DALLAS - April 15, 2003 - Claimsnet.com inc. (OTCBB: CLAI.OB; BSE: CLAI), a
leading provider of Internet-based business-to-business solutions for the

share. The investor also paid $200,000 upon the exercise of a previously issued
warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
