ProblemOxygen and CPAP suppliers still lose days chasing missing written orders, face-to-face notes, and payer artifacts before a setup can ship. CMS pushed 8 oxygen-related codes onto the required F2F/WOPD list in 2026, which made an old fax problem more expensive.
SolutionRespireDesk DME is a read-only exception desk that ingests orders, PDFs, and portal exports, then tells staff which respiratory orders are truly ship-ready and which are blocked by missing F2F timing, unsigned WOPD, policy mismatch, or payer-specific evidence gaps.
Market opportunityPrecedence Research puts home medical equipment at $29.74B in 2026 growing to $50.82B by 2035, while Grand View Research pegs U.S. DME at $70.66B in 2025. Vendors already sell core systems, but the pre-delivery cleanup layer is still manual and narrow enough for a solo founder.
