                       PER-SE TECHNOLOGIES AUDIT COMMITTEE
                          CONCLUDES INDEPENDENT REVIEW
        Audit Committee Finds Anonymous Letter Allegations to be Baseless



ATLANTA -- NOVEMBER 24, 2003 -- Per-Se Technologies (Nasdaq: PSTI) announced
today that the audit committee of its board of directors has completed its
independent review of the allegations contained in an anonymous letter sent to
several financial research analysts that follow the Company. The audit committee
concluded that the letter's allegations are unfounded and without merit.

On November 11, 2003, the Company issued a statement that an anonymous letter
was circulating in the investment community that alleged improper accounting and
business activities. The Company believes this letter is from a disgruntled
former employee. In accordance with Company policies, the letter was referred to
the audit committee. In its review, the audit committee, with the assistance of
outside counsel, investigated the letter's allegations in detail and found them
to be baseless.

"Per-Se has strong corporate governance practices and controls," stated John C.
Pope, Per-Se's lead independent director and chairman of the audit committee of
the board of directors. "The audit committee is confident in the integrity of
the Per-Se management team and the Company's commitment to compliance in all
areas of its business."
