BUFFALO GROVE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 19, 2002

CorSolutions Medical, Inc., the nation's leading provider of health intelligence and solutions, and Humana Inc. (NYSE:HUM) announced today that they have renewed their contract using a fee-for-service arrangement. This follows an industry trend to move away from risk-based, proof-of-concept contracts. Together with Humana, CorSolutions(R) continues to display its commitment to reduce risk associated with chronic disease and to coordinate the appropriate level of care for Humana members.

"Humana has been a key CorSolutions' customer for many years, starting with a contract in 1996 for the first national disease management program in the industry. This new contract is a testament to the consistent results and value of our partnership," said Richard Vance, president and chief executive officer of CorSolutions. "Working together, we continue to enable Humana members to manage their cardiovascular disease so that complications can be avoided and quality of life can be improved."

CorSolutions' programs offer personalized coordination of healthcare to members in need. "For more than six years CorSolutions has coordinated resources and support services for Humana members with heart failure and coronary artery disease," said Jonathan T. Lord, senior vice president and chief strategy and innovation officer for Humana. "CorSolutions' consistent efforts on behalf of our members have helped them become more engaged and informed about their illness as well as better equipped to manage it."

"CorSolutions has shown that they know which resources and support are needed to facilitate care for our heart failure and coronary artery disease members," said Mike McCallister, president and chief executive officer of Humana. "The collaboration between Humana and CorSolutions is a model for the industry. The new fee-for-service agreement is evidence of our belief that the program will continue to deliver positive results."
