               Pediatrix Reports Revenues for 2006 Third Quarter,
                        Same-Unit Growth of 15.6 Percent


     FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2006--Pediatrix Medical
Group, Inc. (NYSE:PDX) today reported revenues for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2006. Additional financial results will be issued
upon completion of a review of the Company's historic stock option practices
that was announced in August 2006.

     For the three months ended September 30, 2006, Pediatrix reported net
patient service revenue of $215.8 million, up 21 percent from $178.1 million for
the same period of 2005.

     The increased revenue was the result of same-unit revenue growth of 15.6
percent, as well as contributions from acquisitions. Same-unit revenue growth
included the favorable impact of a new billing code for neonatal physician
services introduced this year, improved reimbursement from commercial payors,
and increased patient service volume from neonatal, maternal-fetal medicine and
pediatric cardiology physician subspecialty practices. Patient volume at
neonatal intensive care units staffed by Pediatrix physicians increased by 3.2
percent for the 2006 third quarter when compared to the 2005 third quarter.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Pediatrix had net patient
service revenue of $607.2 million, up 18 percent from the prior-year period.

     At September 30, 2006, Pediatrix had cash and equivalents of $62.5 million,
and net accounts receivable of $119.9 million. The Company's cash position
reflects the payment of $25.1 million to settle the previously announced
Medicaid and TRICARE investigation. Pediatrix had no amounts outstanding under
its $225 million revolving credit facility at the end of the 2006 third quarter.

     Pediatrix has invested $90.8 million of its cash to acquire eight physician
group practices during 2006 year to date.
