LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- PracticeXpert, Inc. (OTCBB:PXPT), today announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire a medical billing and practice management company located in the south eastern United States.

This south eastern medical billing company has been in business since 1983, is headed by industry leading medical billing and practice management experts and currently services approximately 30 physicians. Revenues in its most recent fiscal year were approximately $2.5 million. The transaction is expected to close prior to October 31, 2004, subject to completion of due diligence and the signing of a definitive agreement.

Jonathan Doctor, chief executive officer of PracticeXpert, stated, "As previously stated, our objective is to grow PracticeXpert both through our internal sales and marketing efforts, and through the acquisition of what we consider industry leading, best of breed medical billing and practice management companies.
