                    INTEGRAMED REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
                  --COMPANY EXPANDS DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY--

Purchase,  NY, November 1, 2000 -- IntegraMed America, Inc. (Nasdaq: INMD) today
announced  financial  results for the third  quarter and first nine months ended
September 30, 2000. In addition,  the Company announced its launch of IntegraMed
PatientDirect,  a new Internet powered marketing program offered on a geographic
exclusive basis to fertility centers across the country.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2000 were approximately $14.8 million, a 24.9%
increase  from the same  period  in 1999.  The  contribution  to  earnings  from
operations in the third quarter of 2000 was approximately $2.43 million compared
to $2.39  million for the same period in 1999.  Net income for the third quarter
of 2000 was  $440,000  compared to net income of $385,000 for the same period in
1999.  Diluted  earnings  per  share for the third  quarter  of 2000 were  $0.10
compared to $0.07 for the same period in 1999.  While same period  revenues grew
significantly,   contribution   and  net  income  grew  at  smaller  rates  due,
principally,  to the decline in higher margin  contract  revenue from our single
remaining  hospital  contract  and the  growth  of lower  margin  pharmaceutical
revenue.

Revenues for the first nine months of 2000 were $41.9 million,  a 26.1% increase
from the same period in 1999. The  contribution  to earnings from operations for
the first nine months of 2000 was  approximately  $6.5 million  compared to $7.2
million  for the same  period in 1999.  Net income for the first nine  months of
2000 was $1.1 million compared to net income of $1.4 million for the same period
in 1999. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2000 were $0.23
compared to $0.27 for the same period in 1999.  Revenues grew for the first nine
months compared to the prior year, however, the decline in higher margin revenue
from the hospital  contract and its  replacement by lower margin  pharmaceutical
revenue negatively impacted contribution and net income.

"Demand for  fertility  services  continues  to grow at a healthy  rate  fueling
continued  improvement  in the Company's  financial  performance,"  said Gerardo
Canet, President & CEO of IntegraMed America, Inc. "Same center revenue improved
by $5.4 million  during the third quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in
1999 and 32.6%  year to date.  In  addition,  the  diversification  strategy  is
beginning  to  payoff.  During  the  third  quarter,  revenues  from  IntegraMed
Pharmaceutical  Services  grew by $2.1  million  compared  to the same period in
1999, the first full quarter of operations.  IPSI has been  profitable  from the
first day of operations and now represents 16.2% of the Company's revenues."

"We plan to  accelerate  our  diversification  strategy,"  continued  Mr. Canet.
"IntegraMed  PatientDirect  is the newest  product  line that we launched at the
annual  American  Society  of  Reproductive  Medicine  meeting  in San  Diego in
October.  PatientDirect  provides high quality  fertility centers with exclusive
access to new patients through a package of Internet powered marketing programs.
Included in PatientDirect are treatment financing programs, employer contracting
efforts,  and a patient  refund  program  called Shared Risk Refund.  Under this
innovative program, patients pay IntegraMed one fixed fee for up to three cycles
of IVF. If the  patients do not have a baby,  under this  program they receive a
substantial refund."

The Shared  Risk  Refund  program  has been  extensively  used at the  Company's
affiliated Shady Grove Fertility Reproductive Science Center in Washington,  DC.

on a  national  roll-out  in  early  2001.  The  entire  PatientDirect  program,
including   Shared  Risk   Refund,   is  powered  by   IntegraMed's   web  site,
www.integramed.com.
