                    INTEGRAMED REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
                            Net Income Increases 52%


Purchase,  NY, May 2, 2006 --  IntegraMed  America,  Inc.  (Nasdaq:  INMD) today
announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Reported Results

Net income for the first quarter of 2006 was $476,000, a 52% increase from the
$314,000 net income reported for the first quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per
share for the first quarter of 2006 were $0.09 compared to $0.06 for the same
period in 2005.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2006 were $30.5 million, an 11% increase
from comparable pro forma revenues for the same period in 2005.

The contribution to earnings from operations in the first quarter of 2006 was
approximately $3.8 million, a 13% increase from the $3.4 million reported for
the same period in 2005. Contribution to earnings from operations now represents
12.8% of revenue compared to 10.5% from the year ago period.


Change in Reporting Format

Effective October 1, 2005, the Company entered into an amended service agreement
with ivpcare, inc, its strategic partner in the pharmaceutical services business
(part of the consumer services segment), whereby the Company no longer records
sales of pharmaceutical products as revenue and costs of pharmaceutical products
as a cost of service, but rather net marketing fees associated with those sales.
As a result of these changes, revenues for the first quarter of 2006 of $30.5
million are not directly comparable to reported revenue for the first quarter of
2005 of $32 million. Revenues on a reported basis and after giving effect to the
contract amendment are presented below (in thousands):

Management Discussion


"In comparing the first quarter of 2006 with the first quarter of 2005, the
Provider Services segment of our business had 8% revenue growth; and the Shared
Risk Refund Program and Patient Financing portion of the Consumer Services
segment had revenue growth of 66%," said Jay Higham, President and CEO of
IntegraMed. In addition, the change in reporting format as well as the continued
rapid growth in our higher margin Consumer Services segment have combined to
produce a 22% improvement in contribution margins.


"Further, since the beginning of 2006 we added to our network through new
contracts in Boston and Seattle and new affiliates in Baton Rouge and
Cincinnati. The impact from these new contracts did not contribute to our
success in the first quarter and we expect revenue increases from these
transactions to begin in the second half of the year. With the strong start in
the first quarter we are on plan to build revenue and bottom-line results for
all of 2006," said Mr. Higham.
