Advantage Healthcare Net to market PrimeCare on the Web

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Rochelle, N.Y. – January 2 , 2001 - OCG Technology, Inc. (OTC BB: "OCGT") announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, PrimeCare Systems, Inc. ("PSI"), has contracted with Hospital Services, Inc., d/b/a Advantage Healthcare Net ("AHN") to integrate three of PSI's Web sites (the "PSI sites"). The web sites, PrimeCareOnTheWeb.com, YourOwnDoctor.com.com, and YourOwnHealth.com, will be linked into AHN's intranet for use by AHN's membership, consisting of approximately 260 health care provider organizations and their staffs, and including more than 2,500 physicians. AHN will market to and encourage use of the PSI sites by their Member organizations. AHN will also arrange training to be conducted by PSI personnel for their Members.

Don Speare, Director of Marketing of AHN stated, "As a service organization, we seek quality products that will benefit and aid our Members. The PSI sites meet that criteria. Physicians are under ever increasing pressure to see more patients and in some cases, a patient every six to ten minutes. This makes it more difficult for physicians to develop a patient's detailed history of present illness ("HPI"). Use of PrimeCareOnTheWeb.com will enable our Members' physicians to obtain a detailed HPI, accompanied by a list of diagnostic possibilities, derived from the patient's answering PCW's problem-specific questionnaires via AHN's intranet. This is accomplished prior to the patient's coming to the office, and without requiring any physician time. PCW also creates significant other benefits for the physician. It eliminates the need for and cost of dictation and transcription of the HPI, automatically calculates HCFA's Evaluation & Management code for "Patient History" and supporting data for the "Complexity of Decision Making" for HCFA and other third party reimbursement, reduces the risk of malpractice liability due to errors of omission, and will be a source of added income for AHN Members from their use of the PSI sites."

"AHN's recognition of the value and benefits of the PSI sites is another step forward in our program to expand their application and use. This arrangement makes our patient-interactive medical questionnaires immediately available to all of AHN's approximately 260 Members and their more than 2,500 physicians," stated Jeff Nelson, Vice President of OCGT. "In addition to the many benefits provided to physicians from their use of the PSI sites, we have agreed to give AHN's Members a share of the advertising revenues generated from their use of the PSI sites. This new marketing approach is designed to stimulate and accelerate the use of the PSI sites."

AHN, a group purchasing organization covering North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and eastern Montana, is a Strategic Marketing Affiliate of Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health Care, one of three shareholders of AmeriNet, the nation's largest membership-based healthcare group purchasing organization. AmeriNet is located in all 50 states and has a combined membership of 14,790 facilities. AHN's affiliation with IHC and AmeriNet could lead to additional marketing relationships for the PSI sites. AHN is a wholly owned subsidiary of the North Dakota Healthcare Association, a nonprofit membership organization based in Bismarck, ND.

YourOwnDoctor.com.com ("YOD") will provide free individual Web sites for each AHN Member and its physicians that enable them to promote their services. YOD also provides a direct link to YourOwnHealth.com ("YOH"), a free health and wellness site for consumers that enables them to securely and anonymously select and complete HPI Questionnaires and to store the completed questionnaires in personal YourOwnHealth™ Notebooks, a secure depository within the site for the storage of personal and family medical data that can be accessed only through registered IDs and passwords.

OCGT and PSI have an extensive commitment to healthcare software and informatics technology. They own, maintain, and operate several Internet Web sites based upon PSI's PrimeCare™ Patient Management System: YourOwnHealth.com, YourOwnDoctor.com.com, and http://www.PrimeCareOnTheWeb.com. All of PSI's products actively involve consumers in their own healthcare. For more information, visit PrimeCare's corporate web site at http://www.pcare.com.
