humidification systems, and diaphragm pacemakers. Internal operations are supported by the CODY.care digital case management platform, and the company runs an in-house academy for training intensive care nurses. Founder and Managing Director Michael Tesar leads the company, with a management team spanning nursing, finance, HR, and marketing.

The business model is primarily B2G, with revenue derived from public funding negotiated with Austrian regional governments and social insurance providers; in Vienna and Tyrol, funding is approved on a case-by-case basis. Private consultation services are priced at EUR 100/hour plus travel fees. Customer segments are ventilator-dependent adults and chronically ill children, with referral pipelines from hospitals and physicians.

Core offering

curaplus provides out-of-hospital intensive care and specialized pediatric home nursing in Austria, employing qualified nursing specialists to deliver continuous care for ventilator-dependent adults, children, and infants. The company manages the entire discharge process from hospital to home, including structured case management, financing arrangements with public payers, and ongoing 24/7 specialized nursing support in the patient's home.

Product overview

curaplus operates as a unified healthcare services company offering two core service lines: home intensive care (home intensive care) for adults requiring long-term ventilation and complex nursing, and family care (Kinderkrankenpflege) for pediatric patients. These core offerings are supported by case and care management services including the curaplus round table coordination methodology. The company also organizes the #whocares industry congress.
