Cybear Introduces New Version of Internet-based Product for Physicians; Solutions MD Version 2.0 Provides More Functionality, Easier Navigation.

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 1999--

Cybear, Inc. (NASDAQ:CYBA), an Internet-based portal and healthcare communications and applications company, today announced the release of Solutions MD Version 2.0, a comprehensive update of Cybear's Internet application designed to connect physicians to one another, and the world. This version, delivered automatically to customers' desktops, provides more robust tools for improving medical office productivity, faster and easier navigation, a fresh new look, the ability to personalize their home page, and one-click connections to favorite application tools.

Solutions MD Version 2.0 provides a gateway to the Internet for physicians and others in the medical office and a simple way to create a customized web site for the physician's practice. Providing multiple tools to eliminate the bureaucratic obstacles to practicing efficient medicine, it contains extensive physician, practice, coding, patient care, clinical and compliance solutions. For example, the product provides convenient access to numerous forms to aid the physician in the myriad requirements of patient care, billing, reimbursement, compliance, and human resources. There's even a tool to allow the practice to conduct patient satisfaction surveys in accordance with National Committee on Quality Assurance guidelines. Other features include access to patient education handouts, ICD9 code searches, one-page summaries of the doctor's managed care contracts, profiles of insurance plans' coverage of pharmaceuticals, and a listing of searchable clinical trials.

"Developing this enhanced software package was truly a cooperative effort," said Ed Goldman, M.D., Cybear's president and chief executive officer. "We listened to our customers and are providing them with an enhanced product even better suited to their needs. Whether it's healthcare news prioritized by their medical specialty, their stock portfolios, or even sports news, we feel it is important to let our users decide for themselves what they want to see when they log on to their computer screen."

Solutions MD Version 2.0, an upgraded version of the Solutions MD software package introduced in March, contains many features that are designed to help the medical office eliminate excessive administrative costs, including:

o Online verification of a patient's insurance eligibility and

referral authorizations.

o Built-in E&M benchmarking tool that lets the doctor's office

compare its Evaluation and Management (E&M) coding patterns with

HCFA national averages for a particular specialty. This is

essential to helping the medical office gauge whether it may be

losing profits by undercoding.

o An online capitation contract calculator, which allows medical

staff to evaluate a new capitation contract by computing its cost,

per member per month, and comparing this figure to the proposed

revenue stream.

o Redundancy-reduction tools, including an online program that stores

the doctor's credentialing data and automatically populates the

fields of managed care applications - saving time and money.
