FresuCare AG

What FresuCare AG does

FresuCare AG is a Swiss homecare provider specializing in clinical nutrition therapy delivered to patients in their homes and in care institutions. Founded as a legal entity in 2021 after more than 25 years operating as a service division of Fresenius Kabi, the company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius Kabi (Schweiz) AG and is headquartered in Kriens, Canton of Lucerne. FresuCare serves patients across all of Switzerland and Liechtenstein who require enteral (tube), parenteral (intravenous), or oral clinical nutrition, including pediatric and adult patients with conditions such as cystic fibrosis, Dravet syndrome, intestinal failure, cancer, and chronic malnutrition. Its customer base also includes referring healthcare professionals (hospitals, physicians, dietitians, nursing services) and institutional buyers such as nursing homes (EMS).

The company's core offering is a single-source homecare service that bundles clinical nutrition products from multiple manufacturers (Abbott, Baxter, B. Braun, Nestlé, Nutricia, Omanda, and Fresenius Kabi) with hospital discharge coordination, insurance cost-coverage handling, 24-hour emergency telephone support, nutritional counselling by in-house dietitians, and technical maintenance of nutrition pumps. FresuCare operates an in-house public pharmacy (founded 2021) and a 24/7 webshop for self-service ordering, both compliant with Swiss Heilmittelgesetz requirements and aligned with GESKES (Swiss Society for Clinical Nutrition) guidelines. Digital infrastructure is provided by Fresenius Netcare GmbH under ISO 27001-certified information security management.

FresuCare generates revenue through prescription-driven clinical nutrition therapy, product delivery, device rental, and homecare services, billed directly to Swiss basic health insurers, accident insurers, military insurance, and disability insurance (IV) — with cost coverage coordinated through intermediaries such as santéservices ag and direct relationships with CSS, Helsana, Sanitas, and KPT. Patient acquisition is primarily referral-driven via hospitals and prescribers, supported by a regionally distributed field sales team, an inside-sales Customer Service function, and the e-commerce webshop. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales combined with inside sales and B2B2C insurance billing, with no direct consumer pricing or marketing.

Core offering

FresuCare AG provides home-based clinical nutrition therapy across Switzerland and Liechtenstein, delivering enteral (tube), parenteral (intravenous), and oral nutritional supplements prescribed by physicians, combined with hospital-to-home discharge coordination, direct insurance cost-coverage management with Swiss health insurers, equipment (pump) rental and maintenance, dietitian-led nutritional counselling, and 24/7 emergency telephone support. The company operates its own in-house public pharmacy for legally compliant dispensing and a 24/7 online webshop for autonomous ordering.

Product overview

FresuCare AG operates as a unified homecare platform offering integrated clinical nutrition services, combining in-house pharmacy services, a proprietary online webshop, patient registration systems, and coordinated care delivery. The core portfolio includes three principal nutrition therapy types — enteral (tube) feeding, parenteral (intravenous) feeding, and oral nutritional supplements — sourced from manufacturers including Abbott, Baxter, B. Braun, Nestlé, Nutricia, Omanda, and Fresenius Kabi, all prescribed and managed according to GESKES (SSNC) guidelines. Supporting services include hospital discharge management, insurance and cost-coverage coordination, nutritional counselling by dietitians, 24-hour emergency telephone support, technical equipment support (pumps), and a web-based ordering platform. The in-house pharmacy (established 2021) underpins the integrated service model by ensuring legally compliant dispensing and prescription control. Together these modules form a single-source, networked homecare service rather than a modular software platform.
