Revolution Health Group Announces Initial Acquisitions

Press Release



WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Just 100 days after its launch,

Revolution Health Group (RHG) announced that it had completed the acquisition

of six start-up health companies, made an investment in a seventh company, and

hired its senior management team. This puts the company ahead of schedule in

its drive to build the leading, comprehensive consumer-driven health company,

and to bring its first major offerings to consumers in 2006.

RHG seeks to create a health company where patients are put at the center

of the health system, with more choices, more convenience, and more control

over their health care. The RHG board of directors is chaired by AOL Co-

Founder Steve Case, and its members include former Secretary of State Colin

Powell; former Fortune 500 CEOs Frank Raines, Jim Barksdale, Steve Wiggins,

and Carly Fiorina; and leading venture capitalists/financiers Miles Gilburne,

Jeff Zients, John Delaney, and David Golden, among others.



RHG's Plans and Initial Acquisitions

When RHG was launched in July 2005, the co-founders promised news of its

initial acquisitions this fall. Today, RHG is announcing its plans and

progress in launching consumer offerings in three key areas: content,

coverage, and care.

"With these initial investments, we are on our way to building a company

that puts patients back in control of their health care decisions," said Steve

Case, Chairman of RHG. "I am pleased we have made so much progress so

quickly, and excited about what we will be bringing to market in the months

ahead. Still, the work has just begun on what is a long-term project that

will take years to reach its full potential."

The acquisitions are:



Content: RHG will launch a consumer-friendly health portal in 2006

( http://www.revolutionhealth.com ). The website will be a leading tool for

consumers as they manage their health needs and the health needs of their

families.

To that end, RHG has acquired four companies that will provide key

elements for the RHG portal: MyDNA Media, which offers health news and

information; 1-800-Schedule, which helps consumers find doctors and schedule

appointments with health care providers; Simo Software, Inc., which has

created software that allows consumers to manage their health care spending,

records and finances; and Wondir, Inc., which provides a community-based

search for information about health needs and issues.

Other acquisitions will be added in the months ahead, as well as

additional tools and content to be developed by the RHG team. "Our goal is

bold, but simple: build the leading online resource for health care, period.

With these acquisitions, we've got some great pieces, and some great people --

but there is still much work to be done," said John Pleasants, CEO of

Revolution Health Group.



Coverage: In conjunction with major partners, RHG plans to offer

consumers new, easy-to-understand, health care coverage services that aim to

give patients and their doctors more control over health care decisions.

To date, RHG has acquired a controlling interest in two companies that are

already helping employers and individuals with health coverage needs:



-- Extend Benefits LLC ( http://www.extendbenefits.com ), which provides

individual benefits solutions to corporate America. Its clients

already include AutoNation, Continental Airlines and the PGA Tour, and

later this month, Extend Benefits will be announcing a significant new

partnership to offer defined contribution health plans to small

businesses.



-- ConnectYourCare, Inc. ( http://www.connectyourcare.com ), provides a

robust consumer-directed health care platform to employers, banks,

carriers, and third-party administrators. It offers health savings

account management with an integrated debit card, online account

access, comprehensive health care information tools, member advocacy,

and a member-focused call center.





Both ConnectYourCare and ExtendBenefits will continue to develop and

market products under their own brands, and work with RHG on its future

consumer offerings, expected in late 2006.



Care: Finally, RHG has purchased a minority-position -- with an

opportunity to acquire a majority stake -- in InterFit Health

( http://www.InterFit.com ), one of the nation's largest providers of retail

health screenings and immunizations delivered in retail outlets and at

employer worksites. For example, this fall, InterFit will offer low-cost flu

shots to shoppers in every Wal-Mart and Sam's Club in the United States.

Most significantly, RHG is providing the capital to support the roll-out

of InterFit's "RediClinics" ( http://www.RediClinic.com ) -- retail-based

convenient health care centers that provide fast, affordable treatment for

routine medical conditions, as well as screenings, medical tests, and

immunizations and other preventive services. These facilities are staffed

with certified nurse practitioners, who are trained and licensed to diagnose,

treat, and prescribe medications for common, non-emergency medical conditions

in collaboration with local physicians.

RediClinics are located inside popular retail outlets, and are open seven

days a week, with extended hours on weekdays. Seven RediClinics are already

operating in Wal-Mart Supercenters in Arkansas and Oklahoma, and in H-E-B

stores in Texas. Five more RediClinics will open in the next 45 days,

including one in a Duane Reade pharmacy near Times Square in New York City.

RediClinic is the second-largest national convenient care chain, with a major,

nationwide expansion planned in 2006.
