Commission on April 1, 2002, solely to completely restate the material under the
heading "Comparison of Cumulative Total Returns." This restatement is being made

erroneous data points for the American Stock Exchange index used for comparative
purposes. No other changes in the Form 10-K have been made.

(1) Other annual compensation, except as noted, is made up of automobile
allowances, and disability and health insurance premiums, in amounts less
than 10% of the officer's annual salary plus bonus.
(2) During 1999, Mr. Prufeta served as a consultant to the Company pursuant to
a consulting agreement between the Company and his employer, Creative
Management Strategies, Inc., which company was paid or accrued the amount
shown above and received options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock,
included in the amount shown. He became an employee of the Company in early
2000.
(3) During 2001, Mr. Hyman, through an affiliated entity, served as a
consultant to Medix before he became a full time employee and executive
officer. This amount includes the consulting compensation to his firm. He
also received a grant of options to purchase 20,000 shares for his
consulting services.
Stock Option Awards. In August 1999, our Board of Directors approved and
authorized our 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "1999 Plan"), which is intended to
grant either non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, as
described below. In 2000, our shareholders approved the 1999 Plan. The purpose
of the 1999 Plan is to enable our company to provide opportunities for certain
officers and key employees to acquire a proprietary interest in our company, to
increase incentives for such persons to contribute to our performance and
further success, and to attract and retain individuals with exceptional
business, managerial and administrative talents, who will contribute to our
progress, growth and profitability.
Options granted under our 1999 Plan include both incentive stock options
("ISOs"), within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and non-qualified stock options ("NQOs"). Under
the terms of the Plan, all officers and employees of our company are eligible
for ISOs. Our company determines in its discretion, which persons will receive
ISOs, the applicable exercise price, vesting provisions and the exercise term
thereof. The terms and conditions of option grants differ from optionee to
optionee and are set forth in the optionees' individual stock option agreement.
Such options generally vest over a period of one or more years and expire after
up to ten years. In order to qualify for certain preferential treatment under
the Code, ISOs must satisfy the statutory requirements thereof. Options that
fail to satisfy those requirements will be deemed NQOs and will not receive
preferential treatment under the Code. Upon exercise, shares will be issued upon
payment of the exercise price in cash, by delivery of shares of Common Stock, by
delivery of options or a combination of any of these methods. At our 2001 Annual
Meeting, our shareholders approved an increase of 3,000,000 shares to 13,000,000
as the amount of total shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance under
the 1999 Plan.
As of March 15, 2002, we had issued 5,736,560 shares of our Common Stock
upon exercise of options to current or former employees and directors, and have
6,568,667 shares currently covered by outstanding options held by current or
former employees and directors, with exercise prices ranging form $.19 to $4.97.
Such options have been granted under the 1999 Plan and earlier stock option
plans.

(1) The Black-Scholes option-pricing model estimates the options fair value
by considering the following assumptions: the options exercise price and
expected life, the underlying current market price of the stock and expected
volatility, expected dividends and the risk free interest rate corresponding to
the term of the option. The fair values calculated above use expected volatility
of 132%, a risk-free rate of 5.5%, no dividend yield and anticipated exercise at
the end of the term.

Director Compensation
In 1999, we adopted the policy of compensating non-employee Directors,
$1,000 for attending each regular quarterly Board meeting in person, and $250
for attendance by telephone. The Board of Directors has also authorized payment
of reasonable travel or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by non-employee
directors for attending Board or committee meetings. Notwithstanding this
policy, during 2001, the Directors waived such fees but not reimbursements for
out-of-pocket expenses. Independently, Ms Joan Herman has waived her director
fees altogether, based on WellPoint company policy.
From time to time, the Board of Directors will grant non-employee Directors
options to acquire shares of Common Stock as compensation for their services to
the Company as Directors. During 2001, we granted options covering 200,000
shares of Common Stock each to Mr. Jeffries and Mr. Scalzi, at the time they
became Directors, which are exercisable at $.78 per share.
In January 2002, the Directors discontinued the policy of cash fees to
Directors for attending Board or committee meetings. Instead, non-employee
Directors will be compensated for their services through the grant of options to
purchase our Common Stock. As of January 22, 2002, each Director, except Ms.
Herman based on the policy referred to above, has been granted options to
purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share.
Those options vest in quarterly 10,000 share increments, from the date of grant,
provided that the Director remains on the Board of the Company.
In 1999, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Samuel Havens,
which provides that we pay Mr. Havens $5,000 per month for his consulting
services in connection with our marketing efforts. Mr. Havens has deferred his
monthly payment since April, 2001, with the accrued amount payable to Mr. Havens
at March 15, 2002 being $55,000. During 2001, we paid Mr. Havens $20,000 for his
services.
Board Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee")
administers the Medix stock option plans and oversees our executive
compensation, subject to approval of its recommendations by the Board of
Directors. Executive compensation includes base salaries, annual incentives and
long term stock option plans, as well as any executive benefits and/or
prerequisites.
Our general compensation philosophy for our executive officers, including
our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), is to offer competitive compensation
packages that are designed to attract and retain key executives critical to the
success of the Company. At present, packages include annual cash compensation
(salaries) and long-term compensation consisting of options to purchase the
Company's stock, to align the interests of management with those of the
Company's shareholders. Beginning with calendar year 2002, executive packages
will include variable amounts of annual bonus potential, tied to specific
performance goals for the Company and the individual executives. The Committee
intends to review the performance and compensation of executives annually, in
conjunction with the performance of the Company. Incentive Stock Option awards
are based upon the Committee's judgment as to the relative rank and contribution
of each executive (or other employee) to the success and survival of the
Company.
In addition, the Company has entered into employment agreements with its
executive officers, as outlined earlier in this report.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
In 1999, we entered into agreements with Wellpoint Pharmacy Management
("WPM") to implement a pilot program for the introduction of Cymedix(R)software
to healthcare providers identified by WPM. After the required testing of the
software, the agreements provide for a production program to install the
software broadly among WPM managed providers. One of the agreements provides
that Medix will nominate a representative of WPM to be elected to the Company's
Board of Directors. Ms. Herman is that representative. Such agreement also
provided that WPM would be granted warrants evidencing the right to purchase up
to 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which vest upon the occurrence of certain
performance criteria. The agreement provides for the grant of warrants covering
3,000,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.30 per share, and warrants
covering 3,000,000 shares with an exercise price of $0.50 per share, all
expiring five years from the date of grant, September 8, 2004. In February 2002,
the warrant agreement was amended to revise the performance criteria and to add
an additional right to purchase up to 1,000,000 additional shares at $1.75 per
share. At March 15, 2002, warrants covering 1,850,000 shares, exercisable at
$.30 per share, had vested. In February 2002, Wellpoint Health Networks Inc.,
the parent of WPM made a secured convertible loan to Medix of $1,000,000. See
"DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - Recent Developments" for a description of the terms
of both these agreements. In addition, Mr. Jeffries, who became a director of
ours in 2001, is an officer and consultant to Wellpoint Health Network.
Comparison of Cumulative Total Returns
The following graph and data point tables compare the performance of the
Company's common stock with the performance of the AMEX - U.S. Index, as
adjusted, and as provided by the American Stock exchange and a Custom Composite
Index (4 stocks) over the five year period extending through the end of 2001.
The graph and tabular information assume that $100 was invested on December 31,
1996 in the Company's common stock, the AMEX - U.S. Index and the Custom
Composite index, with any dividends being reinvested. The Company has provided
this graph and the tabular information using publicly available information that
it has no reason to believe is not accurate. However, the Company takes no
responsibility for such information.
The Custom Composite Index includes Cybear, AllScripts, WebMD and ProxyMed,
companies that the Company believes are its peers and that are involved in the
same or similar lines of business. The Company believes that this peer group is
a better comparison than broader indices which are publicly available. Data for
Cybear, AllScripts and WebMD were not available for periods prior to 1999.
