NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – June 29, 2005 – TThe TriZetto Group Inc. (NASDAQ: TZIX) announced that it has signed a five-year software hosting agreement with Universal American Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: UHCO), whose subsidiaries provide Medicare supplemental health insurance and Medicare Advantage plans to seniors. TriZetto will host and manage an enterprise-wide IT solution on behalf of the customer, including Facets Extended Enterprise™, TriZetto's core administrative system, and the HealthWeb® eService and eEnroll Internet software components.

Recent Medicare reform has extended the role of health insurers and introduced new areas of competition. Medicare Part D, which begins next year, will provide beneficiaries with prescription drug coverage for the first time in Medicare's 40-year history. It will represent a new line of business for health plans that administer some of these plans.

"With the hosted model, we can begin benefiting from TriZetto's technology as quickly as possible," said Frederick Rook, CIO for Universal American. "This approach supports our goal of entering the Medicare Part D market ahead of our competition, while also paving the way for us to broaden our portfolio of senior healthcare products. We turned to TriZetto because of its proven track record with complex systems integration and administrative functionality."

According to Patricia Gorman, executive vice president of TriZetto's Business Solutions unit, the company's hosting, application management and business process outsourcing services can be an important strategic advantage, especially for plans facing new business requirements like Medicare prescription drug coverage.

"We're ready to assist organizations with updating their capabilities in order to meet regulatory requirements, address customer service demands, and accommodate membership growth. We have the technology and professional staff to offer healthcare payers a complete Medicare Part D solution that will allow them to compete in this new area, with speed-to-market and long-term administrative efficiencies."
