        The following information is filed to amend Items 1, 5(a) and 5(e) of
the original Statement on Schedule 13D dated December 6, 1995 (the "Original
Statement") of Catholic Healthcare West with respect to the Common Stock, $.001
par value, of MedPartners, Inc., formerly named MedPartners/Mullikin, Inc., and
to restate the balance of the Original Statement in accordance with Rule
232.101(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-T promulgated by the Commission.

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

                The class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D
relates is the common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Stock"), issued by
MedPartners, Inc., formerly named MedPartners/Mullikin, Inc. ("Issuer"), 3000
Galleria Tower, Suite 1000, Birmingham, Alabama 35244-2331

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

                This Schedule 13D is being filed by Catholic Healthcare West, a
California nonprofit public benefit corporation (the "Reporting Person"), whose
principal business address and principal office is 1700 Montgomery Street,
Suite 300, San Francisco, California 94111. The Reporting Person supports and
assists in carrying out the purposes of affiliated hospitals and healthcare
organizations in California.

                Schedule 1 attached to this Schedule 13D contains the following
information concerning each director and executive officer of the Reporting
Person: (i) name and residence or business address, (ii) principal occupation
or employment; and (iii) the name, principal business and address of any
corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted.
Schedule 1 is incorporated by reference.

                To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, each of the persons
named on Schedule 1 (the "Schedule 1 Persons") is a United States citizen.
During the last five years, to the Reporting Person's knowledge, neither the
Reporting Person nor any of the Schedule 1 Persons has been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
During the last five years, to the Reporting Person's knowledge, neither the
Reporting Person nor any of the Schedule 1 Persons has been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and,
as a result of such proceeding, is or was subject to a judgment, decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                DCNHS-West Partnership, L.P. ("Partnership") is a California
limited partnership formed in 1993, of which DCNHS-West, a California nonprofit
public benefit corporation, was the original sole general partner. DCNHS-West
supported and assisted in carrying out the purposes of affiliated hospitals and
healthcare organizations in California. The limited partners of Partnership
were all California nonprofit public benefit corporations operating hospitals
whose sole member was DCNHS-West.

                Pursuant to an agreement dated January 11, 1994, Partnership
purchased 31,070 units of Class B limited partnership interest in Mullikin
Medical Enterprises, L.P. ("MME"), a medical


                                  Page 3 of 10
<PAGE>   4
practice management company. These units represented a 15% equity interest in
MME. The purchase price was $30,000,000 in cash, which Partnership paid from
funds provided by DCNHS-West and the limited partners of Partnership from their
working capital.

        On May 25, 1995, DCNHS-West effectively merged into the Reporting
Person, with the Reporting Person as the surviving corporation. By virtue of
this merger, the Reporting Person succeeded to DCNHS-West as the sole general
partner of Partnership and as the sole member of the limited partners of
Partnership.

        On November 29, 1995, MME merged into Issuer, with Issuer as the
surviving corporation (the "Merger"). By virtue of the Merger, the MME Class B
limited partnership units previously held by Partnership were converted into
1,867,647 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock. As the sole general partner of
Partnership, the Reporting Person is a beneficial owner of such shares as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

        The Reporting Person holds the Shares for investment. Reporting Person
intends to review on a continuing basis its investment in Issuer and, depending
on its evaluation of Issuer's business, operations, financial needs and
prospects and upon market and economic conditions, Reporting Person may
determine to increase (through open market or privately negotiated transactions
or otherwise) or continue to hold the Shares as an investment or dispose of
some or all of them.

        Neither the Reporting Person nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting
Person, any of its executive officers, directors or controlling persons, has any
plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the actions
specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

        (a)  The Reporting Person beneficially owns (as that term is defined in
Rule 13d-3) 1,867,647 shares of Common Stock, representing 1.17% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on November 8, 1996, as reported on
Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated November 14, 1996 for the quarterly
period ended September 30, 1996. The record owner of such shares is 
Partnership.

        (b)  The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Shares.

        (c)  On November 29, 1995, pursuant to the Merger, the units of Class B
limited partnership interests in MME held by Partnership were converted into
1,867,647 shares of Common Stock.

        (d)  No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends, from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
Shares.




                                  Page 4 of 10
<PAGE>   5
        (e)     The Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more
than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock when the number of shares of
outstanding Common Stock exceeded 37,393,480 shares.  To the Reporting Person's
knowledge, the Issuer's first filing with the Commission showing more than this
number of shares of outstanding Common Stock was Issuer's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 1996 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1996.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
         SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

        Pursuant to an agrement among Partnership, MME, several MME affiliates
and Issuer terminating the agreements previously entered into between
Partnership and MME in connection with Partnership's investment in units of
Class B limited partnership interest in MME, on November 28, 1995, the Reporting
Person's Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Kramer, was elected a director of
Issuer with a term expiring at Issuer's 1998 annual shareholders meeting.

        Effective on November 29, 1995, Partnership agreed to the terms of a
Registration Rights Agreement with Issuer, pursuant to which Partnership is
granted certain rights with respect to subsequent registrations of Common Stock
under the Securities Act of 1933.  The form of the Registration Rights
Agreement, as so agreed, is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D, and such
copy is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.  Execution of this
form of agreement is expected to be completed shortly.

        Certain hospitals affiliated with the Reporting Person provide hospital
and related services to Issuer and certain medical groups affiliated with
Issuer.  The amount of such services is less than $5,000,000 per year.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

Exhibit 1       Form of Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 29,
                1995, among MedPartners/Mullikin, Inc. and Walter T. Mullikin,
                M.D., John S. McDonald, Rosalio J. Lopez, M.D. and DCNHS-West
                Partnership, L.P. (filed as Exhibit 1 to the Original Statement,
                which was filed in paper form).
