Comprehensive Care Corporation Celebrates 43rd Anniversary

TAMPA, Fla., March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/-- Comprehensive Care Corporation (OTCBB: CHCR), a leading behavioral health, substance abuse and psychotropic pharmacy management services provider for managed care companies throughout the U.S., is pleased to announce that it recently celebrated its 43rd anniversary as a Company.  "We are extremely proud of this accomplishment and believe that the Company is uniquely positioned for yet another growth spurt, driven by its strong board of directors; top level management team and a newly designed wellness program aimed at providing quality healthcare at affordable cost. In addition, as a response to the spiraling costs of healthcare, and prescription drugs in particular, the Company has recently  introduced an innovative, 'at-risk' pharmacy management program designed to provide our clients with a fixed cost for prescription drugs – a program relatively unheard of in the healthcare industry," said Clark A. Marcus, Chairman and CEO.

Under the direction of Clark A. Marcus, the Company has expanded its healthcare profile to more completely encompass "wellness" and at-risk pharmacy as priority products and a growing source of revenue.  The Company has developed an outstanding specialty behavioral health provider network, nationwide; increased the number of states served by CompCare from 11 to 42; increased the number of patient members covered under the Company's programs to approximately one million; and, increased the top-line revenue stream from approximately $14 million in contracted revenue in January 2010 to over $70 million through December 2011.  The Company has also increased its provider population from approximately 10,000 to 35,000.  All of this having been accomplished in under a three-year period positions the Company for even further growth during the next three-year period.
