NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY:

IntegraMed America, Inc. (the “Company”) is a specialty healthcare services company offering products and services to patients and providers in the fertility, through our Attain Fertility Centers Division, and vein care, through our Vein Clinics Division, segments of the healthcare industry.

Our Attain Fertility Centers Division provides a number of services to fertility centers across the United States.  These services include business and management services to a network of 15 contracted fertility centers in our Partner Program, and our Attain IVF products to both our 14 contracted fertility centers and an additional 24 affiliate fertility centers.  Our Partner and Affiliate fertility centers offer a range of diagnostic and fertility treatment options to patients. The fertility centers’ physicians perform diagnostic tests on both women and men to determine the cause of infertility and each fertility center has an endocrine and andrology laboratory on site in order to perform and expedite infertility analyses. Once the cause of infertility is identified, several treatment options are offered to patients, including IVF treatment, frozen embryo transfer, intrauterine insemination and minimally invasive surgery to correct anatomical reproductive problems.

Our Vein Clinic Division, which began operations in August, 2007,  is currently comprised of 45 (41 as of December 31, 2010) vein clinics in major markets, which primarily provide advanced treatment for vein diseases. We offer a comprehensive array of defined business services to these clinics which are designed to support their operations and growth.
