What RespMed does

RespMed HomeCare Unlimited Inc. is a privately held, locally owned home medical equipment and respiratory therapy provider headquartered in El Paso, Texas, founded in 1995 by a nurse. The company serves patients across El Paso County and accepts referrals from major Texas cities, with a workforce of 28 employees. Its core business is delivering durable medical equipment (CPAP machines, nebulizers, hospital beds, wheelchairs, patient lifts), home ventilators (including Trilogy equipment), complex rehabilitation technology (custom wheelchairs, bath chairs, pressure relief cushions, power assist devices, home accessibility assessments), and enteral nutrition products, supplemented by clinical respiratory services such as oxygen therapy, sleep apnea treatment, and pulmonary rehabilitation. RespMed also operates the only pediatric Sleep Apnea Monitor Program in El Paso and is described as unique in Texas for accepting complex pediatric patients, making it the largest Medicaid invasive ventilator provider in the region.

The company generates revenue through a mix of equipment sales and rentals, professional respiratory therapy services, and reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and most major insurance plans, with 24-hour emergency delivery and setup services supporting patient care. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and referral-driven, leveraging a single physical location at 9801 Carnegie Avenue, a phone-based customer support line, an online catalog, and a bill-pay portal, with healthcare-provider referrals as a key demand channel. RespMed differentiates on the basis of dual JCAHO and HQAA accreditation, DMERT-certified assistive technology professionals, a nurse-founder clinical culture, and pediatric complex-care specialization, and it is a founding member of TexMEP and member of AAHomecare and VGM, anchoring it within the Texas and national DME advocacy ecosystem.

• Owens & Minor: Parent of Apria Healthcare and broader medical products distributor. Functions as a broad incumbent in home respiratory and DME with deep payer relationships relative to RespMed.
• Encompass Health: Major post-acute and home health provider. Broader incumbent that competes for hospital discharge referrals and value-based contracts overlapping with RespMed's home respiratory/CRT referrals.
