    ALPHARETTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2005--Per-Se Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq: PSTI), the leader in Connective Healthcare solutions that
help physicians and hospitals realize their financial goals, today
announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a policy authorizing
stock trading plans that comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.
    Rule 10b5-1 stock trading plans provide for pre-determined future
purchases or sales of Company stock, or the exercise of stock options,
according to pre-determined pricing criteria. Insiders may enter into
Rule 10b5-1 plans only when they are not in possession of material,
nonpublic information. The plans are designed to allow insiders to
gradually diversify their investment portfolios, to minimize the
market effect of stock trades by spreading them over time in a
systematic manner, and to avoid concerns about initiating stock trades
outside of the traditional trading "windows."
