(1)    Pro forma net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
       (loss) by the number of common equivalent shares outstanding during the
       periods in accordance with the applicable rules of the SEC.  All stock
       options and warrants issued have been considered as outstanding common
       share equivalents for all the periods presented, even if anti-dilutive,
       under the treasury stock method.  Shares of MedPartners Common Stock
       issued in February 1995 upon conversion of the then outstanding
       MedPartners Convertible Preferred Stock are assumed to be common share
       equivalents for all periods presented.
(2)    Number of shares used in pro forma net income (loss) per share gives
       effect to the merger by using the fixed exchange ratio of 1.311 shares of
       MedPartners Common Stock to each share the InPhyNet Common Stock 
       outstanding.

              NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The proposed merger (The "Merger") of InPhyNet with and into a subsidiary of
MedPartners is intended to be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. 
The pro forma combined statements of operations assumed that the Merger was
consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented.  The pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet assumes that the transactions were consummated
on September 30, 1996.

The pro forma financial information contains no adjustments to conform the
accounting policies of the companies because any such adjustments have been
determined to be immaterial.

The following adjustments are necessary to reflect the merger:

A.      These historical amounts for MedPartners for the years ended
        December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 do not agree with the Form 10K
        filed with the SEC because the amounts have been restated to reflect
        the mergers with PPSI and Caremark which were accounted for as
        poolings-of-interests.

B.      The pro forma combined statements of operations do not reflect
        nonrecurring cost and charges resulting directly from the
        proposed merger.  These costs and charges are estimated as follows:

        converting each outstanding share of InPhyNet's capital stock into
        MedPartners common stock based on the fixed exchange ratio of 1.311.

                  MEDPARTNERS, INC. ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF
                       INPHYNET MEDICAL MANAGEMENT INC.


BIRMINGHAM, AL AND FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - JANUARY 21, 1997 - MEDPARTNERS, INC.
(NYSE: MDM) and INPHYNET MEDICAL MANAGEMENT INC. (NASDAQ: IMMI) announce they
have agreed to merge in a transaction valued at $491 million.  MedPartners is
the largest physician practice management company in the nation and operates
the country's largest independent prescription benefits management service. 
The combined company, with $5.2 billion in revenues, based on third quarter
annualized results, will create the largest provider of full time
hospital-based physician services.  MedPartners' Team Health division and
InPhyNet's hospital-based physician services together generate approximately
$500 million in annualized revenues.  This merger also significantly enhances
MedPartners position in the Florida market.

Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by the Boards of
Directors of both companies, each InPhyNet share will be converted at a fixed
ratio of 1.311 shares of MedPartners common stock, which, based on MedPartners
closing price of $21.875 on January 20th implies a value of $28.68 per share of
InPhyNet.  The transaction is expected to close near the end of the first
quarter 1997 and is subject to regulatory approval and approval by InPhyNet
stockholders.  The transaction will be tax-free to the stockholders of InPhyNet
and accounted for as a pooling of interests.

MedPartners will combine InPhyNet's hospital-based business with that of Team
Health.  Clifford Findeiss, MD, InPhyNet's Chairman of the Board, President and
CEO, will become President of the Institutional Services Division for
MedPartners with responsibility for all hospital and government physician
contracting, inclusive of emergency and radiology operations.  Lynn Massingale,
MD, President

of Team Health will assume responsibility for all hospital-based businesses in
the combined entity.  InPhyNet's 43 group physicians, all of whom are in south
Florida, and its IPA operations with 385 physicians in Florida and Ohio, will
become part of MedPartners Eastern Operations, under the direction of division
President, John Gannon.

Larry R. House, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of MedPartners, says,
"The strategic visions of the two companies are identical.  Both companies
envisioned the transition from fee-for-service to prepaid healthcare.  This
transaction is evidence of MedPartners' continuing commitment as the leader in
the integration of high quality physicians including group, IPA and
institutional physician services.  With the addition of InPhyNet's 116,000
globally capitated lives, we will now provide prepaid care to over 1.7 million
enrollees."  Mr. House adds, "This transaction also moves MedPartners to the
forefront in hospital-based physician services and ultimately strengthens all
areas of physician services."

Dr. Findeiss sees the merger as an opportunity to create the nation's largest
group of physicians committed to excellence in emergency medicine and
radiology.  "In its 20 year history, InPhyNet has brought together an
impressive group of physicians who provide these services to hospitals.  Team
Health can lay claim to the same accomplishment.  Under the direction of
MedPartners, the combination of these physicians and the services they can
provide will now be unmatched in the industry."  Dr. Findeiss adds,
"MedPartners' nationally recognized expertise in managed care, especially in
its western operations, provides additional resources from which to continue
the growth of global capitation in the East through HMOs and government
contract services."

Dr. Massingale calls the combination of the companies a "perfect fit."  He
says, "I am delighted that MedPartners and InPhyNet are able to bring together
some of the best people and institutions in the country.  As a result of this
merger, we will have hospital-based physicians in 28 states, and, that
positions us extremely well for expansion into new and existing markets.  Our
shared commitment allows us to work together to offer greater service to
hospitals and to physicians within our group."

InPhyNet Medical Management Inc. is based in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  The company,
in 1996, provided physician practice management services at 188 service sites
in 26 states with hospital-based services and capitated networks.  InPhyNet has
over 20 years experience in managing primary care physicians for a variety of
clients, including hospitals, health maintenance organizations and government
institutions.

MedPartners, Inc. is the nation's largest physician practice management
company.  Its corporate headquarters is located in Birmingham, Alabama.  The
company develops, consolidates and manages healthcare delivery systems. 
Through the company's network of affiliated group and IPA physicians,
MedPartners provides primary and specialty healthcare services to prepaid
managed care enrollees and fee-for-service patients.  The company operates
physician practices in 25 states.  Its prescription benefit management division
provides services to more than 15 million people in all 50 states.

group practices, 5,261 through IPA relationships and 959 hospital-based
physicians.

Smith Barney Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. acted as financial advisors to
MedPartners and InPhyNet, respectively.
