Re:  Coram / 34251865
     Pre-Filled Syringe & Rocephin Tier Pricing

Dear Mr. Geiger:

Your Medication Delivery (formally known as I.V. Systems) Purchase Agreement
with Baxter Healthcare Corporation indicates a Pre-Filled Syringe and Rocephin
price tier change on each November 1 and May 1.

Your Purchase Agreement states that Baxter shall review Coram's purchases of
flush syringes and frozen drug products every October 1 and April 1 of each
year. Based upon Coram's purchases during the six-month period, Coram's pricing
shall be adjusted to the applicable tier for purchases during the next period to
become effective on November 1 and May 1.

The Pre-Filled Syringe Tier shall remain at the initial pricing of Tier 2 per
the directive of Rose Lorella, ACT National Accounts Director, due to the
back-order situation that occurred in the preceding six-month period.

Based upon the total frozen sales for period April 1, 2001 through September 30,
2001 of Coram is now eligible for Rocephin Tier 1 pricing, committed volume of
in sales. Rocephin Tier 1 pricing shall become effective November 1, 2001.

Should you have any questions regarding this agreement, please contact Rose
Lorella, ACT National Accounts Director at (800) 285-3536 ext. 7597.

Sincerely,

/s/ HEATHER A. MARCELAIN
