Heritage New York Medical Group Announces Partnership With QLIMG For HIP Patient Care
Pair to Manage QLIMG's 6000+ HIP VIP Medicare Plan Members in Suffolk County

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - JANUARY 22, 2001 - Heritage New York Medical Group (HNYMG), an affiliate of Heritage Medical Systems, one of the nation's most successful and largest physician owned and operated management companies, is partnering with Queens-Long Island Medical Group, P.C. (QLIMG) to manage more than 6,000 HIP VIP Medicare Plan members in Suffolk County.

"We believe that this alliance will be very positive for Suffolk seniors who have coverage under the HIP VIP Medicare Plan," says Michael Sparacino, Executive Administrator of QLIMG. "The combined experience of the two companies - QLIMG's in providing quality medical care for senior members, and Heritage's in managing medical delivery systems - will prove to be beneficial to seniors who join the HIP VIP Heritage/QLIMG network. We look forward to working closely with Heritage in order to enhance the care and service we offer to the Suffolk Medicare population."

For this patient base, HNYMG is now aligned with QLIMG, a well established group of physicians and staff who have provided high quality, convenient medical care to individuals and families living and working in Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties. QLIMG employs a "Center-based" healthcare delivery system, in which patients receive almost all of their primary and specialty medical care, as well as most standard tests, under one roof. QLIMG operates in twenty locations, including centers in Babylon and Ronkonkoma, to provide a wide range of services in virtually all of its medical centers.

"The partnership is an extraordinary opportunity for both HNYMG and QLIMG to service Suffolk County seniors," says Paul Alfaro, Senior Vice President of Administration for Heritage. "QLIMG's center-based healthcare delivery system, combined with Heritage's extensive network of physicians and hospitals, will enable HIP VIP member to access a network of the highest quality medical providers in the region."
