Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     On November 5, 2004, ProxyMed, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Additionally, on November 5, 2004, the Company held a teleconference call to report its financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. A transcript of the call, excluding questions from participants and answers from management is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report of Form 8-K.

     The press release includes one or more non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G. With respect to each non-GAAP measure, the Company has disclosed the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented it in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, provide a meaningful measure of operating performance, especially relative to other competitors in the healthcare IT industry.

     In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in any such a filing.

     FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS — This document contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current assumptions and expectations regarding future events. While these statements reflect the Company’s current judgment, they are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly from projected results due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the soundness of our business strategies relative to the perceived market opportunities; ProxyMed’s ability to continue to integrate the operations of PlanVista into its existing operations; the ability to identify suitable future acquisition candidates; the ability to successfully integrate any future acquisitions; ProxyMed’s ability to successfully develop, market, sell, cross-sell, install and upgrade its clinical and financial transaction services and applications to current and new physicians,

payers, medical laboratories and pharmacies; the ability to compete effectively on price and support services; ProxyMed’s assessment of the healthcare industry’s need, desire and ability to become technology efficient; ProxyMed’s ability to win and expand business based on the Company’s web-based self-service tools and flexible business model; and ProxyMed’s ability and that of its business associates to comply with various government rules regarding healthcare and patient privacy. For further cautions about the risks of investing in ProxyMed, we refer you to the documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and ProxyMed’s registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the merger with PlanVista, which we strongly urge you to read. ProxyMed expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believes”, “estimated”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
