July 1, 2003 -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Pharmacy SmartCard is Now Available for Sale by Not-For-Profit Organizations as a Fund Raising Tool.

BoysTown, NE July 1, 2003 - Traditionally, The Pharmacy SmartCard, from
Pharmaceutical Technologies, Inc. and the National Pharmaceutical Services,(NPS),network has only been available for sale through Retail Pharmacy sites and insurance plans. Recently, www.smartrxcard.com and PTI-NPS have joined to market a non-insured version of The Pharmacy SmartCard for sale directly to through Not-For-Profit organizations. 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.  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 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 twice a year!

We would also like to introduce the idea of private labeling The Pharmacy SmartCard for "Not For Profit" organizations as a fund raising tool.  We have developed special pricing for Not for Profit organizations so that they may offer this valuable money saving service to their members and generate non dues or fees income to be used to advance the goals of the organization.  The organization does not need to carry an inventory as we can ship on demand, provide "print on demand" technology with blank kit stock, and/or provide web store integration assistance.  We have developed advertising programs with companies such as Val-Pak and would be interested in exploring joint advertising opportunities

The 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
"Proof of Savings Report" to the customer 2 times per year. 50,000
pharmacists nationwide already accept The Pharmacy SmartCard. ###
