Muritunet

What Muritunet does

Muritunet AS is a specialized rehabilitation center founded in 1994, operating two facilities in Valldal (inpatient/overnight) and Ålesund/Moa (day and polyclinic) in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. The center delivers publicly funded rehabilitation under an agreement with Helse Midt-Norge RHF, accepting referrals from GPs, hospitals, and specialists through the Regional Vurderingsenhet (RVE). Service lines span work-oriented rehabilitation, chronic muscle and soft tissue pain, cancer, cardiac, pulmonary/COPD, complex, lymphedema, orthopedic, and lifestyle-change (obesity) programs, plus an NAV-funded expert-assistance service for employers managing sick leave. Since 1994, the center has treated over 25,000 patients.

The operating model is built on multidisciplinary teams (physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, work consultants, nutritionists) and integrated digital infrastructure: CheckWare for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), AdVoca/Digipost for electronic patient communication (transitioning from paper in 2026), and Join for video consultation. The center is NS-ISO 9001:2015 certified and participates in the RehabNytte and BRIDGE clinical research networks. Notable recent additions include Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) for neuroplastic pain, with first patients expected in 2026, and a 2024 sick-leave course for managers.

Revenue is overwhelmingly derived from public healthcare contracts with Helse Midt-Norge RHF, supplemented by NAV subsidies for the expert-assistance employer service and patient co-payments (egenandel) capped at NOK 3,278 annually. Co-payment pricing varies by modality (e.g., NOK 163/day for day rehabilitation, NOK 386/NOK 443 per outpatient visit). Muritunet plans to introduce a private-pay PRT course program in 2026, representing the first material non-public revenue stream. The organization is a non-profit operating entity within a private limited company structure, with 40 employees and no disclosed external investors.
