CMPD Common Stock (PK)

CompuMed, Inc. (OTCBB: CMPD) (www.compumed.net) -- a leader in telemedicine services for patient diagnosis and management -- today announced that it has signed statewide contracts in conjunction with Wexford Health Sources, Inc. CompuMed will provide CardioGram™ electrocardiogram (ECG) remote interpretation systems and cardiologist over-read services to all state-operated locations within the Arizona Department of Corrections and Maryland Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services. Under terms of both the contracts, CompuMed's CardioGram systems will be used to perform telemedicine enabled remote cardiac screening for detainees at the states' correctional facilities.

"We value our association with Wexford Health as the company delivers high quality care to its correctional customers," said Maurizio Vecchione, CompuMed's CEO. CompuMed is a preferred value-added partner of Wexford Health. Based in Pittsburgh, Wexford Health provides comprehensive healthcare services for correctional system clients nationwide.

"More and more states are considering privatizing their prison healthcare to private correctional managed care companies," said Eric Larsen, CompuMed's Vice President and General Manager." He continued, "Since these types of companies specialize in providing great care at a better price, they validate CompuMed's value proposition of lowered costs and high quality care through telemedicine."

CompuMed has had the correctional ECG contract with the state of Arizona for more than a decade but the state recently decided to privatize their prison healthcare. Wexford Health won that bid and contracted with CompuMed to continue and expand its services in Arizona. CompuMed also had the ECG contract for the correctional facilities in Maryland for many years through another partner but the state recently decided to change their prison healthcare provider. Wexford Health also won that bid and contracted with CompuMed to continue priding ECG services in the Maryland DPSCS facilities.

CompuMed's traditional core business is providing telemedicine services such as remote ECG interpretation services to medical facilities that may not have access to trained physicians qualified to interpret ECG results. Customers for the Company's CardioGram system are typically correctional facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, occupational health clinics, rural health care providers and physicians' offices. The system reduces healthcare costs significantly by providing remote cardiac screening at the point-of-care.
