Altoona, PA – January 25, 2010 – INRange Systems, Inc. (www.inrangesystems.com) announced today that TRICARE, the US Military Health Insurance System, has approved the reimbursement of their FDA-cleared Remote Medication Management System for active duty servicemen as Durable Medical Equipment (DME).

“Obtaining reimbursement through TRICARE as DME equipment is a tremendous statement about the benefit our product provides to our Wounded Warriors.” said Chris Bossi, President of INRange. “We value the responsibility the US Military has placed in our Company to help the service men and women who have made extreme sacrifices in the defense of our country.”

INRange’s Electronic Medication Management System, which has affectionately become known as EMMA® to patients, is the first, and only, FDA-cleared medical device for remotely managing patient medications. The US Army Medical Command has been piloting the use of EMMA® for the treatment of soldiers suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and High Risk Behavioral Health issues.

EMMA® is a combination of hardware and software that provides hospital-style medication management in a patient’s residence. EMMA® consists of a Medication Delivery Unit, cellular two-way communication software and a disposable medication package.

When it is time for patients to take their medications, the EMMA® Unit emits audio and visual alerts. When the patient touches the screen, medications are selected from Medication Administration Cartridges and released into a delivery tray. No programming is required by the patient and non-adherence alerts can be automatically sent to the patient and their caregivers via the phone or email. EMMA® manages both the patient’s regularly scheduled medications as well as their PRNs (as needed medications), such are narcotics.

EMMA® is delivered by INRange as a turn key in-home solution for medication management. To start up EMMA®, all that is required is a cellular connection and a local or mail order pharmacy to package the medications.

INRange processed its first TRICARE patient in January of 2010 and is approved to process claims as a DME provider through all three TRICARE carriers including: Health Net Federal Services, Humana Military Healthcare Services, and TriWest Healthcare Alliance. For active duty military personnel, there is no co-pay for the purchase of DME equipment or the associated supplies.
