DestinationRx, Inc. Announces
PDOAP Application of Medicare.gov Wins the 2005 Pioneer Award

Los Angeles, CA, May 14, 2005 � DestinationRx, Inc. (DestinationRx) announced today that the Prescription Drug and Other Assistance Programs (PDOAP) component at www.medicare.gov is the recipient of the 2005 Pioneer Award chosen by E-Gov's Government Solutions Center (GSC). Winners were selected for their significant impact on how Government conducts business in the Information Age. In recognition, CMS will be demonstrating the online tool that allows users to compare and select Medicare approved prescription drug card plans during the Web-Enabled Government Exhibition on June 2 at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC.

The 2005 E-Gov Pioneer Award was granted to only 14 government agencies out of nearly 200 nominations from federal, state, and local government organizations, as well as international submissions. Selection criteria for the award included systems that: "increased productivity, saved limited public resources, and improved the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of citizen services."

DestinationRx built, deployed and hosted the Price Comparison component of the PDOAP application to help Medicare beneficiaries select a Medicare approved drug discount card as an interim step before the Medicare prescription drug benefit begins January 1, 2006.

DestinationRx licensed its technology to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and developed the presentation of the beneficiary choices tool in conjunction with CMS. DestinationRx Executive Vice President, Jim Yocum said that before the online system was operational, "CMS was in urgent need for an application that could carry out the Medicare Modernization Act�s requirement that beneficiaries would be able to compare discount card programs by out-of-pocket costs.

DestinationRx, having developed its Price Comparison software for its consumer and commercial businesses, was able to provide this capability and to provide it within an extremely short delivery window. Furthermore, CMS wanted this capability to be applied down to the individual pharmacy storefront. This has never been done before; it is equivalent to providing to consumers the price of every single product in every single supermarket, grocery, and convenience store and updating that information every week.�

In addition to delivering the price transparency that made the comparisons possible, DestinationRx also licensed and operates the Online Enrollment Center for CMS, greatly improving the efficiency of the comparison and enrollment of low-income and other Medicare beneficiaries in the most appropriate Drug Card.

DestinationRx is a software and services firm focused on the pharmacy sector that specializes in designing, developing, and implementing solutions for government and commercial clients. DestinationRx is also a leading consumer resource, providing education, price comparisons, and purchasing options for a variety of prescription drug and other health care transactions.
