Business Editors/Health & Medical Writers

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2002

Companies Form Partnership to Win Future Government Projects

Healthaxis Inc. (NASDAQ:HAXS), a leading provider of claims and administration applications, web-enabled software solutions and outsourced claims processing services for government and commercial benefit administrators and managed care organizations, has signed a definitive agreement with Dallas-based Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE:ACS) to deliver an advanced web-enabled membership, billing, and administration system as a part of ACS' Georgia Health Partnership.

The Georgia Health Partnership is a coalition of ACS and its business partners, which includes Healthaxis, working with the Georgia Department of Community Health, to develop and implement a state-of-the-art electronic health care administration system that will give patients, doctors and other health care providers easy, secure and efficient access to Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids, State Employee Health Benefits Plan (SHBP) and the University System of Georgia Board of Regents Health Benefits Plan information.

Healthaxis has been selected as the software and services vendor for the Membership Enrollment for Georgia (MEGA) system implementation and support project. ACS selected Healthaxis as a result of an extensive vendor selection process to identify the best solution to replace the current Membership Enrollment Management System.

In addition, Healthaxis and ACS have also entered into a separate partnership arrangement under which Healthaxis may provide similar software and services on future state projects with ACS.

"ACS is very pleased about this new contract and partnership agreement with Healthaxis. We believe their web-enabled Insur-Admin(R) is the best available product to meet our business and operational objectives," said Harvey Braswell, ACS Group President of Government Services.

The Healthaxis Insur-Admin system will be implemented as the MEGA system to provide web-based on-line functionality for enrollment, eligibility, billing (such as electronic bill presentment and payment), reconciliation and accounts receivable.

MEGA's goals are to reduce manual workload from the SHBP staff; ensure consistency of processes across all applications; reduce paper-based transactions and associated costs; as well as increase the speed, efficiency and accuracy of enrollment, billing and accounting processes.

"We are pleased about our competitive selection by ACS on behalf of the state of Georgia. Our solution will enable ACS and the Georgia Department of Community Health to achieve their goals by delivering a creative yet practical solution with flexibility, features and functionality to reduce cost and enhance customer service through process improvement and increased automation," said Jamie McLane, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Healthaxis. "This contract represents our second big win providing state governments with a state-of-the-art membership management system, establishing Healthaxis as an emerging force in this market."
