Date:2/7/2008

MELVILLE, N.Y., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIV), the nation's leading provider of comprehensive home health services, announced today that its CareCentrix(R) ancillary care benefit management unit has signed an extension of its current national homecare contract with CIGNA HealthCare, which will provide for the coordination and delivery of homecare services to CIGNA members through January 31, 2011. The extension amends a previous agreement that was set to expire January 31, 2009.

CareCentrix has been the largest national provider of homecare and related services to CIGNA HealthCare members since 1996. The extension calls for CareCentrix to continue to coordinate the provision of direct home health services, including home infusion therapy services and certain specialty medical equipment, to CIGNA HealthCare members through the CareCentrix network of nearly 4,000 credentialed provider locations. For the first nine months of 2007, the CIGNA HealthCare relationship contributed approximately 19% of total Gentiva revenues of $915.9 million.

"CIGNA HealthCare and CareCentrix have enjoyed a longstanding and mutually beneficial relationship in the delivery of homecare services to CIGNA members," said Gentiva Chairman and CEO Ron Malone. "We're pleased that CIGNA HealthCare has once again recognized CareCentrix' excellence in care coordination and customer service by agreeing to this early contract extension. We're proud of the outstanding work performed each day by the CareCentrix team in serving all of its managed care customers."
