Revenue model

1. Statutory Long-Term Care Insurance (SGB XI) — Basic Care Services: Recurring reimbursements from German statutory long-term care insurance (Pflegeversicherung) for basic care services (Grundpflege) across all five care grades (Pflegegrad 1–5). Rates are government-regulated under SGB XI. Patients may receive combination benefits where care allowance (Pflegegeld) is partially paid alongside Sachleistungen.
2. Statutory Health Insurance (SGB V) — Medical Home Care: Reimbursements from statutory health insurance (Krankenkasse) for prescribed medical home care (Behandlungspflege/häusliche Krankenpflege) under SGB V, requiring a doctor's prescription (ärztliche Verordnung).
3. Respite Care (Verhinderungspflege): Substitute care payments from the care insurance when family caregivers are temporarily unable to provide care (e.g., due to vacation or illness), for up to six weeks per year. Pflegegeld continues at 50% during this period.
4. Self-Pay / Private Patients: Self-pay revenues from private patients and services not covered by statutory insurance, including supplementary care services, household assistance, and additional Betreuungsleistungen.
