ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

         On December 21, 2001 ProxyMed, Inc. (the "Company"), sold 483,414
shares of common stock at $16.50 per share in a private placement to nine U.S.
and Canadian institutional and accredited investors, resulting in net proceeds
to the Company of approximately $7,247,500 after costs of $728,800. Commonwealth
Associates, L.P. acted as placement agent in the transaction for which it
received 7% of the gross proceeds of the shares sold plus their actual
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the private placement.
Certain executive officers, directors and controlling persons of the Company
have agreed to a lock-up on all shares owned or beneficially owned by them until
a registration statement covering the shares sold in the private placement is
declared effective. The Company's registration statement covering the resale of
the Shares must be declared effective by the SEC on or before March 20, 2002, or
the Per Share Purchase Price will be reduced by 5% for each month (or on a pro
rata basis for any portion thereof) thereafter until such time as the
registration statement is effective; provided, however, that the maximum
reduction in the Per Share Purchase Price shall be 25%. The reduction in the Per
Share Purchase Price shall be evidenced by the issuance of additional Shares
(the "Adjustment Shares") to the investors within five days following the
effective date of the registration statement.

         Additionally, on December 13, 2001, the Company offered to convert the
203,799 shares outstanding of its Series C 7% Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series C Preferred") into shares of common stock at a reduced conversion price
(the "Conversion Offer"). For a period of sixty days ending February 11, 2002,
the holders of the Series C Preferred shares may convert such shares at a
reduced conversion price of $13.05 per share instead of the conversion price of
$15.00. If all Series C Preferred shares are converted, the Company will issue a
total of 1,561,678 shares of common stock, inclusive of an additional 203,018
shares of common stock as a result of the reduced conversion price. The Company
is expected to record a deemed dividend charge of approximately $2.99 for each
converted share as a result of the inducement to convert. Charges of
approximately $3.4 million will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2001 for
conversions consummated before the 2001 year end and any additional conversions
in 2002 will result in charges recorded in the first quarter of 2002. As of
December 31, 2001, holders of approximately 83% of the outstanding Series C
Preferred had converted their shares.

         In addition, holders of more than two-thirds of the outstanding Series
C Preferred have voted to amend the Articles of Designation governing the Series
C Preferred and the Subscription Agreement dated as of June 15, 2000. These
amendments eliminate certain rights of the Series C Preferred shareholders,
including anti-dilution provisions, voting rights and certain restrictive
covenants agreed to by the Company, and will apply to those Series C Preferred
shareholders who decide not to participate in the Conversion Offer.

         The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the
resale of the private placement shares of the investors, the Adjustment Shares,
and the resale of the additional shares issuable to the holders of the Series C
Preferred shares electing to convert at the reduced conversion price pursuant to
the Conversion Offer.


                                       2


         As a result of the reduced conversion price in the Conversion Offer,
85,689 warrants with an exercise price of $15.00 per share issued in connection
with our Series B 6% Convertible Preferred Stock were reset into 98,493 warrants
with a new exercise price of $13.05 per share as a result of anti-dilution
provisions relating to the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of this reset,
the Company will record a deemed dividend charge of approximately $207,800 in
the fourth quarter of 2001.
