HOUSTON, Sept. 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Complete Care Medical, Inc., (Pink Sheets:CCMI), is expecting a large amount of spillover business from the joint marketing effort between BioTex, Inc. and Diabetes Gold, Inc., to be directed to CarePharm, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CCMI. The Diabetes Gold-BioTex marketing initiative is expected to establish 250 small independent diabetes providers by eliminating the financial barriers of entry and providing a suite of free support services to them.
According to J.P. Monteverde, CEO of CCMI, CarePharm has been selected as fulfillment agent and will ship diabetes supplies directly to the patient's homes for each of the independent diabetes providers that are established through the marketing program. "But even more important then the fulfillment business, is the great opportunity for CarePharm to enroll these same diabetes patients as mail order pharmacy patients," he said. Nearly 60% of all diabetes patients are on maintenance prescription medication and each spends, on average, more than $3,000 annually on drugs.
Through its subsidiaries, Complete Care Medical, Inc., provides patients in all 50 states with lower cost alternatives for disease management, medical supplies and prescription pharmaceuticals. In addition, Complete Care Medical's discount services and medication program offers healthcare payers, healthcare providers, healthcare professionals and patients with easy access to utilization and compliance data in order to improve patient outcomes and improve quality of life.
