PRESS RELEASE
Techniker Krankenkasse continues to place its trust in the Verax list to
      guard against chip card misuse
Coblenz - 02nd October 2007:  CompuGROUP Holding AG, a leading European E-
      health supplier  announces  another  success  of  one  of  its  innovative
      products in the business field for the  cost  bearers  of  the  healthcare
      system: the Techniker Krankenkasse has its contract concerning the use  of
      the Verax list, a software solution for combating the occurrence of  fraud
      in connection with patient insurance cards, through to 31st December 2008.
      Care services and support to the Techniker Krankenkasse  are  provided  by
      the CompuGROUP subsidiary GTI AG.
The Verax list is software for contract  data  and  supplementary  payment
      management,  jointly  developed  by  CompuGROUP  and  HABA   Computer   AG
      (Hamburg). Verax is divided into a  positive  and  a  negative  list.  The
      negative list identifies cards belonging to patients who change  insurance
      company, lost, stolen or misplaced cards as well as cards that  have  been
      replaced by a new one. The  positive  list  checks  whether  a  particular
      patient really is exempt from the requirement to pay supplemental charges.
      In  collaboration  with  its  cooperation  partners,  CompuGROUP  achieves
      coverage of over 100,000 doctors' surgeries in  Germany  with  Verax.  The
      Verax list is also used in dental surgeries and hospitals.
The fraudulent use of patients' health insurance cards has long  become  a
      significant economic factor within the German healthcare  system:  illegal
      use of invalid cards as well as fraud relating to  supplementary  payments
      deprives the system of around one billion euros per  year.  The  Techniker
      Krankenkasse was the  first  large  German  health  insurance  company  to
      recognise the benefit  of  innovative  E-health  technology  in  combating
      fraud, and has been using the Verax list since 2004, a step  that  results
      in annual savings of over 40 million euros.
"This contract extension with the Techniker Krankenkasse demonstrates once
      again that our  development  of  Verax  has  produced  an  innovative  and
      dependable technology that has gained a high degree of  trust  within  the
      cost bearer domain due to its successful use.  E-health  technologies  are
      the key to  huge  savings  and  efficiency  increases  within  the  German
      healthcare system - for which the Verax list provides  daily,  in-practice
      proof," highlights Jan Broer, executive board  member  for  networking  at
      CompuGROUP Holding AG.
"We decided in favour of the Verax list because the application paid for
      itself within just a short period of time. The money that we paid out for
      the software and the introduction of the  Verax list  has long since been
      recouped through the avoidance of fraud," emphasises  Dr. Frank Verheyen,
      responsible for the Veray list and pharmacy invoicing at the Techniker
      Krankenkasse.
