Company Overview
Highlights
Serves more than a million patients annually.
Nearly 40 percent of Apria's revenues are generated through Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements.
Apria Healthcare provides home medical care, with special services that emphasize home respiratory therapy, home infusion therapy, and home medical equipment. The Southern California-based company operates around 500 branch offices nationwide. Apria’s respiratory therapy products, which include ventilators, oxygenating equipment, and medications that aid breathing or are administered via aerosol, generate about two-thirds of the company’s revenue. Apria’s infusion therapy provides intravenous drugs, nutrition, or chemotherapy for patients needing at-home medical care. The company looks for continued expansion (it acquired around 50 businesses in 2004–05), and is actively seeking smaller regional homecare providers to acquire.
