Item 7.    Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a)      Exhibits

         99.1     Press Release of the Registrant dated November 14, 2000.

Item 9.    Regulation FD Disclosure.

         On November 14, 2000, the Registrant issued a press release, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, concerning its results of operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

         In addition, pursuant to Regulation FD, the Registrant furnishes the
following additional information:

o    Total transactions processed by the Registrant in the third quarter of 2000
     increased 120% to 1,489,000, another record, as compared with 676,000 in
     the third quarter of 1999. About half of the incremental business was
     driven by a 65% increase in claims processed. The remainder was primarily
     composed of patient statements, of which the Registrant processed 380,000,
     as compared with a negligible number a year ago.

o    The average revenue per transaction in the third quarter 2000 rose by 138%
     to $0.19 vs. $0.08 a year ago. This represents the positive impact of the
     Company's price increases and of the Registrant's volume-sensitive revenue
     sharing arrangements for fees derived from payers. It also reflects the
     Registrant's switch to iMcKesson from Envoy late in the second quarter for
     clearing many of its claims. Average revenue per claim for the third
     quarter 2000 nearly doubled to $0.15 from $0.08 on a consecutive quarter
     basis. Although there can be no assurances, the Registrant expects the
     average rate to continue to increase, albeit not at the rate of 100% per
     quarter, as the Registrant continually establish more direct connections to
     payers.

o    The average revenue per patient statement processed in the third quarter
     2000 was twice the average revenue per claim processed for the same period
     in 1999. Patient statements were not a significant contributor to revenue
     before the third quarter of 1999.

o    As a result of the Registrant's efforts over the past two quarters, the
     average number of transactions per provider rose by 19% between the second
     and third quarters of fiscal 2000. The Registrant closed the third quarter
     of 2000 with 3,147 providers on service, a net increase of about 5% over
     the third quarter of 1999.

o    Under a Development and Services Agreement between the Registrant and
     McKessonHBOC, dated october 27, 1999, the development phase of the software
     referenced therein has been completed, triggering the final development fee
     payment as well as the start of license fees, support fees, and transaction
     fees set forth therein. The participants in the beta group testing such
     software have become customers of the Registrant and registration is in
     process for a number of new McKessonHBOC customers.

o    The Registrant acquired, among other assets, an agreement with John Deere
     Health (the "John Deere Agreement") in its purchase of certain of the
     assets, and assumption of certain of the liabilities, of HealthExchange.com
     from Vhx Company, a Nevada corporation ("Vhx"), on March 20, 2000 (the
     "Acquisition"), pursuant to which the Registrant was to provide certain
     services to John Deere Health and a product rollout on terms to be
     negotiated between the parties. The Registrant and John Deere Health were
     unable to finalize negotiations on such terms. Additionally, Vhx did not
     pay $2.8 million in obligations (the "JD Loans") due to John Deere Health,
     which, under the asset purchase agreement for the Acquisition, resulted in
     the liability of the Registrant to satisfy such obligation and triggered
     certain adjustments to the purchase consideration in the Acquisition. In
     the third quarter 2000, the Registrant reached an agreement in principle
     with John Deere Health and Vhx pursuant to which the JD Loans and the JD
     Agreement were canceled, and Vhx agreed to reduce its interest in the
     Registrant by 33.3%, or 400,000 shares of common stock. The financial
     impact of the cancellation of the JD Agreement and the JD Loans is that the
     Registrant recognized an impairment of value on the assets purchased and
     have recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $1,540,000 this quarter.

o    Under a new arrangement, the Registrant shall continue to host the provider
     directory service for John Deere Health and some of its clients at fair
     market value for a limited period of time.
