COMPREHENSIVE CARE CORPORATION REPORTS

THIRD QUARTER 2010 RESULTS

TAMPA, Florida: November 15, 2010: Comprehensive Care Corporation (“CompCare” or the “Company”) (OTCBB: CHCR) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $7.9 million compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The 121% increase in revenue was primarily attributable to several new contracts the Company signed earlier in the year. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was ($3.7) million, or ($0.07) per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of ($2.6) million, or ($0.06) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $17.3 million, an increase of 66%, compared to $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of ($8.6) million, or ($0.20) per basic and diluted share, compared to ($13.9) million, or ($0.47) per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Clark A. Marcus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CompCare, stated, “We are excited by the building momentum in our business as we implement multiple new contracts covering members located in several states and Puerto Rico. Most recently, we announced a two-year contract with two affiliated Medicare Advantage health plans serving approximately 185,000 members in Puerto Rico. As a result of this contract, we have increased the number of members currently being covered by our services to more than 1.1 million from approximately 750,000 members at the beginning of the year.”

“The scale that we are building in our business is an important factor that we expect to promote future growth, as we believe it strategically positions us to competitively bid on selling our services to even larger managed health care programs. In addition, we are focused on establishing a broader sales team and building our provider networks in new and existing states and in Puerto Rico. We believe that each of these activities will help us compete for more contracts and promote future growth in the coming year,” concluded Mr. Marcus.
