New Online Tool for Simplifying and Organizing Health Care
             Information Available to 1.6 Million Members
CLEVELAND & MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Medical Mutual of Ohio will offer Intuit Inc.'s (Nasdaq:INTU)
Quicken Health(SM) Expense Tracker to its 1.6 million members.

   Formerly named Quicken Health, Quicken Health Expense Tracker is
an online tool that will be available at no extra cost to Medical
Mutual members, helping them organize, understand and efficiently
manage their medical claims and bills.

   "Medical Mutual continues to be a leader in customer service,"
said Bob Mau, Medical Mutual vice president of eBusiness. "Offering
Quicken Health Expense Tracker is another cutting-edge tool that will
promote more cost-informed choices and greater satisfaction among our
members."

   The Quicken Health Group is working with Ingenix, a leading health
information technology company, to design Open Medical Exchange, or
OMX, the technology that will enable health plans to share health care
benefits and expense information with consumers, in compliance with
industry security and privacy regulations.

   Expected to be in market by the end of this year, Quicken Health
Expense Tracker has performed well in recent real-world consumer
tests. Results overwhelmingly confirmed that the product addresses
consumers' most important health care financial concerns, including
knowing what to pay and why, providing insight into health care
spending, helping find and fix errors, and making tax time easier.
Overall, product users reported increased confidence in their ability
to manage their health care expenses, make better decisions and know
what to do next.

   Crystal Foust, from Virginia Beach, Va., had an experience typical
of many first-time users. "I love it!" she said. "Quicken Health
Expense Tracker helps me manage my health care costs, see everything
in one place and just makes it less overwhelming. It's a breath of
fresh air and I can't wait for the final product."

   The addition of Medical Mutual and the successful user test are a
few of the many significant milestones that Intuit is reaching as it
moves closer to bringing this new product to market.

   "The addition of Medical Mutual of Ohio to the growing list of
health plans scheduled to offer Quicken Health Expense Tracker is very
exciting," said Peter Karpas, senior vice president and general
manager for Intuit's Quicken Health Group. "Our goal is to
fundamentally change the way people manage their health care, and it
starts with forward-thinking plans like Medical Mutual."
