MedAssets to Provide Spend Management Solutions to RehabCare

ATLANTA, May 25, 2010 - MedAssets (NASDAQ: MDAS) announced today that it will provide its spend management solutions to RehabCare (NYSE: RHB), a national provider of long-term acute care and rehabilitation services, in order to drive cost savings and standardization in RehabCare's supply procurement process.

MedAssets is working with RehabCare to develop a spend management strategy designed to meet the specific commodity and operations needs of long-term and post-acute care providers in order to lower acquisition costs while maintaining its commitment to patient care. MedAssets will serve as RehabCare's primary group purchasing organization (GPO), using the Company's flexible contracting model to enhance efficiency and reduce costs across its entire supply chain. RehabCare will also be able to better analyze and control its pharmacy spend at all of its facilities using MedAssets' supply chain analytics solutions.

"MedAssets has a great reputation for helping healthcare providers lower costs and improve efficiency in supply chain operations," said Kevin Gross, senior vice president of operations for RehabCare. "We look forward to MedAssets providing tools and expertise to help us lower our acquisition costs and improve the efficiency of our procurement process."

Rand Ballard, MedAssets' chief operating officer and chief customer officer, stated, "Like many healthcare providers across the country, RehabCare is focused on controlling rising healthcare costs by lowering its supply costs and finding innovative ways to bring more efficiency to its supply chain. As a spend management partner for acute and non-acute healthcare providers, MedAssets looks forward to helping RehabCare reduce its supply costs."
