Company Profile
Home Test Medical brings consumers new home test diagnostic information and products as
well as insurance reimbursement assistance, training, ongoing support and supply.
We also interface directly with your doctor/nurse to produce product awareness, obtain a
prescription, if required, and inform your physicians office staff about the tests you are
using to enhance their support of your efforts.
The company was incorporated in March of 1997 to coincide with the FDA approval for patient
self-testing of our first product, the ProTime Microcoagulation System. We supply this
product and it's disposable Cuvettes to individuals and clinics all across the United States.
We have been adding many new products to our offering based upon the needs and research
requests brought to us by people who want greater participation in their own health care.
Our second featured product was the DuetT Glucose Control System which has recently been
redesigned to better fit the needs of consumers. This is the first new home test to be
introduced in many years for the more than fourteen million diabetics in the United States.
This newly FDA approved instrument performs two tests. One is "the worlds fastest glucose
test" (eight seconds!). The new test performed by DuetT is called GlucoProteinT. This test
measures the effectiveness of your diabetes management over a two to three week period.
We provide free insurance coverage assistance for patients purchasing these and other eligible
products from us.
