In conjunction with American Diabetes Alert Day, Home Care Delivered
reinforces the benefits of their home-delivery supply program designed to help
patients with diabetes better manage their condition from home.

RICHMOND, Va., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Home Care Delivered, Inc., a leading
mail-order provider of diabetes testing supplies, joins the American Diabetes
Association (ADA) to "sound the alert" on Tuesday, March 24th for the 21st
annual American Diabetes Alert Day. American Diabetes Alert Day is held to
raise awareness about the seriousness of diabetes and its exponential growth
across America. 

According to the ADA, diabetes affects 23.6 million children and adults in the
United States, and nearly one-quarter of that population does not know they
have diabetes. Today one in five Americans is at risk for developing type 2
diabetes; however, early diagnosis and treatment can delay or prevent serious
complications including blindness, amputations, heart disease and kidney
failure.

"At Home Care Delivered, we follow up with our patients regularly to make sure
they have the supplies they need and reinforce the importance of regular blood
glucose testing," said Director of Clinical Resources Terri Decker, RN, CWOCN.
"Through supporting our patients in diabetes management, we hope to help them
avoid the serious and sometimes deadly complications associated with type 2
diabetes." 

Home Care Delivered's personalized follow-up program reinforces proper
diabetes management by ensuring patients have the supplies they need to remain
compliant with their physician's prescribed plan of care. Through its
proprietary PayerPro management system, the company offers billing and claims
filing services for Medicare, Medicaid and other insurance plans. Home Care
Delivered's Nurse-On-Call program is another value-added service that provides
access to a registered nurse for product support.
