      Re:    Additional Compensation Arrangements

Dear Jeff:

      I am pleased to advise You that in recognition and consideration of your
service to the ProxyMed, Inc. (the "Company") the Board of Directors of the
Company has approved several amendments to your current compensation plan. This
letter will confirm our agreement to amend your current Employment Agreement
with the Company ("Agreement"), as discussed herein.

  1.  Retention Bonus. In the event of a combination (including a tender
offer, merger, sale or exchange of 50% or more of the outstanding capital stock
of the Company, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or otherwise)
of the Company with another party or a recapitalization of the Company or
similar restructuring (a "Strategic Transaction"), You will be eligible to
receive a lump sum bonus payment ("Retention Bonus") from the Company in the
amount of $100,000. This Retention Bonus will be due and payable in cash upon
the closing of a definitive transaction ("Closing"), or in the case of a
transaction involving a tender offer or other purchase or sale of stock, when
control of 50% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock is acquired by
an entity other than a current stockholder. In order to qualify for the
Retention Bonus, You must remain an active employee through the time of the
Closing (other than termination of your employment by the Company Without
Cause), and cooperate fully with the Company in the completion of the Strategic
Transaction. You should expect that in almost all situations, this bonus will be
fully taxable, and consult with your tax adviser for your situation.
