have entered into an  agreement  to expand  their  relationship  by making WebMD

than doubling the number of electronic transactions currently being generated by
the IDX  physician  user  base over the next  several  years.  Although  pricing

been built into the contract to accomplish this goal.

Richard E. Tarrant, CEO of IDX, said, "We are pleased to expand our relationship

approximately  1,000  healthcare  payers  across the United States and this full

Martin J. Wygod, Chairman and CEO of WebMD, said,  "Continuing and expanding our
relationship  with IDX is an important  step toward WebMD  achieving its goal of
vastly increasing the volume of electronic healthcare transaction processing and
substantially  bringing down administrative costs for payers across the country.
Working closely with industry  leaders such as IDX  demonstrates  our ability to
eliminate the  administrative  burden for  physicians and their office staffs in
order to reduce healthcare costs and improve the quality of patient care."
