FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

         Claimsnet.com Receives Nasdaq Staff Determination and Requests
               Hearing Before Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel

DALLAS - January 16, 2002 - Claimsnet.com inc. (NASDAQ: CLAI; BSE: CLA), a
leading provider of Internet-based business-to-business solutions for the
healthcare industry, today announced that it received a Nasdaq Staff
Determination on January 9, 2002 indicating that the Company fails to comply
with either the minimum $2,000,000 net tangible assets or the minimum $2,500,000
stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace
Rule 4310(c)(2)(B), and that its securities are, therefore, subject to delisting
from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company has requested a hearing before a
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. There can
be no assurance the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued
listing. The Company's request for a hearing with the Panel will stay the
delisting of the Company's Common Stock pending the Panel's decision.

Should the Company be unable to reach a successful conclusion with regard to
continued listing on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company intends for its
stock to be traded via the OTC Bulletin Board(R) (OTCBB).
