CareDecision Acquires Pharmacy Operations with a Projected $5 Million

Annual Revenue Stream and 800 Physician Client Base

for E-Health Products

CareDecision Corp. (OTCBB:CDED), the e-Health technology developer and medical PDA innovator, today announced that is has signed a Definitive Agreement with Netcare Health Group to acquire its wholly owned subsidiary, Netcare Health Services, Inc. The agreement between the two companies will finalize upon the filing of the appropriate merger documents that follow a defined diligence period that concludes on February 13, 2003.

Netcare Health Services, Inc., specializes in the provision of pharmacy fulfillment services to the nation's long term care and nursing home industries. The acquisition, when completed, transitions CareDecision Corp. from its focused e-Health business model, and its intermediary role providing Internet-enhanced communication software solutions between physicians and the other industry participants, to also include a new business unit offering prescription drug fulfillment and pharmacy services at several levels within the healthcare system.

Robert Cox, CEO of CareDecision, commented, "The addition of Netcare to our existing operation satisfies the established internal criteria that we rigidly observe when evaluating any acquisition, merger, technology advancement and product development. Netcare has an existing business that is projected to yield a nearly $5 million annual revenue stream, while at the same time furnishing the Company with a customer base that has an expressed need for those solutions that our core e-health technologies can satisfy. Netcare currently provides service to nearly 800 practicing physicians who in turn administer a large geriatric patient base, and who will benefit from the introduction and adoption of our clinical software applications."

Mr. Cox continued, "This acquisition immediately introduces a broad base of new clients to our core e-Health technologies, while simultaneously providing Netcare with the technological tools to create a service differentiation that separates them from the competition. The inclusion of CareDecision technologies within the provided Netcare pharmacy fulfillment service will create a distinguishing and uniquely saleable feature that will positively impact the pursuit of incremental pharmacy fulfillment business. It is the perfect union of diverse enterprises that will result in significant advancements for each individual entity while yielding compounded benefits to the parent."
