Investorideas.com Newswire What the analysts say:
Research from SmallCaps.Us and Breakdown and Highlights on CHCR
"Comprehensive Care Corporation (CompCare) provides managed care services in the behavioral health, substance abuse, and psychotropic pharmacy management fields to Medicare, Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Programs and other commercial health plans.

Regional health plans, which typically don't have their own behavioral health network, will often contract with a Managed Behavioral Healthcare Organization (MBHO) like CompCare, to obtain access to behavioral healthcare professionals, claims processing, case management, better-integrated behavioral healthcare, and psychotropic pharmacy management services.
Although Comprehensive Care was established in 1969, its attractiveness today is an in-progress turnaround that started in 2009 when the current management team took a controlling position in the Company.
The first thing the new management did was get rid of money-loosing contracts. As a result, revenues dropped from over $35 million in 2008 to approximately $14 million in 2009. Next, management members invested approximately $20 to restructure the Company.
They revamped the IT infrastructure and transitioned the Company from processing claims manually, to processing them electronically at a much lower cost. They streamlined operations and expanded their service provider network from 10,000 healthcare participants in 25 states to 35,000 healthcare participants in 46 states, Puerto Rico and theDistrict of Columbia.
All these efforts beared fruit, as revenues quintupled to $71 million in fiscal year 2011, up from $14 million in 2009.
In 2012, the Company is focusing on digesting all its revenue growth and returning to profitability. So far it has been very successful in doing so. In the first quarter of 2012, earnings almost doubled to $80,000, compared with $41,000 in the same period last year. And for the second quarter, which ended a few days ago, the management expects to be profitable whereas it posted a loss of almost $4 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Moreover, because the behavioral healthcare services industry is very price competitive, the Company sought and found a way to get into the higher margin commercial pharmaceuticals delivery market. CompCare contracts with PBMs to obtain the lowest possible prices for both branded and generic drugs, which results in significant cost savings for CompCare's clients."
