Healthcare and Medical Stock; Comprehensive Care (OTC:CHCR) Expects $18 Million in Revenue and Profitability for Second Quarter

TAMPA, Fla. - July 27, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Healthcare stock news: Comprehensive Care Corporation (OTCBB: CHCR) reported in late June that it expects to report a profit for the second quarter of 2012, with revenues for the quarter of approximately $18 million. Revenues for the same quarter in 2011 were $18.6 million. However, during that quarter, the Company posted a loss of $4 million.

Commenting on the expected results for the quarter, Robert J. Landis, CompCare's Chief Financial Officer, stated: "The Company is particularly excited about our second quarter expected results since, if realized, it will be the first time in many years that the Company has been able to post a profit for two consecutive quarters. The improvement in results from the second quarter of 2011 to the second quarter of 2012, we believe, is primarily attributable to our Pharmacy Management Program which is now achieving traction and our cost reduction efforts to streamline our internal systems. Part of the shift in the pharmacy program occurred from our establishing Company-owned clinics in areas where we experience high patient utilization and cost. The clinics have the effect of reducing those costs and providing us with a greater opportunity to directly service the needs of the patients. Based on our best current available information, for example, the Company expects to realize a profit in its at-risk pharmacy operations in April, and this trend continues in May where preliminary numbers indicate an increase profit in the Company's at-risk pharmacy operations. While there can be no assurances that this trend will continue or that there might not be subsequent positive or negative adjustments to the April and May results, the upward trend is what we were looking for since we believe that it indicates the viability of the overall program. Other aspects of the Pharmacy Management Program are in the process of being implemented and will occur shortly."
Mr. Landis continued, "Another aspect of the Pharmacy Management Program that contributed to a successful second quarter was the signing of a Third Amendment (the "Amendment") to a material agreement with one of our existing, at-risk pharmacy clients. As a result of the Amendment, the Company received a $2.2 million, retroactive, cash adjustment to pharmacy prescriptions, which were originally charged to the Company. Additionally, the Amendment shifts the financial responsibility for a significant number of prescriptions from the Company to the client for the remainder of 2012. We expect this financial responsibility shift to further reduce the Company's pharmacy expenses throughout the year, and although there can be no guarantees that these expectations will be achieved, we expect the shift to further enhance the Company's profitability in its pharmacy operations for the remainder of 2012."
"Additionally, we were able to implement administrative, cost-saving measures that also contributed to a profitable second quarter," Mr. Landis said.
Revenue and other financial estimates contained in this press release have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's independent auditors, and accordingly they express no opinion or other form of assurance as to this information. The Company provides no assurance that these preliminary results, future expectations or assumptions will be met for the second quarter or fiscal year 2012. The Amendment addresses a number of other aspects of the Company's business with its client. A complete copy of the Amendment has been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available on its website at www.sec.gov.

Healthcare Stock To Watch: Comprehensive Care (OTCBB: CHCR)

New York, NY - July 27, 2012 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Healthcare stock spotlight at Investorideas.com: InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, releases a company snapshot for microcap Healthcare Stock, Comprehensive Care Corporation (OTCBB: CHCR). The small OTC Company recently made headlines reporting that Florida Trend magazine has ranked CompCare one of the top three big movers among publicly-traded companies in Florida.
Yesterday’s trading saw the Company trade up over 6%. The 52 week range is $ 0.10 - 0.30. The stock has just fewer than 60 Million shares outstanding and a float of just over 15 Million shares.
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."

Medical Technology Stock News Alert; PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID) Adds Chief Technology Advisor and Biodefense Expert as it Prepares for $3.1 Billion BioWatch Procurement

DELRAY BEACH, FL - July 25, 2012 - (Investorideas.com Newswire) PositiveID Corporation ("PositiveID" or “Company”) (OTCBB: PSID), an emerging growth company and developer of sophisticated airborne bio-threat detection systems for America’s homeland defense, today announced it has added Dr. Kimothy Smith as Chief Technology Advisor to the Company and its Microfluidic Systems (“MFS”) subsidiary. The Company will utilize Dr. Smith’s expertise in the areas of biosurveillance, biodefense, biosecurity, molecular genetics and diagnostics, as it prepares for the release of the final request for proposal from the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) for BioWatch Generation 3, a $3.1 billion procurement for an early warning system designed to detect the intentional release of airborne biological agents. The Company believes its M-BAND system is one of the only technologies capable of addressing the requirements of BioWatch Generation 3.

Dr. Smith has served as a Senior Advisor for International Biodefense for DHS’ Office of Health Affairs and was detailed to the U.S. State Department Office of International Health and Biodefense. Prior to this he served as the Acting Director of the National Biosurveillance Integration Center, where he set the vision and strategy of a U.S. government-wide effort to acquire, aggregate, integrate, analyze, interpret and disseminate all-source biosurveillance information from governmental and private sectors for epidemiological analyses and health protection.
Recently Dr. Smith was as a Senior Scientist for the Tahoe Research Initiative LLC, where he worked on global biosurveillance issues to build capacity and capability of public and veterinary health systems. Moreover, he was the Department of Homeland Security's first Chief Veterinarian and served as the Chief Scientist for the Office of Health Affairs. Prior to working with DHS, Dr. Smith worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNL, where he served as the Deputy Division Leader for Operations in the Counter-terrorism and Incident Response Division of the Non-proliferation, Arms Control and International Security Directorate. In this capacity Dr. Smith was responsible for maintenance and readiness of the laboratory’s nuclear response deployment and assessment teams. He earned his Ph.D. in molecular epidemiology from Louisiana State University (1999) where he curated the worldwide Bacillus anthracis collection.
William J. Caragol, Chairman and CEO of PositiveID, said, “We believe that Kimothy’s deep knowledge and experience in bioterrorism and biodefense strengthens our team as we move toward this important program.”
The Company’s M-BAND system was recently featured in a Bloomberg Businessweek article on the BioWatch procurement by DHS and can be read at:

Homeland Defense and Security Q&A Interview with PositiveID (OTCBB: PSID): How the M-BAND System Biothreat Detection is in the Running for BioWatch

New York, NY - July 23, 2012 - (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in research for independent investors presents an exclusive Q&A interview with Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PositiveID Corporation (OTCBB: PSID) discussing its M-BAND System for biothreat detection.

Q: Investorideas.com
Can you briefly explain to new investors how the M-BAND System works and how it can be deployed in the BioWatch Generation 3 program?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Our Microfluidics-based Bioagent Networked Detector, called M-BAND, was developed under contract for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and is an early warning system designed to detect the intentional release of aerosolized biological agents. It runs autonomously for up to 30 days between service cycles, continuously analyzing air samples, typically in high-traffic areas, for the detection of bacteria, viruses, and toxins with results in as little as three hours. Results from individual M-BAND instruments are reported via a secure wireless network in real time to give an accurate and up to date status for instruments in the field in aggregate. M-BAND was designed with a high level of operational flexibility, and can be remotely set to detect for DNA-based pathogens alone, with or without either RNA-based organisms or toxins, or for all three types of pathogens simultaneously at remotely programmable intervals.
Q: Investorideas.com
We understand the Department of Homeland Security wants to open bidding before October for Generation 3 of the BioWatch program, now estimated at $5.7 Billion. Where is PSID in the process?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
We are currently awaiting the final RFP from the Department of Homeland Security, which is expected to be released later this year. In the meantime, we have made significant progress in our internal testing of M-BAND, which detects five organisms on the Centers for Disease Control Select Agents List, which is a requirement for BioWatch. Our system is fully functional and, we believe, one of the only technologies capable of addressing the requirements of the BioWatch procurement. We are preparing for potential additional testing of our system as well.
Q: Investorideas.com
The other company bidding for the BioWatch program is Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC); is this competitive against your technology or more synergistic?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
We believe the M-BAND instrument offers a number of advantages over similar products, including decreased consumable and operating costs, a small footprint, a closed operating environment and significant flexibility of operation. M-BAND has been designed and field tested (both indoors and outdoors) to operate continuously for 30 days unattended between scheduled services, which we believe to be higher than competing technologies. It also operates using industry gold-standard TaqMan® PCR (polymerase chain reaction) chemistry.
Q: Investorideas.com
Your Company was recently featured in a Bloomberg Businessweek.com article discussing BioWatch; did that lend a new level of credibility for your company being a small OTC listed stock?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
We believe articles like the one published in Bloomberg Businessweek shed light on the need for BioWatch Generation 3, and also highlight and validate our technology and our company. Many people may not have been previously aware of PositiveID or M-BAND, so it was very significant for our company and technology to be featured alongside the likes of Northrop Grumman. We have already received additional inquiries and interest from large corporations around the world including for possible partnership opportunities, as well as increased investor interest.
Q: Investorideas.com
Are you targeting any other markets forthe M-BAND System globally?
A: Mr. William J. Caragol, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Unfortunately, terrorism is not limited to the United States, so M-BAND could be deployed in any location around the globe. In fact, the system has been field tested in London.
