Cardinal Health At-home

What Cardinal Health At-home does

Cardinal Health at-Home is a U.S.-based B2B medical supplies distribution business unit of Cardinal Health Inc. (NYSE: CAH), a Fortune 500 healthcare services and products company. The division distributes home healthcare supplies to registered healthcare providers, nurses, and hospice care facilities across the United States through NurseOrders.com, an account-gated e-commerce platform. Its product catalog spans wound care, urological, ostomy, incontinence, PPE, gloves, respiratory, diabetes, CPAP, enteral, and infusion supplies — covering the routine consumable needs of home-based patient care and hospice services. Customers must request account setup to view pricing and place orders, indicating a B2B distribution model rather than direct-to-consumer sales.

The core product is the NurseOrders.com ordering platform, a proprietary e-commerce storefront organized by clinical product line and supplemented by password reset, demo video, and contact request modules. A native mobile application (Cardinal Health at-Home HHA) extends ordering to smartphones and Android for field-based clinicians, and the platform is supported by phone-based sales (1-866-991-9944, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST Monday–Friday) and email channels. Accessibility features include TRS support via 711 for hearing-impaired customers and a formal digital inclusion commitment. No public APIs, SDKs, or third-party developer integrations are documented.

Cardinal Health at-Home operates an account-based B2B distribution model in which pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through one-time purchase transactions for medical supplies, with the platform serving as the digital procurement front-end for Cardinal Health's broader healthcare distribution supply chain. The division is headquartered in Twinsburg, Ohio, and benefits from the parent company's enterprise-wide distribution infrastructure, brand recognition in healthcare, and supply chain scale. No standalone revenue, funding history, or segment-level headcount is disclosed for the at-Home business; the unit is operated as a strategic business unit within Cardinal Health's Medical segment rather than as a separately reported subsidiary.
