                MEDICAL MANAGER ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

         ELMWOOD PARK, NEW JERSEY, January 31, 1999 - Medical Manager
Corporation (NASDAQ: MMGR) announced today financial results for the quarter
ended December 31, 1999. Revenues for the period were $79,932,000, as compared
to $65,056,000 in the prior year, an increase of 23%. Net income for the period
was $17,445,000 or $0.43 per share compared with $2,833,000 or $0.08 per share
in the prior year. Excluding the impact of certain non-recurring items discussed
below, net income for the quarter was $798,000 or $0.02 per share, as compared
to $5,777,000 or $0.16 per share in the prior year. The decrease in net income
and income per share reflects the increased investment in the development of
CareInsite's business. Non-recurring items for the current period include a net
pre-tax gain on the sale of investments of $24,887,000 and a pre-tax charge
related to certain litigation of $450,000. Non-recurring items for the prior
year period include a pre-tax write-off of capitalized software of $2,381,000
and pre-tax charges related to certain litigation of $2,366,000.

         Revenues at Medical Manager Health Systems for the quarter were
$48,425,000, an increase of 15% over prior year. EBITDA increased 30% to
$9,744,000, as compared to $7,496,000 in the prior year. During the quarter,
Medical Manager announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Physician
Computer Network (PCN), a leading provider of physician practice management
systems with an installed base of approximately 55,000 physicians. This
acquisition, which is expected to close in the spring of 2000, is subject to the
confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization filed by PCN with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court and certain other customary conditions to closing. With the acquisition of
PCN, Medical Manager's installed base increases to 185,000 physicians in 33,000
sites. Medical Manager and PCN also extended their previously announced
exclusive arrangement to offer CareInsite's web-based physician portal services
and clinical e-commerce transactions to PCN's entire client base. John Kang,
Co-CEO of Medical Manager said, "We are working closely with PCN in anticipation
of closing the acquisition this spring. We have completed our initial
acquisitions of key strategic independent PCN dealerships and are in various
stages of discussions with other key PCN dealerships to continue to strengthen
our premier network of company-owned and independent dealers." He continued,
"Operationally, upgrading users to Version 9 and increasing penetration of our
network services offering continues to have a strong impact on our results. In
addition, we have received a tremendous interest in our newest products,
OmniChart and OmniDocs and we are expecting a broad roll-out of Intergy in the
latter part of calendar 2000."

         In following its strategy of adding additional products and services
which leverage Medical Manager's strong installed base, the Company acquired
Mednetrix, Inc. in January 2000, a leading provider of custom web sites for
physicians. Mednetrix, which is located in Boca Raton, Florida, designs,
produces and hosts content-rich websites for physician practices. Mednetrix's
unique website development tools will be offered to physician practices across
the United States. Mr. Kang said, "Mednetrix's impressive technology and
approach to building physician web sites reinforces our philosophy of providing
feature-rich products to the health care community which enhance a physician's
ability to practice medicine. Physician sites developed with Mednetrix tools are
differentiated in that they provide an Internet presence, branding, and
e-commerce opportunity for the medical practice. Physicians can provide
education materials, as well as communicate and participate in e-commerce
directly with their patients."

         Revenues at CareInsite for the quarter were $1,501,000. There were no
revenues in the prior year period. EBITDA was $(12,642,000) as compared to
$(3,980,000) in the prior year. During the quarter, CareInsite also recognized a
gain resulting from the sale of investments of $25,511,000. CareInsite continued
to strengthen its presence in the New York metropolitan area with the expansion
of its existing relationships with Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Group
Health Incorporated, HIP Health Plans and Greater New York Hospital Association.
These leading healthcare organizations, who already participate in CareInsite's
physician services network, will be the initial participants in CareInsite's
consumer health services network. As previously announced, CareInsite also
acquired in January the remaining 80% equity interest in The Health Information
Network Connection (THINC) that it did not already own.

         Commenting on the second quarter results, Marvin P. Rich, CEO of
CareInsite, said, "We are excited to expand our relationships with the New York
area's leading payers. These payers, and their 7 million members, will benefit
from CareInsite's comprehensive suite of physician and member services. As of
the end of December, CareInsite was processing transactions for more than 3,500
physicians in the New York/New Jersey area. The integration of CareInsite's
services with the practice management systems of Medical Manager and others is
proceeding as planned and our physician portal will be launched shortly. As a
result of these initiatives and our expanded relationships with the New York
area's leading payers, we expect to continue to grow both the number of
physicians and the breadth of services offered."

         Revenues at Porex Corporation, the Company's plastic and filtration
technologies subsidiary, for the quarter were $30,006,000, an increase of 30%
over prior year. EBITDA increased 16% to $9,474,000, as compared to $8,144,000
in the prior year. "During the quarter, Porex acquired important new separations
technology," said Kim Davis, President and CEO of Porex. He continued, "This new
technology adds substantial breadth and depth to the products and technology of
the company's Porous Products Group. Porex continues to focus on new business
opportunities through the acquisition of new technologies and the expansion of
current and new markets."

         Martin J. Wygod, Chairman of Medical Manager, said, "These results mark
another quarter of significant accomplishments across all three of our
businesses. We continue to pursue strategic transactions in each business line
that will enhance our product and service offerings and create long-term value
for shareholders. I am particularly pleased with the pipeline of transactions
and the negotiations taking place at CareInsite. Numerous regional and national
payers, as well as strategic partners, have endorsed our product and service
offerings and we expect to jointly announce the completion of definitive
agreements related to these discussions in the near future."

         The Company currently has approximately $440,000,000 in cash and
marketable securities to be used for general corporate purposes, as well as
acquisitions and other strategic transactions. This amount includes
approximately $116,000,000 in cash and marketable securities at CareInsite.

         Medical Manager Corporation is publicly traded on NASDAQ and operates
three lines of business. Medical Manager Health Systems is a leading provider of
physician practice management systems. Porex Corporation is a leader in the
development, manufacturing and distribution of porous and solid plastic
products. CareInsite, Inc. provides innovative healthcare network and e-commerce
services that leverage Internet technology to enable the confidential exchange
of clinical, administrative and financial information among physicians and their
patients, and affiliated health plans, providers and suppliers. CareInsite is a
69% owned subsidiary of Medical Manager Corporation.
