PMD INCORPORATES NEW GENERATION TECHNOLOGY
FOR ON-SITE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING NATIONWIDE

Physicians Test, Diagnose and Treat Patients at One Location;
Provide Timely Diagnosis and Enhance Patient Care

Atlanta, GA; February 25, 2004: Proactive Medical Diagnostics, Inc. (PMD) announces its participation in Pri-Med South, Ft. Lauderdale, Booth 634. At the show, PMD will present attendees with significant benefits in utilizing expert on-site Electro-Diagnostic (EDX) testing services. Through PMD, physicians have the option to test their patients at their offices rather than referring them to outside facilities, such as hospitals. In many cases, referrals result in the loss of follow-up visits and patient retention.

PMD was created by a group of doctors and professionals to assist physicians in maintaining their patient base and enhancing overall patient care. PMD's team of experts has full knowledge of diagnostic testing products and services and ensures accuracy of the entire process. With PMD, physicians can conveniently test, diagnose, and treat patients at just one location. Since PMD returns test results within just days, doctors can immediately develop a reliable and effective treatment plan. Private practices taking advantage of this opportunity realize that innovative methods of diagnostic testing are much more conducive to patients.

Amram Weiner, M.D.,--New York, NY--notes the incentives of utilizing PMD and its affiliated services. [After the testing process with PMD was completed], "my patient's disability was established, she was able to receive her compensation and that enabled her to care for her children. Although initially complex, this patient case became simple and straight forward. In addition, my office and PMD were both reimbursed for services. Using in-office diagnostic testing is a win-win situation for all," Dr. Weiner concludes.

PMD provides medical and personnel services including technical support and training for office staff as well as test interpretations handled by board certified neurologists. These services are offered in association with Advanced Medical Management Associates (AMMA), an innovative consulting firm specializing in billing and technical support. AMMA works closely with PMD to ensure the highest level of quality and compliance.

"By employing PMD's services, physicians can increase their in-house diagnostic procedures with the latest developments in testing technology. The most important aspect of in-office EDX testing is the benefits this service provides to the patient. The added convenience, comfort, and flexibility assure patients of the best care possible. There's no need to hire technicians or incur additional expenses. We bring these doctors new generation of testing equipment right into their offices," explains PMD Medical Director, Terrill M. Wright, M.D.

PMD's highly medically trained technicians travel to doctor's offices to administer a variety of EDX tests using hand-carried, state-of-the-art equipment. Specific testing services include Nerve Conduction Velocity studies (NCV), Spinal Ultrasounds, Doppler Screenings, Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP), Dermatomal Evoked Potentials, and H-reflex studies.

Nerve Conduction Velocity studies (NCV) are one of the best performed tests to successfully screen for early detection of sensory and motor deficiencies, especially in diabetic patients who are asymptomatic. Patients complaining of neck, arm, wrist, shoulder or foot pain, could be at risk of a diabetic neuropathy. NCV tests assess and diagnose diseases of the brainstem, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. In addition, they assess the speed and size of the nerve response.
