AdaptHealth Corp. provides home-based medical equipment, supplies, and related services to patients across the United States, with a business model centered on referrals from hospitals, sleep labs, physicians, and post-acute care facilities. The company serves patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, and it operates through a nationwide network of roughly 640 locations in 48 states. Its core offering spans sleep therapy, respiratory care, diabetes devices, and broader home medical equipment used after discharge or for chronic disease management. A meaningful part of the business is recurring resupply and monthly rental reimbursement, which ties revenue to patient census, payor mix, and reimbursement rules. AdaptHealth also grows through acquisitions and integrates those businesses into its clinical, logistics, billing, and back-office platform.
