Physicians Healthcare Management Group Announces Spin Off of Phyhealth Corporation Into New Standalone, Fully Reporting Public Company

Restructuring Designed to Enhance Capital Structure and Provide Clean Vehicle to Support Planned Growth

MIAMI, Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Physicians Healthcare Management Group, Inc. ("PHYH") (Pink Sheets: PHYH), today announced that it has spun-off Phyhealth Corporation ("Phyhealth"), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of PHYH, into a standalone, fully reporting public company that will be traded under the symbol PYHH on the Over-the-Counter "OTCQB", Exchange, the middle tier of the OTC market reserved for SEC registered and reporting companies.  Following the spin-off, both Phyhealth and PHYH will be independent, publicly traded companies. PHYH will continue to be traded on the Over-the-Counter Pink Sheets.

As a result of the spin-off, all PHYH's common and preferred shareholders will receive one (1) share of Phyhealth for every fifty (50) shares of PHYH held as of November 8, 2010.  Phyhealth expects to issue 3,131,599 common shares, 3,240,008 Series A Preferred Convertible Shares and 622,332 Series B Preferred Convertible Shares to the PHYH shareholders on a prorata basis.  PHYH will retain 3,472,713 shares of Phyhealth common stock.

As a result of the spin-off, Phyhealth will assume all the businesses, assets and liabilities of PHYH and accordingly, PHYH post-spin-off will have no business, assets or liabilities other than the equity interest in the newly spun-off Phyhealth and $50,000 in cash.  

Robert Trinka, Phyhealth's CEO, stated, "After more than a year in process, we are pleased the spin-off registration has been declared effective on November 9, 2010.  We are very excited about the opportunities the company can now pursue under the new structure.  Given the initiatives we have underway, we believe this restructuring will enhance our capital structure for the benefit of investors and better enable us to seize upon the opportunities in the fast-evolving healthcare market place."  

"As a result of the restructuring, our business model remains unchanged, and consists of developing community health plans in partnership with physicians.  The restructuring removes a barrier for obtaining regulatory approval to receive an HMO Certificate of Authority and gives us a platform on which the Company can raise the additional funds needed to implement our community health plan model."

Phyhealth also offers, through its subsidiary, Phyhealth Underwriters, Inc. ("Underwriters") and its affiliate Physhield Insurance Exchange, a Risk Retention Group ("Physhield"), medical professional liability insurance (medical malpractice) to physicians.

Mr. Trinka continued, "Complementary to our community health plan model, we are marketing our Physhield medical malpractice insurance program aimed at qualified physicians and physician groups.  The Physhield program provides an immediate revenue opportunity, and we plan to develop Physhield as an independent business segment.  Physhield has now been registered and authorized to do business in Maryland, the District of Columbia, Nevada, Texas, California and Florida.   We are aggressively marketing Physhield in Maryland and DC through our Managing General Agent, Palumbo & Associates.  We are pleased with the strong early response to our marketing initiative and expect to underwrite physicians and generate premium revenue in the first quarter of 2011."

The trading of PYHH stock is expected to begin shortly through Spartan Securities Group, Ltd., the initial market maker.  All stockholders and their brokers are encouraged to contact Mr. Harry Jameson, Managing Partner, directly at 727-502-0508 concerning PYHH transactions.  

Investors are encouraged to review the company's Form 424B3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2010.  The filing is available in its entirety at:
