April 5, 2005--GenoMed Inc.-- ("the Company" or "GenoMed") (National Quotation Bureau's Pink Sheets Symbol: GMED) a St. Louis, Missouri-based Next Generation Disease Management company, announced that its Chairman and CEO, Dr. David Moskowitz, has been invited to speak today at The 1st Annual World Congress Leadership Summit on Disease Management and Chronic Care.
This conference, held outside Washington, DC (http://www.worldcongress.com/wcls/ccd/index.cfm) presents the nation's best practices and thought leaders in implementing successful disease management programs that produce positive clinical and financial outcomes. The conference agenda was designed to address the market demands from employers and public purchasers as well as the leading edge programs offered by health care insurers and providers. The agenda highlights legislative trends that impact the adoption and scope of disease management programs including updates from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare (CMS) on its Chronic Care Improvement Program.
Said Dr. Moskowitz, GenoMed's CEO and Chief Medical Officer, "We've been invited to this inaugural conference because our business model consists of using genomics to improve public health, and we've been uniquely successful at it so far for diabetes, hypertension, and emphysema, which together affect over 85 million Americans."
Continued Dr. Moskowitz, "GenoMed's business model is ideal for today's political climate. It is tailor-made for Health Savings Accounts (HSA's) and Consumer-Directed Health Care (CDHC). In addition to educating health plans about its Next Generation DM(tm) services, GenoMed is also encouraging patients who control their own Health Savings Account or who can afford $67 a month out-of-pocket to sign up themselves for GenoMed's services."
