PURCHASE, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
IntegraMed America, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMD), the nation`s leading manager of
specialty outpatient healthcare facilities in the emerging, technology-focused
medical niches of fertility and vein care, today announced that it has expanded
its Attain IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) family of treatment financing offerings
to include the Attain IVF Multi-Cycle Program. 

The new Attain IVF Multi-Cycle Program was developed for patients who are
seeking a lower cost option to enter IVF treatment and provides them with up to
four IVF treatment cycles for one up-front discounted fee. The Attain IVF
Multi-Cycle also offers expanded patient eligibility standards, enabling the
enrollment of most patients who have been referred by their physician for IVF
treatment, including those who were not eligible for IntegraMed`s Attain IVF
Refund Program. 

Pamela Schumann, President of the Consumer Services Division of IntegraMed
commented, "We are very excited to further expand the array of treatment finance
offerings available through the IntegraMed Fertility Network and remain
committed to providing Attain IVF Program participants course-of-treatment
options and customer care support that will best help them improve their chances
of having children. 

"The lower cost Attain IVF Multi-Cycle program meets a growing patient need for
more affordable IVF treatment pricing. While not a refund program, Attain IVF
Multi-Cycle does provide an affordable alternative to pay-as-you-go treatment by
helping to eliminate the anxiety and worry often associated with the cost of IVF
treatment." 

The Attain Multi-Cycle Program is initially being offered at the following eight
IntegraMed Fertility Network practices and will be rolled out to the entire
network in the next few months:

* Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine 
* Center for Reproductive Medicine, Orlando 
* Cleveland Clinic 
* Dallas IVF 
* IVF Florida Reproductive Associates 
* Reproductive Endocrinology Associates of Charlotte 
* Reproductive Medicine Associates of Michigan 
* Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Pioneered by IntegraMed on a nationwide basis, the Attain IVF programs offer
several treatment financing alternatives that enable patients to better manage
the financial commitment associated with undergoing a series of IVF treatments.
For most IVF patients the Attain IVF programs present an opportunity to
significantly increase their chances of success by providing them with the
financial means to stay in treatment longer. For more information about the
