these  transactions,  Mr.  Hyman  joined  WebMD as Vice  President  of  Information
Technology,  where he played a key role in WebMD's  integration  efforts as well as
initiatives to improve the Company's  profitability.  He graduated  Summa Cum Laude
from St. John's University where he earned a B.S. degree in Computer Science.

to join Medix as a  permanent  member of our  executive  team.  Since  joining  our
Company in March,  Mr. Hyman has  demonstrated  exceptional  skills and  managerial
expertise in leading our  technology  and product  application  development  teams.
He  joins  Medix  with  an  impressive   portfolio  of  skills,   particularly   in
engineering  software  products for  physicians  and payors.  We have no doubt that
his  expertise  will be  recognized  by our customers and will further our position
as a technology leader in the healthcare connectivity industry."

      Mr. Hyman  stated,  "The eHealth  industry is  undergoing  rapid change which
presents  significant  opportunities  for  companies in this sector.  From my brief
time with Medix,  I am  impressed  with the  Company's  products,  technology,  and
capabilities,  which  position it well to  capitalize  on these  opportunities  and
fulfill  its  mission  of  building   collaborative,   connectivity   services  for
physicians  and  payors.  We  share  many  of the  same  visions  for  the  role of
technology  in general,  and Medix  solutions in  particular.  Having  designed and
built healthcare systems in my previous professional  associations,  I look forward
to making a strong contribution to the Medix mission."
