The revenue model is transactional across multiple streams: prescription and OTC medication sales (subject to Danish medication subsidy tiers), service fees (vaccinations, counseling, breast pump rental, inhalation checks), delivery fees (40 kr per trip in postal codes 2800 and 2830), and an after-hours on-call fee of 20.65 kr.
