Medix Resources and Tufts Health Plan Announce Physician Connectivity Initiative Using BlackBerry Handhelds

Program is One of the Largest e-Prescribing Initiatives of its Kind in the Country

New York, NY - Medix Resources, Inc. (Amex: MXR) and Tufts Health Plan (Tufts HP) today announced an agreement to implement one of the largest e-prescribing initiatives of its kind in the country, initially giving 2,000 physicians access to MXR's PocketScript e-prescribing technology via BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds™ from Research In Motion (RIM). Tufts Health Plan has more than 18,000 physicians in its network and has continuously enhanced its e-business capabilities for providers so they can access services and do business as efficiently as possible. Medix Resources provides Internet-based healthcare communication, data integration, and transaction processing software.

Under the agreement, MXR will provide 2,000 physicians in Tufts HP's network with its premier e-prescribing technologies, which are accessed via PocketScript's wireless technology over a BlackBerry™ handheld. MXR will process the e-prescribing transactions through AdvancePCS, Tufts HP's pharmacy benefit manager and co-founder of RxHub, and RxHub, an electronic information exchange for patient medication history and health coverage. The electronic prescriptions will be faxed securely via PocketScript wireless connection to network pharmacies as selected by each member. The device will also allow physicians to access electronic physician drug reference and patient-specific drug information.

After a yearlong pilot program involving Tufts HP, AdvancePCS and PocketScript, Tufts HP determined that electronic prescribing improves patient safety and prescribing efficiency while reducing costs. The pilot project studied the effectiveness of electronic prescribing in physician practices. Participating medical group practices reported a decrease of up to 2 hours per day in total time for the office spent on prescriptions with the prescriber saving between 30 minutes and 2 hours per day and the office staff saving the remainder. The pilot also showed that calls between pharmacies and participating medical practices for formulary issues, drug interactions, and illegible prescriptions were reduced by 76 percent. Overall satisfaction ratings for the pilot averaged 4.25 for prescribers, 4.10 for office staff, and 4.67 for pharmacists, based on a 5 point scale.

"Tufts Health Plan has been a leader in the area of e-prescribing and we are committed to improving the quality and safety of our members' care," stated Philip Boulter, chief medical officer of Tufts Health Plan. "Our pilot program demonstrated that e-prescribing accomplishes both of these goals while reducing costs and we are pleased to launch a permanent solution that will provide the opportunity for MXR to introduce its leading-edge technologies to our physicians," concluded Boulter.

"Our experience in the e-prescribing pilot was fantastic and we saw a big improvement in the efficiency of writing prescriptions," said Thomas Murray, M.D. of Women's Health, Inc. in Salem, MA, who participated in the Tufts Health Plan pilot. "E-prescribing allowed me to have prescription information at my fingertips and it significantly reduced the amount of time that my staff had to spend on prescription and pharmacy-related issues. I am anxious for the day when e-prescribing becomes standard practice across the country."

"The PocketScript application running on the secure BlackBerry platform can help physicians improve their own productivity while enhancing their service to patients," said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. "We are very pleased to work with Medix Resources on this important initiative. It marks significant progress for both the healthcare industry and the wireless industry," concluded Lazaridis.

"The opportunity to provide Tufts Health Plan's 18,000 physicians with our e-prescribing and other physician-driven technologies is unprecedented in the healthcare connectivity marketplace," stated Darryl Cohen, MXR CEO and President. "We are committed to empowering physicians at the point of care with technologies that enable them to better serve their patients. Over time, we anticipate that these technologies and additional applications will become physician practice staples," concluded Cohen.
