RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA--(Marketwired - January 06, 2017) - Proto Script Pharmaceutical Corp. dba PSP Homecare ("PSP" or the "Company") (OTC PINK: PSCR), a durable medical equipment provider, today provided a detailed summary of its current contract with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), previously known as the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), is a federal agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that administers the Medicare program and works in partnership with state governments to administer Medicaid, the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), and health insurance portability standards.

On April 28, 2016, Proto Script Pharmaceutical Corp. was awarded a multi-year CMS contract authorizing the Company to furnish certain items under the Medicare Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program (the "Contract").

Under terms of the Contract, Proto Script Pharmaceutical Corp. is authorized and required to provide specified items in certain Product Categories within specific Competitive Bidding Areas (CBAs) and submit claims to Medicare for reimbursement. The Contract period began July 1, 2016, and is scheduled to end on December 31, 2018.

The PSP Homecare competitively bid items fall into two product categories; 1) Standard Mobility Equipment and Related Accessories, including power operated vehicles (scooters), walkers, wheelchairs (powered and manual), and wheelchair accessories and seating; 2) General Home Equipment and Related Supplies and Accessories, including hospital beds (semi-electric and manual) and accessories, patient lifts, seat lift mechanisms, support surfaces (Group 1 and 2), and commodes, urinals, and bedpans.

PSP Homecare is authorized by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to provide the competitively bid items in the following Competitive Bidding Areas, encompassing a total population of approx. 32.4 million people (United States Census Bureau):

1) Bakersfield, California
2) Fresno, California
3) Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise, Nevada

Michelle Rico, CEO and President of PSP, remarked, "Our multi-year contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services enables most of our customers to access high-quality mobility equipment including wheelchairs, power chairs, scooters, and power beds completely through Medicare insurance. The CMS contract also places us on a short list of authorized Medicare approved suppliers in our Competitive Bid Areas. These combined benefits give PSP Homecare a strong foothold in California and Nevada, two of the largest and fastest growing mobility products markets in the country."

"We anticipate building our existing business within these current competitive bid areas and look forward expanding into new markets supported by a comprehensive marketing program in the near future."
