Administering More Than 180,000 Patient Visits Each Year, East Coast's

Largest Independent Clinical Lab Services Company Aspires to Empower

Patients with Control Over Medical Care

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MedeFile International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MDFI), a company specializing in portable electronic medical records management solutions, today announced that it has signed a collaborative marketing agreement with Hayes Clinical Laboratory, the largest independent clinical laboratory on Florida's East Coast.

With five locations in Southern Florida and a service region that covers primarily Palm Beach, Broward, Okeechobee, St. Lucie and Martin counties, Hayes Labs is a full service medical laboratory performing tests on all body fluids and tissue. Each year, Hayes administers more than 180,000 patient visits, most of which have been referred from its client base comprised of nearly 500 doctors and healthcare specialists.

Chad Fredrich, President of Hayes, noted, "We routinely see patients who are subjected to redundant clinical testing because they are under the care of physicians who are unaware of other medical providers that are also treating the patient for related or unrelated medical conditions and who have ordered similar tests. This unnecessary redundancy is costly to the patient and costly to the healthcare system. Moreover, insurance payers may refuse to approve payment for testing when patients have exceeded 'frequency limitations' allowable for clinical tests, resulting in our having to write off these billings as bad debt. In this case, testing redundancy is costly to our company. By empowering patients with MedeFile, they gain control over effectively managing their own medical records, can carry actual clinical test results with them wherever they go, and can optimize the care they receive from their treating physicians. We are very excited about teaming with MedeFile
