Company Profile
Patient Home Monitoring, Inc. (PHM) provides in-home diagnostic testing and monitoring services to patients and their referring physicians. PHM is currently focused on the four million chronically ill US patients taking blood thinners, such as Coumadin or warfarin that require frequent testing of their blood coagulation levels to ensure safe and effective treatment. In 2009 Medicare decided to pay for in-home diagnostic services to monitor blood coagulation levels for a large percentage of patients taking blood thinners such as Coumadin, where patients previously had to travel to a laboratory for this service and were reimbursed only through private healthcare. Currently, fewer than 100,000 of the four million patients have been enrolled in this new type of service and PHM expects millions of patients will choose the in-home option over the next several years because of improved safety and convenience.
At its core, PHM is a logistics and information company. Medicare or a private health insurance company pays PHM to supply the patient a testing meter and finger prick testing strips. PHM uses a state-of-the-art logistics and patient tracking system to monitor patients and inform cardiologists of their in-home testing results. PHM's competitive advantage is the systematic approach toward enrolling patients managed by large cardiology groups and is the only company in the market focused on approaching these large doctor groups to systematically enroll their patients, instead of approaching the patients directly. These major groups historically have thousands of chronic patients under management, providing PHM with a large patient population in each group.
PHM is listed and in the process of changing its name from International Health Partners to Patient Home Monitoring, Inc (TSX-V:DOC).
