NEW YORK, Mar 16, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- John Prufeta, president and CEO of Medix Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MDIX), today announced the Company's merger with Automated Design Concepts (ADC), a New Jersey-based Internet hardware, hosting, and software development firm, specializing in healthcare and e-commerce strategies.

ADC was created in 1997 by David R. Pfeil in response to a need for integrated healthcare automation systems and e-commerce. ADC customer applications cover a wide range of needs from introductory Web presence sites to full-scale secure e-commerce web sites and corporate Intranets. ADC also develops and maintains a series of ASP software applications for the healthcare and education industries. Pfeil is president and chief operating officer of Medix's wholly-owned subsidiary Cymedix Lynx Corporation and a member of the Medix board of directors. While the exact terms of the merger were not released, ADC founder David Pfeil received a combination of cash and common stock in exchange for ADC.
"This is an important move for Medix," stated Prufeta. "ADC and Medix have been working together for the last year. The official combination of ADC with Medix will accelerate the completion of the thin-client and browser versions of the Cymedix.com application."
"ADC brings to Medix strong experience in e-commerce development, which will be applied to the healthcare community," stated Pfeil. "This technology has already been deployed at ADC's www.medicodes.com site which enables healthcare providers to search a national database for billing codes, physician UPINs, diagnosis codes, and more."
