Inc. (Agadia) of New Jersey, noted
for its ability to improve the quality of care and expedite prior

Corporation (CompCare) of Tampa,
Florida (OTC BB: CHCR) announced today the signing of an
agreement for Agadia to provide its services to CompCare de
Puerto Rico, a subsidiary of
CompCare.
Agadia offers a web-based software solution, PAHub™, that
simplifies and streamlines the prior authorization management of
prescription drugs, medical services and durable medical equipment
processes. CompCare provides behavioral health and at-risk
psychotropic pharmacy management services for managed care
companies and has elected to use PAHub™ to automate its pharmacy
utilization management processes in Puerto Rico.
CompCare de Puerto Rico's
Medical Director Cecilia Pardo said,
"PAHub™ will be beneficial in several key areas of our
Pharmacy Management Program. We will be able to accommodate, with
less staff, a greater volume of prior authorization requests,
increase our processing speed, and optimize our clinical decision
making processes. All of this translates to improved patient
care, cost-effectiveness and higher margins. We chose
PAHub™ because it offers the best solution across the
board to not only meet our recently launched at-risk Pharmacy
Management Program needs, but also to enhance our wellness-based
initiatives that aim to maximize the overall health of our members
and lower prescription drug costs by eliminating wasteful gaps and
overlaps in care."
"We are excited to add CompCare de Puerto Rico to our portfolio of customers. Our
commitment to quality, innovation and our customers differentiates
us in the market place. PAHub™ provides our customers
