FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Medix and ParkStone Announce Integrated Solution for Physician Practices
Software Interface Enables Seamleess Connectivity Between Practice
Management Systems and ParkStone's Hand-held Solution
NEW YORK, November 9, 2000 - Medix Resources, Inc. (AMEX: MXR)
announced the availability of Medix's patented Universal Interface with
ParkStone's hand-held application for physicians. This integrated capability
enables the upload of patient demographics and insurance data from pre-existing
physician practice management systems (PMS) to the ParkStone System, without the
need for custom programming code. This enables the ParkStone System to
synchronize with the PMS seamlessly and efficiently, allowing physicians to use
the ParkStone system in combination with the PMS without changing physician
workflow. The companies will now field test the integrated units in doctors'
offices. Improving physician office efficiencies without changing the way
physicians practice is a key factor in gaining physician adoption of the
companies' office and provider connectivity solutions.

pleased with the ongoing joint development efforts with ParkStone and the
progress made to date in this important strategic alliance. I continue to
believe that the combination of ParkStone's world-class hand-held product and
Medix's breakthrough proprietary technology represents a powerful value
proposition for the mainstream physician. We expect 2001 to be an exciting year
in terms of both co-development as well as joint deployment of our integrated
solution."
"The ability for the ParkStone hand-held application to seamlessly
synchronize with practice management systems is a critical need to drive maximum
physician satisfaction and office efficiency," said John H. Johnson, ParkStone
President and CEO. "ParkStone's ability to leverage the Cymedix proprietary
interface tool along with Cymedix capabilities to integrate medication histories
and other clinical information into the hand-held system from various sources
puts ParkStone ahead of the curve in this market."
