INDIANAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Arcadia Resources, Inc. (AMEX: KAD), which provides innovative
consumer health care services under the trade name Arcadia
HealthCare(SM), today announced the Company has started filling
DailyMed(TM) prescriptions through the Care Select program to Indiana
Medicaid members.

   Over the past several months, the Company has worked closely with
the State of Indiana on a DailyMed(TM) pilot with the State's newly
created Care Select program. The Care Select program allows
approximately 70,000 Medicaid recipients with serious mental illness,
developmental disabilities and chronic diseases to receive assistance
in coordinating personalized health care. Care Select clients receive
individual attention to help them manage their healthcare challenges.
The program provides individuals with coaching, education and care
management services, such as DailyMed(TM), to help them not only deal
with their health needs, but lead healthier, more productive lives.

   "Our DailyMed(TM) team has worked closely with the Indiana Family
and Social Services Administration (FSSA) as well as Advantage Health
Solutions and MDWise, Inc., the two Care Management Organizations
(CMOs) selected by FSSA to oversee the Care Select program, in
developing the protocols for the DailyMed pilot. The initial roll out
phase and the early adoption of the DailyMed(TM) program within Care
Select are consistent with our estimates, and we are very excited to
now offer DailyMed(TM) to the Care Select members with the greatest
need for pharmaceutical care and oversight. Once adopted, DailyMed(TM)
will provide the opportunity to improve pharmaceutical care as well as
to begin reducing healthcare costs for the State of Indiana," said
Marvin R. Richardson, president and CEO of Arcadia.

   The Care Select population costs the State of Indiana $14,000 a
year per member. By increasing the quality of life of these Medicaid
recipients with programs such as DailyMed(TM), the State will reap the
long-term benefits of a reduced cost trajectory in Medicaid expenses.

   "Our clients will experience increased quality of life through
better control and management of their illnesses, and by spending
resources more effectively the Indiana taxpayer will realize
significantly more value. An emphasis on coordination and improved
primary care delivery will lead to better medication adherence and
compliance and decreases in unnecessary emergency room usage,
hospitalizations, and institutional placement," commented Mitch Roob,
Secretary of FSSA.
