Dear Fellow Board Members:

Following up on my letter of February 25, 2001, pursuant to which I notified you
that the actions of management of WebMD Corporation with respect to Quintiles
Transnational Corp. and other parties with whom WebMD has contractual
obligations raises in my mind as a director of WebMD questions whether WebMD's
interests are being appropriately served, I am writing to request that the Board
convene as soon as possible and appoint a committee of independent directors to
review management's actions with respect to Quintiles and other parties with
whom WebMD is contractually obligated. I also request that Quintiles
representatives whom I may specify be permitted to address the special committee
to advise it of concerns.

Sincerely,

/s/ Dennis B. Gillings

Dennis B. Gillings, Ph.D.
