Apria Healthcare

What Apria Healthcare does

Apria Healthcare is one of the largest U.S. providers of integrated home medical equipment and clinical support services, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, and operating as a private subsidiary of Owens & Minor under the Accendra Health brand alongside Byram Healthcare. The company serves approximately 2 million patients annually from a network of 240-plus branch locations across the United States, employing roughly 6,500 team members.

Apria's service portfolio is organized around five clinical pillars: Apria Sleep Care (CPAP/BiPAP equipment, masks, and recurring PAP supplies), Apria Respiratory Care (home oxygen, non-invasive ventilation, HFCWO therapy, nebulizers, and overnight oximetry for COPD and chronic respiratory conditions), Apria Wound Care (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy equipment and supplies), Apria Pharmacy Network (homecare respiratory medications shipped directly to patients), and Diabetes Care delivered through affiliated Byram Healthcare (CGM systems, insulin pumps, and diabetes supplies). Supporting digital infrastructure includes the myApria patient web portal and mobile application (iOS and Android) for supply reordering and order tracking, the ApriaDirect cash-only e-commerce storefront, and a 24-hour automated phone ordering system. Healthcare providers submit orders through electronic prescribing platforms DMEscripts and Parachute Health, or by fax.

Commercially, Apria generates revenue primarily through recurring insurance-covered rentals and supply resupply billing, with most services paid by Medicare, Medicaid, or major commercial payors and patient responsibility limited to copays, deductibles, and coinsurance. National preferred-provider status with Elevance Health across 18-plus states, alongside contracts with Humana, CareCentrix, and the VA, anchors a diversified payor mix. The company is accredited by CHAP (Gold level), URAC, and is a 25-plus year AAHomecare member, providing regulatory and reputational moats in a market where Medicare compliance and scale-based payor contracts are decisive.
