The Pharmacy SmartCard is Now Available for Sale Directly to Consumers

BoysTown, NE July 1, 2003 - Traditionally, The Pharmacy SmartCard, from
Pharmaceutical Technologies, Inc. and the National Pharmaceutical Network (NPS),
has only been available for sale through Retail Pharmacy sites and insurance plans.
Recently, www.smartrxcard.com has joined with PTI-NPS to market a non-insured
version of The Pharmacy SmartCard for sale directly to consumers. Physician groups
and Pharmacy owners have helped to develop this unique program called The
Pharmacy SmartCard so that now consumers can have the same advantage as the
insurance companies when paying for prescriptions. This program called The
Pharmacy SmartCard will price check your prescription drugs in order to approve the
amount paid at the pharmacy to the lowest possible price. The program will instantly
notify the pharmacy of alternatives that may provide greater savings for the consumer
without sacrificing any quality.

"The company has been in business for over 10 years and there are over 1.4 million
people currently using our Pharmacy SmartCard programs. With prescription costs
going up and President Bush's and Congress's proposals leaving most people feeling
like there is no relief in sight, NPS pharmacy providers thought it was time to give the
same advantages the insurance companies enjoy, directly to the consumer", said Mr.
Doug Pick, Pharmacist and President of Pharmaceutical Technologies, Inc. "We have
a track record in which we can prove an average savings of $270 per Pharmacy
SmartCard per year", he said. The savings are from using effective generic products
manufactured and stored here in the United States and physician support of the
preferred brand drugs while using community pharmacy practice sites. These
solutions are proven to the consumer with direct to the home healthcare reporting!

To celebrate the Grand Opening of the website store www.smartrxcard.com and
Independence Day, the store wants to grant everyone "Independence From High
Pharmaceutical Prices" by offering a special discount. Simply enter "asrxjuly4th" in the
marketing code box of the shopping cart to receive a special discounted price. One
Pharmacy SmartCard covers the whole family for a whole year; no limits, Brand and
Generic drugs will be automatically repriced at the pharmacist counter. PTI will mail a
"Personal Proof of Savings Report" to the customer 2 times per year. 50,000
pharmacists nationwide already accept The Pharmacy SmartCard. ###
