PROXY STATEMENT

 

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2005

      This Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished to stockholders of WebMD Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors from holders of outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and holders of outstanding shares of our Convertible Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which we refer to as our convertible preferred stock, for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on September 29, 2005, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the Sheraton Crossroads Hotel, 12th Floor, One International Boulevard, Mahwah, New Jersey 07495, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The date of this Proxy Statement is August [          ], 2005 and it and a form of proxy are first being mailed or otherwise delivered to stockholders on or about August [          ], 2005.

PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

      The following proposals will be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting:

      Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each the nominees for director listed in Proposal 1 and “FOR” each of Proposals 2 and 3.

VOTING RIGHTS AND RELATED MATTERS

      Please complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy and promptly return it in the enclosed envelope or otherwise mail it to us. All properly signed proxies that we receive prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting and that are not revoked will be voted (or withheld from voting, as the case may be) at

the Annual Meeting according to the instructions indicated on the proxies or, if no direction is indicated, as follows:

None of the proposals requires the approval of any other proposal to become effective.

      A stockholder may revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by taking any of the following actions:

      Please note, however, that if a stockholder’s shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting, the stockholder must bring to the meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming the stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the shares.

      Our Board of Directors does not know of any matter that is not referred to herein to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the persons named in the proxies will have discretion to vote on these matters in accordance with their judgment.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares

      Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on August 5, 2005 as the record date for the determination of our stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at our Annual Meeting. Only holders of record of our stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.

      As of the close of business on the record date, there were [          ] shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote held of record by approximately [          ] stockholders, although we believe that there are approximately [          ] beneficial owners of our common stock. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 10,000 shares of our convertible preferred stock outstanding and entitled to vote held of record by one stockholder. The 10,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding as of the record date are convertible into 10,638,297 shares of our common stock in the aggregate.

      No other voting securities of WebMD are outstanding.

Vote and Quorum Required

      Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held as of the record date. Holders of our convertible preferred stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on an as converted to common stock basis. Votes may be cast either in person or by properly executed proxy.

      The presence, in person or by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the meeting. For purposes of determining the voting power of our shares, the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock is equal to the [          ] shares of common stock outstanding, and the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock is equal to the 10,638,297 shares of common stock into which those shares of convertible preferred stock are convertible. Abstentions will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Shares held by nominees for beneficial owners will also be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present if the nominee has the discretion to vote on at least one of the matters presented and even though the nominee may not exercise discretionary voting power with respect to other matters and voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner (sometimes referred to as a broker non-vote). If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

      Proposal 1 (Election of Directors). Election of directors is by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting with respect to such election. Accordingly, the two nominees receiving the greatest number of votes for their election will be elected. Abstentions, broker non-votes and instructions on the accompanying proxy card to withhold authority to vote for a nominee will result in that nominee receiving fewer votes for election.

      Proposal 2 (Amendment to the WebMD Charter to Change Our Corporate Name to Emdeon Corporation). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares outstanding as of the record date is required to approve the amendment of the WebMD Charter described in Proposal 2. An abstention or broker non-vote with respect to Proposal 2 will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 2 because it is one less vote for approval.

      Proposal 3 (Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to serve as WebMD’s independent auditor described in Proposal 3. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to Proposal 3 will not be considered votes cast for or against such ratification and, accordingly, will have no impact on the outcome of the vote with respect to Proposal 3.

Expenses of Proxy Solicitation

      We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies from our stockholders to be voted at the Annual Meeting and the cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement to our stockholders. Following the original mailing of this Proxy Statement and other soliciting materials, we and our agents also may solicit proxies by mail, telephone, facsimile or in person. In addition, proxies may be solicited from our stockholders by our directors, officers and employees in person or by telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. These officers, directors and employees will not be additionally compensated but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the solicitation. Following the original mailing of this Proxy Statement and other soliciting materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders of our common stock to forward copies of this Proxy Statement and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares of our common stock and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In these cases, we will, upon the request of the record holders, reimburse these holders for their reasonable expenses. We have retained Innisfree M&A Incorporated, a proxy solicitation firm, for assistance in connection with the solicitation of proxies for our Annual Meeting at a cost of approximately $6,500 plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

No Appraisal Rights

      Holders of our common stock and convertible preferred stock are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

      Our Board of Directors has eight members. Two of the members are also employees of WebMD: Mr. Cameron, our Chief Executive Officer; and Mr. Wygod, Chairman of the Board. Six of the members are non-employee directors: Dr. Adler and Messrs. Brooke, Dimick, Manning, Sarkowsky and Smith. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the non-employee directors is also an independent director under applicable SEC rules and NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards. The non-employee directors meet regularly without any employee directors or other WebMD employees present.

      Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, two of which currently have three directors and one of which has two directors. At each Annual Meeting, the term of one of the classes of directors expires and WebMD stockholders vote to elect nominees for the directorships in that class for a new three-year term.

      At this year’s Annual Meeting, the terms of the two Class I directors, Neil F. Dimick and Joseph E. Smith, will expire. The Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee of the Board, has nominated Messrs. Dimick and Smith for re-election at the Annual Meeting, to serve for a three-year term expiring at our Annual Meeting in 2008 and until his successor is elected and has qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.

      The persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote for the election of Messrs. Dimick and Smith, unless you indicate on the proxy card that your vote should be withheld.

      Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of these nominees as directors.

      We have inquired of each nominee and have determined that each will serve if elected. While our Board of Directors does not anticipate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve, if any nominee is not able to serve, proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee unless the Board of Directors chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board.

Information Regarding the Nominees and Continuing Directors

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Introduction

      The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is composed exclusively of non-employee, independent directors. For 2004, the members of the Compensation Committee were and continue to be Mark J. Adler, M.D., Herman Sarkowsky and Joseph E. Smith. Dr. Adler is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation program for the Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include:

In addition, in connection with the contemplated initial public offering of WebMD Health Corp. and until such time as a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of WebMD Health Corp. is formed, WebMD Corporation’s Compensation Committee is expected to perform similar functions for WebMD Health Corp. based upon a similar compensation philosophy.

Summary of Compensation Policies

      The Compensation Committee’s guiding philosophy is to establish a compensation program that is:

Based on these policies and programs, the Compensation Committee determines the compensation of WebMD’s executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. Policies and procedures similar to those used by the Compensation Committee for making such determinations are also used by WebMD senior management in making determinations regarding the compensation of officers and managers who are not executive officers.

Program Elements

      The salaries, bonuses and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers are determined by the Compensation Committee:

      Base Salary. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee reviews the base salary of our executive officers, weighing the factors described in the preceding paragraph. Any increase in the salary of our executive officers is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, except as may otherwise be provided in an employment agreement previously approved by the Compensation Committee. During 2004, none of the executive officers received an increase in base salary, other than the October 2004 increases received by:

In addition, in April 2005, subsequent to the resignation of Mr. Holstein as Chief Executive Officer of our WebMD Health segment, Mr. Gattinella received a salary increase to $560,000 upon being named as Co-Chief Executive Officer and President of WebMD Health. He currently serves as WebMD Health’s sole Chief Executive Officer.

      Annual Incentive Awards. WebMD provides executives with the opportunity to earn performance-based cash awards through an annual cash bonus. With respect to WebMD’s executive officers, these annual bonuses are discretionary and are determined by the Compensation Committee based upon their assessment of company and individual performance. In some cases, individual target awards are established for each executive officer, expressed as a percentage of the executive’s base salary. These target percentages vary based on the nature and scope of the executive officer’s responsibilities and competitive market practice. In some cases, particularly with respect to newly hired executive officers, bonus awards may be dictated by the terms of the executive’s employment agreement, providing for payment of a specified bonus amount or an amount within a specific range with respect to the first year of employment. No pre-established performance targets were used in determining bonus amounts for executive officers for 2004; the Compensation Committee determined such amounts based on its assessment of the performance of WebMD and its business segments in 2004 and of each executive officer’s individual performance and contributions during the year.

      Long-Term Incentives. The Compensation Committee continues to view equity-based compensation that is subject to vesting requirements as an effective way to ensure that employees have a continuing stake in the long-term success of our company. These long-term incentives are granted to reward employees for increasing stockholder value and to promote retention of employees over the long-term. Up until 2004, WebMD used stock options, almost exclusively, to provide long-term incentive compensation. However, in March 2004, WebMD granted a combination of stock options and restricted stock to key senior executives.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer

      In October 2004, Mr. Cameron was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of WebMD and received an increase in annual salary from $450,000 to $660,000. Upon his appointment as CEO, Mr. Cameron received a grant of options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.99 per share and a grant of 275,000 shares of restricted stock. The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Cameron’s compensation arrangements (more fully discussed under “Executive Compensation,” including under “Compensation Arrangements with Executive Officers — Arrangements with Kevin Cameron”) are appropriate in light of his increased responsibilities. In addition, prior to his becoming CEO, Mr. Cameron received an option grant to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.59 and a grant of 30,000 shares of restricted stock, each as part of the March 2004 grants to executives and other employees described above under “— Program Elements — Long-Term Incentives.”

      Under the employment agreement between Mr. Cameron and WebMD, he is eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to 100% of his base salary. For the fiscal years ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, the employment agreement provides that the amount of that bonus will be determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For subsequent years, the agreement provides that the amount of the bonus will be based upon performance goals to be approved by the Compensation Committee with respect to each such year. It was determined by the Compensation Committee that, for 2004, Mr. Cameron should receive a bonus of $402,000. No pre-established performance targets were used in determining this amount, which was determined by the Compensation Committee based on its assessment of the performance of WebMD and its business segments in 2004 and Mr. Cameron’s contributions during the year, both before and after he became Chief Executive Officer.

      From May 2003, through September 2004, Mr. Holstein served as our Chief Executive Officer and received a base salary of $1,000,000 during that time. Subsequently, from October 2004 to his resignation in April 2005, Mr. Holstein served as CEO of our WebMD Health segment, earning a salary of $660,000. As CEO of WebMD and CEO of WebMD Health, Mr. Holstein was eligible to receive an annual bonus, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, of up to 100% of his base salary. It was determined by the Compensation Committee that, for 2004, Mr. Holstein should receive a bonus of $402,000. No pre-established performance targets were used in determining this amount, which was determined by the Compensation Committee based on its assessment of the performance of WebMD and its business segments in 2004 and Mr. Holstein’s contributions during the year, both before and after he ceased to be our Chief Executive Officer.

      Mr. Holstein resigned from all positions with WebMD and its subsidiaries effective April 27, 2005. Pursuant to a letter agreement between WebMD and Mr. Holstein dated April 27, 2005 that was approved by the Compensation Committee and is more fully discussed under “Compensation Arrangements with Executive Officers — Arrangements with Roger C. Holstein,” Mr. Holstein is entitled to receive an amount equal to his annual base salary until October 27, 2007 and welfare benefits for that same period, unless he receives comparable coverage under another plan. In addition, his options to purchase WebMD common stock will remain outstanding and continue to vest through April 27, 2007. His unvested restricted stock was forfeited at the time of his resignation.

Policies and Practices Relating to Section 162(m)

      Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the ability of a publicly held corporation to deduct compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers. It is the policy of the Compensation Committee to comply, where practicable, with Section 162(m) of the Code so as to maximize the tax deductibility of compensation paid to its top executive officers. Accordingly, WebMD’s stock option plans under which awards are made to officers and directors are currently designed to ensure that compensation attributable to options granted will be tax deductible by WebMD. However, the Compensation Committee recognizes that the restricted stock grants made in March 2004 do not comply with Section 162(m) and such grants, together with other compensation to these officers, may exceed the limits on deductibility over the next three years. In addition, $260,000 of the $1,260,000 salary that Mr. Wygod received exceeded the limits on deductibility during 2004 and a portion will exceed these limits in 2005. For the reasons stated in this Report, the Compensation Committee believes that such arrangements and the restricted stock grants are in the best interests of WebMD and its stockholders. With the exceptions listed above, no executive officer’s compensation exceeded the limits on deductible compensation during 2004 and the Compensation Committee does not expect that the compensation from WebMD to any executive officer during 2005 will exceed these limits other than for Mr. Wygod and perhaps Messrs. Cameron and Gattinella based upon their bonus potential.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

      The current members of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors are Mark J. Adler, M.D., Herman Sarkowsky and Joseph E. Smith.

      No interlocking relationship exists between our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the past.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

      The current members of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors are Paul A. Brooke, James V. Manning and Joseph E. Smith and Mr. Manning is the Chairman. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which is included as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

      This report reviews the actions taken by the Audit Committee with regard to our financial reporting process for 2004 and particularly with regard to our audited consolidated financial statements and the related schedule included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

      Our management has the primary responsibility for WebMD’s financial statements and reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. Our independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and the related schedule in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and issuing a report thereon and a report on management’s assessment and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. In carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to WebMD’s financial statements or systems of internal controls or any professional certification as to the independent auditors’ work. The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that, during the course of each fiscal year, it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to fulfill its oversight responsibilities under the Audit Committee’s charter.

      In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements and the Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Report included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed with WebMD’s independent auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, rather than just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, other standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) SEC rules, and other professional standards. The Audit Committee also reviewed with Ernst &Young, the “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young their independence

from management and WebMD, including the matters in the written disclosures required of Ernst & Young by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as adopted, on an interim basis, by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board pursuant to Rule 3600T. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of audit-related services (see “Independent Auditors — Services and Fees of Ernst & Young” above) during 2004 by Ernst & Young is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young’s independence.

      Additionally, the Audit Committee discussed with our independent auditors the overall scope and plan for their audit of our financial statements and their audits of our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of WebMD’s internal controls and the overall quality of WebMD’s financial reporting.

      In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the audited financial statements and related schedule and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of WebMD’s internal control over financial reporting be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also approved the retention of Ernst & Young as our independent auditors for 2005 and as WebMD Health Corp.’s independent auditors for 2005.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      On April 6, 2001, we loaned $1,450,000 to K. Robert Draughon, who has been Executive Vice President, Business Development of WebMD Corporation and is transitioning to the role of Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, of WebMD Health in August 2005. The funds were advanced pursuant to a promissory note bearing interest at the fixed rate per annum of 4.63%. The loan is full recourse and is secured by a pledge by Mr. Draughon of all shares of WebMD common stock owned by him and all options to purchase shares of WebMD common stock owned by him. As of July 21, 2005, approximately $107,000 of the principal amount and approximately $12,200 of accrued interest were outstanding. The largest amount outstanding during 2004 was $116,437.

      We were reimbursed approximately $236,000 during 2004 and approximately $230,000 during 2003 by Martin J. Wygod, our Chairman of the Board, and a corporation that he controls, for personal use of certain of our staff and office facilities and for the personal portion of certain travel expenses.

      We lease property in Alachua, Florida that is owned by a corporation controlled by Michael A. Singer, a former executive officer of WebMD and a former member of our Board of Directors, and a member of his family. We are responsible for all real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance relating to the property. The term of the lease is through March 31, 2009. During 2004, the aggregate amount of rent payable under the lease was approximately $1,203,000. During 2003, the aggregate amount of rent payable under the lease was approximately $1,087,000.

      Mark J. Adler, M.D., a non-employee director of our company, is a partner in a group medical practice that is a customer of Emdeon Practice Services. The practice purchases products and services on terms generally available, in the ordinary course of our business, to similar customers. During 2004, the aggregate amount payable to Emdeon Practice Services by this practice was approximately $19,000. During 2003, the aggregate amount payable to Emdeon Practice Services by this practice was approximately $73,000.

      On December 15, 2003, in connection with our initial employment of Tony G. Holcombe, who is currently President of WebMD, we entered into an agreement that allowed him to require WebMD to purchase from him certain shares of stock of his prior employer. The agreement expired on January 15, 2005, without any purchases being made by WebMD.

      Affiliates of FMR Corp. provide services to us in connection with certain of our 401(k) plans. During 2004, the aggregate amount payable by us for these services was approximately $43,800. During 2003, the aggregate amount payable by us for these services was approximately $64,500. In 2004, WebMD Health entered into an agreement with Fidelity Human Resources Services LLC (FHRS) (formerly known as Fidelity Employer Services Company LLC), an affiliate of FMR Corp. FHRS provides benefits and human resources administration, workforce effectiveness, payroll solutions and stock plan services to employers. The agreement provides for FHRS to integrate WebMD Health’s employer product, Health and Benefits Manager, into the services FHRS provides to its clients. In addition, WebMD Health’s Health and Benefits Manager has been rolled out to the Fidelity employee base. WebMD recorded approximately $817,000 in revenue in 2004 related to the FHRS agreement.

PROPOSAL 2:

AMENDMENT OF THE WEBMD CHARTER

TO CHANGE THE CORPORATE NAME OF WEBMD TO EMDEON CORPORATION

      Our WebMD Health segment is a leading provider of health information services for consumers, physicians, healthcare professionals, employers and health plans through its public and private online portals and health-focused publications. As previously announced, WebMD Health Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary formed by us to be a holding company for our WebMD Health segment, has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with respect to an initial public offering of its Class A common stock, which would have one vote per share. We expect that WebMD Health will sell between 10% and 14% of its equity to the public in the offering. We would own the remaining equity of WebMD Health in the form of Class B common stock, which would have ten votes per share, and would control WebMD Health. The timing for the sale has not yet been determined.

      WebMD Health Corp. was originally incorporated under the name WebMD Health Holdings, Inc. and is referred to in this Proposal 2 as WebMD Health. Because the “WebMD” name has been more closely associated with WebMD Health’s business and its Web sites than with our other businesses, our Board of Directors has determined that WebMD Health will, following its initial public offering, have the sole right to use the name “WebMD” and related trademarks and that our other businesses will cease to use that name except, under a temporary license from WebMD Health, as needed for an orderly transition. We believed that the “WebMD” name was not strongly associated with any of our other businesses, none of which has had a long history of using the name. In addition, we believed that not only would the businesses included in our WebMD Practice Services and WebMD Business Services segments not be harmed by ceasing to use “WebMD” as a brand, they would be likely to benefit from use of new branding and related marketing campaigns that emphasize the breadth of the product and service offerings of those businesses. Many of the products and services of those businesses have not been associated by customers with the “WebMD” name, but instead have been associated with names of companies that we acquired, including ABF, Medifax and ExpressBill. Accordingly, in August 2005, we began to use Emdeon in the names of those segments. We are also using Emdeon as a brand for many of the products and services of those segments. There has not been any change in the name of our Porex segment or its branding.

      To reflect the branding changes at Emdeon Practice Services and Emdeon Business Services and to avoid confusion between our company and WebMD Health following its initial public offering, our Board of Directors has determined that it is advisable and in the best interest of our company to change its corporate name from “WebMD Corporation” to “Emdeon Corporation.”

      If Proposal 2 is approved by our stockholders, we plan to file a Certificate of Amendment to the WebMD Charter. Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, Article I of the WebMD Charter will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

      “The name of this corporation is Emdeon Corporation.”

      Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of Proposal 2.

      If the amendment to the WebMD Charter is adopted, WebMD stockholders will not be required to exchange outstanding stock certificates for WebMD common stock or convertible preferred stock for new Emdeon stock certificates.

      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and notwithstanding stockholder approval of Proposal 2, our Board of Directors may abandon such amendment to the WebMD Charter prior to its effectiveness under applicable law.

PROPOSAL 3:

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

      The Audit Committee has appointed the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to be WebMD’s independent auditor for the current fiscal year and, with the endorsement of the Board of Directors, recommends to stockholders that they ratify that appointment. Ernst & Young has served as our independent auditors since 1995.

      Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of Proposal 3.

      Although stockholder approval of the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young is not required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable and a matter of good corporate practice to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this appointment. If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment of Ernst & Young.

      A representative of Ernst & Young is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. The representative will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to questions by stockholders. If the selection of Ernst & Young is ratified, the Audit Committee nevertheless retains the discretion to select different accounting firms in the future, should the Audit Committee then deem such selection to be in WebMD’s best interest and in the best interest of the stockholders.

Services and Fees of Ernst & Young

      In addition to retaining Ernst & Young to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2004 and 2003 and to review our quarterly financial statements during those years, we retained Ernst & Young to provide certain related services. The fees for Ernst & Young’s services to WebMD were:

      In the above table, in accordance with applicable SEC rules:

      None of these services was provided pursuant to a waiver of the requirement that such services be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision by Ernst & Young of non-audit services to us in 2004 is compatible with Ernst & Young maintaining their independence.

      Our Audit Committee has, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, decided to consider whether to pre-approve permissible non-audit services and fees on a case-by-case basis, rather than pursuant to a general policy, with the exception of acquisition-related due diligence engagements, which have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee and are subject to monitoring by the Chairman of the Audit Committee. To ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, our Audit Committee has delegated to its Chairman the authority to pre-approve permissible non-audit services and fees and to amend or modify pre-approvals that have been granted by the entire Audit Committee. A report of any such actions taken by the Chairman is provided to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting.

      Our Audit Committee has approved the retention of Ernst & Young by our WebMD Health Corp. subsidiary as independent auditors of its financial statements appearing in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 with respect to an initial public offering of its Class A common stock, as well as for its 2005 financial statements.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2006 ANNUAL MEETING

      We expect to hold our 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 15, 2006. Proposals that stockholders intend to present at that meeting must be received by us not later than February 15, 2006 if they are to be eligible for consideration for possible inclusion in WebMD’s Proxy Statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting, unless the date of the meeting is changed to a later one, in which case such proposals must be received a reasonable time before a solicitation is made. In addition, our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure with regard to director nominations and proposals by stockholders intended to be presented at an annual meeting, but not included in our Proxy Statement. For these nominations or other business to be properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must provide written notice delivered to the Secretary of WebMD at least 60 days and not more than 90 days in advance of the annual meeting date, which notice must contain specified information concerning the matters to be brought before the meeting and concerning the stockholder proposing these matters. All notices of proposals by stockholders, whether or not intended to be included in our proxy materials, should be sent to: Secretary, WebMD Corporation, 669 River Drive, Center 2, Elmwood Park, New Jersey 07407-1361. If a stockholder intends to submit a proposal at the next annual meeting of stockholders which is not intended for inclusion in the Proxy Statement relating to that meeting, notice from the stockholder in accordance with the requirements in our Bylaws must be received by us no later than April 17, 2006, unless the date of the meeting is changed, in which case the notice must be received by us no later than the tenth day after the date on which we first announce the change.

ANNEX A

WEBMD CORPORATION

AMENDED AND RESTATED AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

AS ADOPTED ON FEBRUARY 23, 2005

A.     Purpose and Role

      1. General. The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) has been established by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of WebMD Corporation (the “Corporation”) to oversee:

with such oversight responsibilities being delegated by the Board to the Committee to the full extent contemplated by the requirements applicable to audit committees of companies listed for quotation on the NASDAQ NMS under applicable law and under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.
