Friskvernklinikken AS

What Friskvernklinikken AS does

Friskvernklinikken AS, trading as Unicare Friskvern Rehabiliteringssenter, is a single-site interdisciplinary specialized rehabilitation center located at Knud Askers vei 20 in Asker, Norway. The clinic delivers day rehabilitation (dagrehabilitering) within Norway's specialist healthcare services for four principal patient cohorts: adults and children with morbid obesity, individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME), patients with long-term muscle and soft tissue pain, and those requiring work-oriented rehabilitation. It also runs assessment and evaluation services (kartlegging og vurdering). The center maintains ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and operates the Friskvern Aktiv fitness sub-brand at the Trekanten site in Asker.

The clinic's technology layer is built around two proprietary digital assets developed within the Unicare group: CaReScreen, a digital questionnaire-based screening tool that identifies post-treatment problems and rehabilitation needs in cancer patients; and Aktiv Online (Unicare Aktiv Online), a digital training platform that enables remote exercise and continuity-of-care between in-person sessions. These tools are integrated into rehabilitation pathways alongside in-person clinical programs and are positioned as continuity-of-care and monitoring enhancers rather than independent products.

Commercially, Friskvernklinikken AS operates across three revenue streams: (1) public healthcare contracts funded through framework agreements with Norwegian regional health authorities, most notably Helse Sør-Øst (valid through October 30, 2026) and Helse Midt-Norge via its Unicare parent; (2) insurance-funded rehabilitation covered by private health insurance or employer-provided schemes; and (3) private self-pay services including psychology, physiotherapy, body analysis, dietary guidance, lifestyle change programs, and educational courses such as Artroseskolen. Patient access for public and insurance-funded pathways runs through physician (fastlege) and hospital referrals, with patient co-payments (egenandel) under public contracts. The entity functions as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unicare, Norway's largest private rehabilitation provider, which operates 14 day and residential units across the Helse Sør-Øst, Helse Midt-Norge, and Nord Norge regions.
