On November 20, 2003, Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (the "Company") issued a
press release (the "Press Release") announcing that its Nevada perinatal
practice was served with a search warrant by the State of Nevada. The warrant

rendered in Nevada since January 1, 2000. Medicaid payments to this perinatal
physician practice represented approximately two-tenths of a percent of the
Company's 2002 net patient service revenue

intends to follow its long-standing practice of cooperating fully with
regulatory agencies. The Company believes that its billing practices are
appropriate. The Press Release is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated
by reference.
