  MEDAVANT ANNOUNCES THE APPOINTMENT OF BRADEN KELLY AS ACTING CHAIRMAN OF THE
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

ATLANTA, GA.--(BUSINESS WIRE) -- FEBRUARY 3, 2006-- MedAvant Healthcare
Solutions (MedAvant) (NASDAQ: PILL), a leader in healthcare technology and
transaction services, today announced the appointment of Braden Kelly as
"acting" Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Kelly is
a Managing Director of General Atlantic LLC, a leading global private equity
firm. Kevin M. McNamara had resigned his position as Chairman of the Board of
Directors of MedAvant on January 31, 2006. Mr. McNamara has filled the
Chairman's position since December, 2004, and is leaving to focus on his newly
evolving responsibilities with his current employer. Another position became
available on the board in mid January when Mr. William Bennett, a distinguished
member of the Board of Directors since March 2004, passed away.

"We are actively recruiting for these two open positions on the board of
directors," said Braden R. Kelly. "Both Kevin and Bill have been instrumental in
MedAvant's many successes and they have laid the groundwork for our current
market momentum. Healthcare technology is in a period of monumental change and
we are excited about the company's position in this space. We'd like to add
Board members who bring the expertise, ingenuity, and perspective we need to
take this Company into its next phase."

"I am a big fan of the entire team at MedAvant," said Mr. McNamara. "I will
continue to be in touch with the executive team and will watch with anticipation
as the company continues in its new direction with much success." Before serving
as Chairman, Mr. McNamara served as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the
Board.

"With his background in the financial services sector, healthcare and EDI, Kevin
has been invaluable to this Board and we wish him the very best," said John
Lettko, CEO of MedAvant. "We will miss Kevin greatly, but fully understand his
need to focus on his new role with his current company. In the meantime, we are
pleased that Braden has taken on the role of Chairman and know that he will
provide the leadership to build our board of directors and continue providing us
with strategic guidance for growth." Mr. Kelly has been a board member of
MedAvant since April, 2002.
