Accendra Health

What Accendra Health does

Accendra Health is a publicly traded (NYSE: ACH), U.S.-focused home-based care provider headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia. The company was formed on December 31, 2025 through the divestiture of Owens & Minor's Products & Healthcare Services segment to Platinum Equity for $375 million in cash, with the remaining public parent rebranding as Accendra Health, Inc. Accendra Health delivers durable medical equipment (DME) supplies, in-home clinical support, and patient-education services to patients with chronic, complex, and acute conditions. Operations are conducted through two wholly owned brands: Apria, which provides DME and clinical support for sleep apnea, respiratory care, and negative pressure wound therapy; and Byram Healthcare, which provides DME supplies and education for diabetes, urology, ostomy, wound care, incontinence, and breast pumps. The company serves more than 3 million patients annually through a nationwide network of 250+ service locations, with payer/insurance relationships covering approximately 85% of the insured U.S. population and overall reach to more than 90% of the U.S. patient population.

The underlying technology is a home-based care delivery platform that supports DME fulfillment, recurring supply replenishment, in-home clinical scheduling, and coordination across patients, prescribers, and insurance payers. The platform does not have a public API, developer portal, or disclosed AI/ML features; the primary technical differentiator is the logistics and clinical-support network rather than a software product. Pricing is not publicly disclosed — services are reimbursed through payer/insurance contracts under a managed-services revenue model. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales plus direct-to-patient distribution through the Apria and Byram service locations, supported by brand websites, LinkedIn/X corporate presence, and a dedicated newsroom. Revenue for full-year 2025 was approximately $2.8 billion (+3% year-over-year), Q1 2026 revenue was $628 million, and management has guided 2026 revenue to $2.55–$2.65 billion. The company employs more than 6,000 teammates and is led by President & CEO Edward Pesicka.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• ResMed: ResMed is a global leader in sleep apnea and respiratory care equipment manufacturing (CPAP, BiPAP, masks). While primarily a manufacturer rather than a DME provider, it is a key supplier/partner to Accendra's Apria sleep therapy business and a benchmark for sleep category economics.
• Amedisys: Amedisys is one of the largest U.S. home health and hospice providers, serving patients with chronic and post-acute conditions in the home setting. While more clinically focused than Accendra, it competes for the same chronically ill, home-bound patient population.
• Philips Respironics: Philips' Sleep & Respiratory Care business is a major manufacturer of CPAP, BiPAP, oxygen, and ventilation equipment. It competes with ResMed as a core supplier to the DME channel that Accendra operates in.

Emerging players

• Encompass Health: Encompass Health operates inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and is expanding into home health and hospice. Its home-health expansion overlaps with Accendra's patient population and care setting, particularly post-acute and chronic-condition patients.

Direct peers

• Lincare Holdings: Lincare is a leading U.S. provider of respiratory therapy services and home medical equipment, with a particular strength in oxygen therapy, sleep therapy, and nebulized medications. It directly competes with Accendra's Apria brand in respiratory and sleep DME.
• AdaptHealth: AdaptHealth is one of the largest U.S. providers of home medical equipment, sleep products, and diabetes supplies, serving patients nationwide through insurance and payer contracts. It is the closest publicly traded pure-play comparable to Accendra Health in DME distribution and home-based care delivery.
• Rotech Healthcare: Rotech is a national provider of home medical equipment and respiratory products, including oxygen, ventilators, sleep therapy, and nebulizers. It directly competes with Accendra's Apria brand in core respiratory DME categories.
• Option Care Health: Option Care Health is the largest independent provider of home and alternate-site infusion services in the U.S. It shares Accendra's home-based care delivery model, payer-contracted revenue model, and chronic-condition patient focus.

Others

• Apria Healthcare (pre-merger standalone reference): Now a wholly-owned sub-brand of Accendra Health, Apria was previously an independent public DME company. It serves as a useful historical benchmark and is cited here only because the standalone entity no longer exists as a peer.
