Overview

MPA-Diabetic.com is a division of Medical Purchasing Alliance, LLC (MPA). For the past six years, MPA has been an established buying group for independent retail pharmacies offering pharmaceutical contracts from over forty generic manufacturers. Additionally, MPA offers its contracts to close shop pharmacies and diabetic mail order companies.

MPA-Diabetic.com's inception was due to a new and revolutionary generic glucose meter called the Advocate. The Advocate diabetic line of products along with Asian manufacturers who will provide the ancillary products i.e. needles, syringes, pen-needles and lancets, have created the need for a new business model that will meet the needs of wholesalers, durable medical equipment outlets and managed care organizations. On-line purchasing capabilities with product knowledge and education will be readily available to these customers.

MPA developed this model to meet the growing need for cost effective diabetic glucose meters and medical related products as this nation faces epidemic proportions of the disease. The products that MPA-Diabetic.com offers are as follows:

• Talking and non-talking glucose meters - we offer generic meters and exclusive testing strips
• A full line of syringes, pen needles and lancets
• Wound care products
• Compression products
• Blood pressure monitors
• Foot products including lotions, creams as well as skin care products
• Soft goods
• Diabetic test kits
• Diabetic vitamins
• Wheelchair cushions

Management

Since our inception we have concentrated on being specific and focused on a "Disease State Management" approach to our markets. MPA has continued this strategy successfully for the past six years. As generic products become more acceptable we continue to search for highly competitive products that maintain a standard of high quality. This is imperative knowing that market pressure will continue to drive prices down. The team at MPA strongly believes that reliable high quality generics are just as effective as any branded product on the market today.

The management team at MPA is made up of seasoned professionals with many years of experience in healthcare purchasing and acquisition of specialized products. We will continue to seek new product lines as well as individual products that fit our strategic direction and hopefully will provide the same cost effectiveness and quality that has been our mission in the past.
