     Item 1.  Changes in Control of  Registrant.  On November  9, 1997,  Medicus
Systems  Corporation  (the  "Company"),  and QuadraMed  Corporation,  a Delaware
corporation ("QuadraMed"),  entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
(the  "Merger  Agreement")  pursuant  to which the  Company  and a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of QuadraMed to be formed for that  purpose  ("Merger  Sub") will be
combined  into a single entity  through the statutory  merger of Merger Sub with
and into the Company (the "Merger").  The Merger Agreement provides that Medicus
will be the surviving corporation and that upon consummation of the Merger, each
share of Company common stock will be converted into the right to receive either
(i) $7.50 in cash without interest (the "Cash Consideration"), (ii) .3125 shares
of common  stock,  par value $.01 per share,  of  QuadraMed  ("QuadraMed  Common
Stock"),  subject to certain price adjustments and limitations  contained in the
Merger  Agreement;  or (iii) a combination of Cash  Consideration  and QuadraMed
Common Stock.  In connection  with the Merger  Agreement,  QuadraMed has entered
into Stock Purchase Agreements with certain individual  stockholders  (including
certain directors of the Company) pursuant to which QuadraMed will acquire,  for
a  purchase  price of $7.50  per  share,  in  cash,  approximately  54.8% of the
Company s  outstanding common stock. Such stockholders have granted to QuadraMed
proxies to represent  and vote their shares,  and will also receive  warrants to
purchase a number of shares (the  "Warrant  Shares") of  QuadraMed  Common Stock
equal  to the  product  of (x)  the  number  of  Medicus  shares  sold  by  such
stockholders  multiplied  by (y)  .3125,  subject  to  certain  adjustments  and
limitations.  The exercise price of the Warrant Shares shall be $24.00 per share
(such  exercise  price  being the closing  price of  QuadraMed  common  stock on
Friday, November 7, 1997).  Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of
conditions, including the approval of the stockholders of the Company. The Board
of Directors of the Company has  unanimously  approved the Merger and the Merger
Agreement.  A copy of the Merger  Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and
is  incorporated  herein by this  reference.  Item 7.  Financial  Statements and
Exhibits. (c) Exhibits.

                      AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION


     This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF  REORGANIZATION  (the  "Agreement")  is made and
entered  into as of  November 9, 1997,  by and among  QuadraMed  Corporation,  a
Delaware corporation ("QuadraMed"),  and Medicus Systems Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Medicus").

                                    RECITALS

     A. The Boards of  Directors of Medicus and  QuadraMed  believe it is in the
best  interests of their  respective  companies  and the  stockholders  of their
respective  companies that Medicus and a wholly owned subsidiary of QuadraMed to
be formed for the purposes  hereof  ("Merger Sub") combine into a single company
through the statutory  merger of Merger Sub with and into Medicus (the "Merger")
and, in furtherance thereof, have approved the Merger.

     B. Pursuant to the Merger,  among other things,  the outstanding  shares of
Medicus  Common  Stock,  $.01  par  value  ("Medicus  Common  Stock"),  shall be
converted  into shares of QuadraMed  Common  Stock,  $.01 par value  ("QuadraMed
Common  Stock"),  or cash,  or a  combination  thereof,  on the  terms set forth
herein.

     C.  Medicus  and  QuadraMed  desire  to make  certain  representations  and
warranties and other agreements in connection with the Merger.

     D.  Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement and as an inducement to
QuadraMed to enter into this Agreement,  certain of the  stockholders of Medicus
who in the aggregate beneficially own in excess of 50% of the outstanding Common
Stock of Medicus have on the date hereof entered into stock purchase  agreements
(the "Stock  Purchase  Agreements")  to sell the shares of Medicus' Common Stock
owned by such  person in exchange  for a cash  payment and a warrant to purchase
QuadraMed Common Stock (the "Warrants").

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the covenants and representations set
forth herein, and for other good and valuable  consideration,  the parties agree
as follows:


                                    ARTICLE I

                                   THE MERGER


<PAGE>
     1.1 The  Merger.  At the  Effective  Time (as  defined in Section  1.2) and
subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a Certificate of
Merger to be filed in respect of the Merger (the  "Certificate  of Merger")  and
the  applicable  provisions of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law ("DGCL"),
Merger  Sub  shall be  merged  with and into  Medicus,  the  separate  corporate
existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Medicus shall  continue as the surviving
corporation.   Medicus  as  the  surviving   corporation  after  the  Merger  is
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation."

     1.2 Closing;  Effective Time. The closing of the transactions  contemplated
hereby  (the  "Closing")  shall  take  place as soon as  practicable  after  the
satisfaction  or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof
or at such other time as the parties  hereto  agree (the  "Closing  Date").  The
Closing shall take place at the offices of Brobeck,  Phleger & Harrison LLP, One
Market,  Spear Street Tower, San Francisco,  California  94105, or at such other
location as the parties  hereto  agree.  In  connection  with the  Closing,  the
parties  hereto  shall  cause  the  Merger  to  be  consummated  by  filing  the
Certificate  of Merger with the  Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and
with the  Recorder  of the  County  in which  the  registered  office of each of
Medicus and Merger Sub is located, in accordance with the relevant provisions of
the DGCL (the time of such filing being the "Effective Time").

     1.3 Effect of the Merger.  At the Effective  Time, the effect of the Merger
shall be as  provided  in this  Agreement,  the  Certificate  of Merger  and the
applicable  provisions  of the DGCL.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the
foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights,
privileges,  powers and  franchises  of Medicus and Merger Sub shall vest in the
Surviving  Corporation,  and all debts,  liabilities  and duties of Medicus  and
Merger  Sub shall  become  the debts,  liabilities  and duties of the  Surviving
Corporation.

     1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

     (a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of  Incorporation of Merger Sub,
as in effect  immediately  prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate
of  Incorporation  of the  Surviving  Corporation  until  thereafter  amended as
provided by the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation.

     (b) The  Bylaws  of  Merger  Sub,  as in  effect  immediately  prior to the
Effective  Time,  shall  be  the  Bylaws  of  the  Surviving  Corporation  until
thereafter amended.

     1.5  Directors  and  Officers.  At the  Effective  Time,  the directors and
officers of Merger Sub shall become the  directors and officers of the Surviving
Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and
qualified.


     1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. By virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of  Merger  Sub,  Medicus  or the  holders  of any of the  following
securities, subject to the provisions of this Section 1.6:

     (a) Conversion of Medicus Common Stock.  At the Effective  Time, each share
of  Medicus  Common  Stock  issued  and  outstanding  immediately  prior  to the
Effective  Time  (other than any shares of Medicus  Common  Stock to be canceled
pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) will be canceled and  extinguished  and be converted
automatically into (i) the right to receive $7.50 in cash, without interest (the
"Per  Share  Cash  Amount");  or  (ii) the  right to  receive  0.3125  shares of
QuadraMed Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio");  provided,  however,  that (1) if
the QuadraMed Stock Value (as defined below) exceeds  $27.60,  then the Exchange
Ratio shall be the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $8.625 by (B) the QuadraMed
Stock Value, and (2) if the QuadraMed Stock Value is less than $24.00,  then the
Exchange Ratio shall be the quotient  obtained by dividing  (A) $7.50 by (B) the
QuadraMed Stock Value;  provided further,  however,  that if the QuadraMed Stock
Value is less than $20.40, then QuadraMed may, at its sole discretion,  elect to
have all or any portion of the shares of Medicus Common Stock converted into the
Per Share Cash Amount (the  "QuadraMed  Cash  Election");  or (iii) the right to
receive a  combination  of shares of  QuadraMed  Common  Stock and cash,  all in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this  Section 1.6.  In the  event  of the
QuadraMed  Cash  Election  in which less than all of the  outstanding  shares of
Medicus  Common Stock will be converted  into cash, the shares of Medicus Common
Stock to be converted  into cash as a result of the QuadraMed Cash Election will
be selected  pro rata  according to the number of shares with respect to which a
Stock  Election (as defined below) has been made. The amounts paid in the Merger
in exchange  for shares of Medicus  Common  Stock shall be referred to herein as
the "Merger  Consideration".  For purposes  hereof,  the "QuadraMed Stock Value"
shall be equal to the average of the closing  prices of  QuadraMed  Common Stock
during  the  fifteen  (15) days prior to the second day prior to the date of the
Medicus Stockholders Meeting (as defined in Section 2.23).

     (b) Cancellation of Medicus Common Stock Owned by QuadraMed or Medicus.  At
the Effective Time, all shares of Medicus Common Stock that are owned by Medicus
as treasury  stock and each share of Medicus  Common Stock owned by QuadraMed or
any direct or  indirect  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  QuadraMed  or of Medicus
immediately  prior to the  Effective  Time shall be  canceled  and  extinguished
without any conversion thereof.

     (c) Medicus Stock Option Plans.  At the  Effective  Time,  the Medicus 1989
Stock  Option Plan,  the Medicus 1991 Stock Option Plan,  the Medicus 1993 Stock
Option Plan,  the Medicus 1993  Performance  Stock Option Plan, the Medicus 1994
Stock Option Plan,  the Medicus 1994  Directors'  Stock Option Plan, the Medicus
1995 RCM Stock Option  Plan,  the Medicus  1996 C.E.O.  Stock  Option Plan,  the
Medicus  1996 C.E.O.  Replacement  Stock  Option  Plan,  the Medicus 1996 C.E.O.
Special Stock Option Plan, the Medicus 1997 Employee Stock Option and Restricted
Stock Plan, the Medicus 1997  Directors'  Stock Option Plan  (collectively,  the
"Medicus  Stock Option  Plans"),  the Stock Exchange and  Subscription  warrants
dated March 19, 1997 issued by Medicus to Richard C. Jelinek and a trust for his
benefit (the "Jelinek Warrants") and the Stock Subscription  Warrant dated March
1, 1996 issued by Medicus to TriHealth,  Inc. (the "TriHealth  Warrant") and all
options or rights to purchase  Medicus Common Stock then  outstanding  under the
Medicus Stock Option Plans, the Jelinek Warrants and the TriHealth Warrant shall
be assumed by QuadraMed in accordance with Section 5.11.

     (d)  Capital  Stock of Merger  Sub. At the  Effective  Time,  each share of
Common Stock,  $.01 par value,  of Merger Sub ("Merger Sub Common Stock") issued
and outstanding  immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into
and  exchanged for one validly  issued,  fully paid and  nonassessable  share of
Common  Stock,  $.01  par  value,  of  the  Surviving  Corporation.  Each  stock
certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue
to  evidence  ownership  of  such  shares  of  capital  stock  of the  Surviving
Corporation.

     (e)  Adjustments to Exchange Ratio and Per Share Cash Amount.  The Exchange
Ratio and the Per Share Cash  Amount  shall be  adjusted  to  reflect  fully the
effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend
or distribution of securities convertible into QuadraMed Common Stock or Medicus
Common  Stock),  reorganization,  recapitalization  or other  like  change  with
respect to QuadraMed  Common Stock or Medicus Common Stock  occurring  after the
date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

     (f)  Fractional  Shares.  No fraction of a share of QuadraMed  Common Stock
will be  issued in the  Merger.  In lieu of any  fractional  shares  that  would
otherwise  be issuable in the Merger in  exchange  for shares of Medicus  Common
Stock, QuadraMed shall pay the proportionate amount of the Per Share Cash Amount
that would be payable in respect of such fractional share.

     (g) Limitation on Shares  Issuable.  In no event shall the aggregate number
of shares of QuadraMed  Common  Stock which  QuadraMed is obligated to issue (1)
upon the  exercise of Warrants  and (2) in exchange  for  outstanding  shares of
Medicus  Common  Stock  pursuant to this  Agreement  exceed a total of 1,800,000
shares.  In the event that the  aggregate  number of shares of Common Stock that
holders of Warrants and holders of Medicus  Common Stock have elected to receive
as  described  in  clauses  (1) and (2) in the  immediately  preceding  sentence
exceeds  1,800,000  shares,  QuadraMed shall only be required to issue 1,800,000
shares of QuadraMed  Common Stock and such holders  shall be entitled to receive
shares of QuadraMed  Common Stock equal to each holder's pro rata portion of the
total amount of shares  issued by QuadraMed as described in clauses (1) and (2),
based on the total number of shares each holder and each elected to receive.

     (h) Election for Shares or Cash.  Each record holder  immediately  prior to
the  Effective  Time of shares of Medicus  Common  Stock will be entitled (i) to
elect to receive cash for none, some or all of such shares (a "Cash  Election"),
(ii) to elect to receive  QuadraMed  Common Stock for none,  some or all of such
shares (a "Stock Election"), or (iii) to indicate that such record holder has no
preference  as to the receipt of cash or QuadraMed  Common Stock for such shares
(a "Non-Election"). All such elections shall be made on a form designed for that
purpose (a "Form of  Election").  Holders of record of shares of Medicus  Common
Stock who hold such  shares as  nominees,  trustees  or in other  representative
capacities (a "Representative") may submit multiple Forms of Election,  provided
that such  Representative  certifies that each such Form of Election  covers all
the shares of Medicus Common Stock held by each  Representative for a particular
beneficial  owner. All shares of Medicus Common Stock covered by Stock Elections
(the "Stock Election  Shares") and all shares of Medicus Common Stock covered by
Non-Elections (the  "Non-Election  Shares") shall be converted into the right to
receive  QuadraMed Common Stock, and the Cash Election Shares shall be converted
into the right to receive cash, without interest.

     (i)  Election  Procedures.  Elections  shall be made by  holders of Medicus
Common  Stock by mailing  or  otherwise  delivering  to the  Exchange  Agent (as
defined in Section 1.7) a Form of Election. To be effective,  a Form of Election
must be properly  completed,  signed and  submitted  to the  Exchange  Agent and
accompanied by the certificates  representing the shares of Medicus Common Stock
as to which the election is being made (or by an  appropriate  trust  company in
the United States or a member of a registered  national  securities  exchange or
the National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc. (the "NASD")).  QuadraMed
will  have  the  discretion  which  it may  delegate  in whole or in part to the
Exchange  Agent,  to  determine  whether  Forms of Election  have been  properly
completed,  signed and submitted or revoked and to disregard  immaterial defects
in Forms of Election.  The decision of QuadraMed (or the Exchange Agent) in such
matters  shall be  conclusive  and binding.  Neither  QuadraMed nor the Exchange
Agent will be under any  obligation to notify any person of any defect in a Form
of Election  submitted to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall also make
all  computations  contemplated  by this  Section 1.6 and all such  computations
shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of Medicus Common Stock.  For the
purposes  hereof, a holder of Medicus Common Stock who does not submit a Form of
Election which is received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election  Deadline
(as  hereinafter  defined)  shall be  deemed  to have  made a  Non-Election.  If
QuadraMed or the Exchange Agent shall determine that any purported Cash Election
or Stock Election was not properly  made,  such purported Cash Election or Stock
Election shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and the stockholder making
such purported Cash Election or Stock  Election  shall for purposes  hereof,  be
deemed to have made a  Non-Election.  QuadraMed  and Medicus  shall each use its
reasonable  best  efforts to mail the Form of Election to all persons who become
holders of Medicus  Common Stock  during the period  between the record date for
the Medicus  Stockholders  Meeting (as defined in Section  2.23) and  10:00 a.m.
California  time,  on the date  seven  calendar  days  prior to the  anticipated
Effective  Time and to make the Form of  Election  available  to all persons who
become holders of Medicus Common Stock  subsequent to such day and no later than
the close of business on the business day prior to the Effective Time. A Form of
Election must be received by the Exchange  Agent by the close of business on the
last business day prior to the Effective Time (the "Election Deadline") in order
to be effective. All elections may be revoked until the Election Deadline.

     1.7 Surrender of Certificates.

     (a) Exchange Agent. The First National Bank of Boston shall act as exchange
agent (the "Exchange Agent") in the Merger.

     (b)  QuadraMed  to  Provide  Common  Stock  and  Cash.  Promptly  after the
Effective  Time,  QuadraMed  shall  make  available  to the  Exchange  Agent for
exchange in accordance with this Article I, through such  reasonable  procedures
as QuadraMed  may adopt,  (i) the shares of QuadraMed  Common Stock  issuable in
exchange for Stock Election Shares and  Non-Election  Shares and (ii) cash in an
amount sufficient to purchase Cash Election Shares and permit payment of cash in
lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f).

     (c) Exchange  Procedures.  Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving
Corporation  shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a  certificate
or certificates  (the  "Certificates")  which immediately prior to the Effective
Time represented  outstanding  shares of Medicus Common Stock, whose shares were
converted into the right to receive  shares of QuadraMed  Common Stock (and cash
in lieu  of  fractional  shares)  pursuant  to  Section  1.6,  (i) a  letter  of
transmittal  (which shall specify that delivery  shall be effected,  and risk of
loss and  title  to the  Certificates  shall  pass,  only  upon  receipt  of the
Certificates  by the  Exchange  Agent,  and  shall be in such form and have such
other provisions as QuadraMed may reasonably  specify) and (ii) instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of the  Certificates in exchange for certificates
representing  shares of QuadraMed  Common Stock (and cash in lieu of  fractional
shares)  or cash.  Upon  surrender  of a  Certificate  for  cancellation  to the
Exchange  Agent  or to  such  other  agent  or  agents  as may be  appointed  by
QuadraMed,  together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly
executed  in  accordance  with the  instructions  thereto,  the  holder  of such
Certificate  shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) a certificate
representing the number of whole shares of QuadraMed Common Stock and payment in
lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to
Section 1.6 or (ii) cash, as the case may be, and the Certificate so surrendered
shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered,  each outstanding Certificate
that,  prior to the Effective Time,  represented  shares of Medicus Common Stock
will be deemed for all corporate purposes,  other than the payment of dividends,
to evidence the ownership of the number of full shares of QuadraMed Common Stock
or cash,  as the case may be,  into which such  shares of Medicus  Common  Stock
shall have been so converted  and the right to receive an amount in cash in lieu
of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6.

     (d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other
distributions  with respect to  QuadraMed  Common Stock with a record date after
the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any  unsurrendered  Certificate
with respect to the shares of QuadraMed Common Stock  represented  thereby until
the  holder of record of such  Certificate  shall  surrender  such  Certificate.
Subject to applicable law,  following  surrender of any such Certificate,  there
shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares
of QuadraMed Common Stock issued in exchange therefor,  without interest, at the
time of such surrender,  the amount of any such dividends or other distributions
with a record date after the  Effective  Time  theretofore  payable (but for the
provisions  of this  Section  1.7(d))  with  respect to such shares of QuadraMed
Common Stock.

     (e)  Transfers of  Ownership.  If any  certificate  for shares of QuadraMed
Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the  Certificate
surrendered in exchange  therefor is  registered,  it will be a condition of the
issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered  will be properly  endorsed
and  otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person  requesting  such
exchange will have paid to QuadraMed or any agent  designated by it any transfer
or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of
QuadraMed  Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered  holder of
the Certificate surrendered,  or established to the satisfaction of QuadraMed or
any age.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, none of
the  Exchange  Agent,  the  Surviving  Corporation  or any party hereto shall be
liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official  pursuant
to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

     1.8 No Further  Ownership  Rights in Medicus  Common  Stock.  All shares of
QuadraMed  Common  Stock  issued upon the  surrender  for  exchange of shares of
Medicus  Common Stock in accordance  with the terms hereof  (including  any cash
paid in lieu of  fractional  shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full
satisfaction  of all rights  pertaining to such shares of Medicus  Common Stock,
and there shall be no further  registration  of  transfers on the records of the
Surviving  Corporation of shares of Medicus Common Stock which were  outstanding
immediately  prior  to  the  Effective  Time.  If,  after  the  Effective  Time,
Certificates  are presented to the Surviving  Corporation  for any reason,  they
shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

     1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed  Certificates.  In the event any Certificates
shall have been lost,  stolen or  destroyed,  the Exchange  Agent shall issue in
exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates,  upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the holder  thereof,  such shares of QuadraMed  Common
Stock (and cash in lieu of  fractional  shares) as may be  required  pursuant to
Section 1.6; provided,  however,  that QuadraMed may, in its discretion and as a
condition  precedent  to the issuance  thereof,  require the owner of such lost,
stolen  or  destroyed  Certificates  to  deliver  a bond in  such  sum as it may
reasonably  direct  as  indemnity  against  any claim  that may be made  against
QuadraMed,  the Surviving  Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the
Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     1.10 Taking of Necessary Action;  Further Action. If, at any time after the
Effective  Time,  any further  action is necessary or desirable to carry out the
purposes  of this  Agreement  and to vest the  Surviving  Corporation  with full
right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges,  powers
and  franchises of Medicus and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Medicus
and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations
or otherwise to take,  and will take, all such lawful and necessary  action,  so
long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

     1.11  Dissenting  Shares.  Notwithstanding  any  other  provisions  of this
Agreement to the  contrary,  shares of Medicus  QuadraMed  Common Stock that are
outstanding  immediately  prior  to the  Effective  Time and  which  are held by
stockholders  who shall have  demanded  properly in writing  appraisal  for such
shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the "Dissenting
Shares")  shall not be  converted  into or  represent  the right to receive  the
Merger Consideration.  Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of
the  appraised  value of such  shares of  Medicus  Common  Stock held by them in
accordance with the provisions of Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares
held by stockholders  who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively  shall
have  withdrawn  or lost their  rights to  appraisal  of such  shares of Medicus
Common  Stock  under such  Section  262 shall  thereupon  be deemed to have been
converted into and to have become  exchangeable,  as of the Effective  Time, for
the right to receive,  without any interest thereon,  shares of QuadraMed Common
Stock based on the Exchange  Ratio  determined  in  accordance  with Section 1.1
hereof, as if such shares were covered by Non-Elections,  upon surrender, in the
manner  provided in this  Article I, of the  certificate  or  certificates  that
formerly evidenced such shares of Medicus Common Stock.


                                   ARTICLE II

                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MEDICUS

     In this Agreement,  any reference to any event, change, condition or effect
being  "material"  with  respect  to any entity or group of  entities  means any
material event, change,  condition or effect related to the condition (financial
or otherwise),  properties,  assets (including intangible assets),  liabilities,
business,  operations  or  results  of  operations  of such  entity  or group of
entities.  In this Agreement,  any reference to a "Material Adverse Effect" with

that  is  materially   adverse  to  the  condition   (financial  or  otherwise),
properties,  assets, liabilities,  business, operations or results of operations
of such entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

     Except as  disclosed in a document of even date  herewith and  delivered by
Medicus to QuadraMed  prior to the execution and delivery of this  Agreement and
referring to the  representations and warranties in this Agreement (the "Medicus
Disclosure  Schedule"),  Medicus represents and warrants to QuadraMed and Merger
Sub as follows:

     2.1  Organization,  Standing and Power Each of Medicus and its subsidiaries
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of  organization.  Each of Medicus and its subsidiaries
has the corporate  power to own its  properties  and to carry on its business as
now being  conducted and as proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be
so  qualified  and in good  standing  would  have a Material  Adverse  Effect on
Medicus.  Medicus  has  delivered  a true and  correct  copy of the  Amended and
Restated   Certificate  of  Incorporation,   as  amended  (the  "Certificate  of
Incorporation"),  and  Bylaws,  as  amended,  or  other  charter  documents,  as
applicable, of Medicus and each of its subsidiaries, each as amended to date, to
QuadraMed. Neither Medicus nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any of
the  provisions  of its  Certificate  of  Incorporation  or Bylaws or equivalent
organizational  documents.  Medicus  is the owner of all  outstanding  shares of
capital  stock  of each  of its  subsidiaries  and  all  such  shares  are  duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All of the outstanding
shares of capital  stock of each such  subsidiary  are owned by Medicus free and
clear of all liens,  charges,  claims or encumbrances or rights of others. There
are no  outstanding  subscriptions,  options,  warrants,  puts,  calls,  rights,
exchangeable or convertible securities or other commitments or agreements of any
character  relating to the issued or unissued  capital stock or other securities
of any such subsidiary,  or otherwise  obligating Medicus or any such subsidiary
to issue,  transfer,  sell,  purchase,  redeem  or  otherwise  acquire  any such
securities.  Except as  disclosed  in the Medicus SEC  Documents  (as defined in
Section 2.4),  Medicus does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar
interest in, or any interest convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for, any
equity or similar  interest in, any corporation,  partnership,  joint venture or
other business association or entity.

     2.2 Capital Structure.  The authorized capital stock of Medicus consists of
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock,  $.01 par value,  and 500 shares of Voting  Preferred  Stock,  $1,000 par
value, of which there were issued and outstanding as of the close of business on
November 7, 1997,  5,487,971  shares of Common  Stock and no shares of Preferred
Stock or  Voting  Preferred  Stock.  There  are no other  outstanding  shares of
capital stock or voting  securities and no outstanding  commitments to issue any
shares of capital stock or voting securities other than pursuant to the exercise
of options  outstanding as of such date under the Medicus Stock Option Plans and
the obligation to issue 34,800 restricted  shares  previously  granted under the
Medicus Stock Option Plans.  All outstanding  shares of Medicus Common Stock are
duly authorized,  validly issued,  fully paid and non-assessable and are free of
any liens or encumbrances created by, or resulting from the actions of, Medicus,
and are not subject to preemptive  rights or rights of first refusal  created by
statute,  the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of Medicus or any agreement
to which Medicus is a party or by which it is bound. As of the close of business
on  November 7, 1997,  Medicus  has  1,501,350  shares  subject to  outstanding,
unexercised  options.  Since November 7, 1997, Medicus has not issued or granted
additional  options  under the Medicus  Stock Option  Plans.  Except for (i) the
rights created  pursuant to this Agreement or the Medicus Stock Option Plans and
(ii) Medicus   right to repurchase  any unvested  shares under the Medicus Stock
Option Plans, there are no other options,  warrants, calls, rights,  commitments
or  agreements  of any  character to which  Medicus is a party or by which it is
bound obligating Medicus to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause
to be issued,  delivered,  sold,  repurchased or redeemed, any shares of capital
stock of Medicus or obligating Medicus to grant, extend,  accelerate the vesting
of,  change  the price of, or  otherwise  amend or enter  into any such  option,
warrant,  call,  right,  commitment  or  agreement.   There  are  no  contracts,
commitments  or  agreements  relating  to voting,  purchase  or sale of Medicus 
capital stock (i) between or among Medicus and any of its  stockholders and (ii)
to  the  best  of  Medicus    knowledge,   between  or  among  any  of  Medicus 
stockholders.  The terms of the Medicus Stock Option Plans permit the assumption
or  substitution  of options to purchase  QuadraMed  Common Stock as provided in
this  Agreement,  without  the  consent  or  approval  of the  holders  of  such
securities, the Medicus stockholders,  or otherwise and without any acceleration
of the exercise schedule or vesting provisions in effect for those options. True
and complete  copies of all forms of agreements and  instruments  relating to or
issued  under the  Medicus  Stock  Option  Plans  have been  made  available  to
QuadraMed and such agreements and instruments have not been amended, modified or
supplemented,  and there are no agreements to amend,  modify or supplement  such
agreements or instruments in any case from the form made available to QuadraMed.

     2.3 Authority.  Medicus has all requisite  corporate power and authority to
enter  into this  Agreement  and to  consummate  the  transactions  contemplated
hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions  contemplated  hereby have been duly  authorized  by all  necessary
corporate  action on the part of Medicus,  subject  only to the  approval of the
Merger  by  Medicus   stockholders  as  contemplated  by  Section  6.1(a).  This
Agreement has been duly executed and  delivered by Medicus and  constitutes  the
valid  and  binding  obligation  of  Medicus   enforceable  against  Medicus  in
accordance  with its terms.  The  execution  and  delivery of this  Agreement by
Medicus does not, and the consummation of the transactions  contemplated  hereby
will not,  conflict  with, or result in any violation of, or default under (with
or  without  notice  or lapse  of time,  or  both),  or give  rise to a right of
termination,  cancellation  or  acceleration  of any  obligation  or loss of any
benefit under (i) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of
Medicus or any of its subsidiaries,  as amended,  or (ii) any material mortgage,
indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument, permit, concession,
franchise,  license,  judgment,  order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or
regulation  applicable  to  Medicus or any of its  subsidiaries  or any of their
properties  or  assets,   except  where  such  conflict,   violation,   default,
termination,   cancellation  or  acceleration  with  respect  to  the  foregoing
provisions  of (ii) would not have had and would not  reasonably  be expected to
have a Material  Adverse  Effect on  Medicus.  No  consent,  approval,  order or
authorization  of, or  registration,  declaration  or filing  with,  any  court,
administrative   agency  or  commission  or  other  governmental   authority  or
instrumentality  ("Governmental  Entity")  is  required  by or with  respect  to
Medicus or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement or the  consummation of the transactions  contemplated  hereby
and thereby,  except for (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger as provided
in Section 1.2, (ii) the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") and the NASD of the Proxy Statement (as defined in Section 2.23) relating
to the Medicus  Stockholders  Meeting (as defined in Section  2.23),  (iii) such
consents,  approvals, orders,  authorizations,  registrations,  declarations and
filings  as may be  required  under  applicable  state  securities  laws and the
securities  laws  of  any  foreign  country;   and  (iv)  such  other  consents,
authorizations,  filings,  approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or
made, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus and would not prevent,
or  materially  alter  or delay  any of the  transactions  contemplated  by this
Agreement.

     2.4 SEC Documents; Financial Statements. Medicus has furnished to QuadraMed
a true and complete copy of each statement, report, registration statement (with
the  prospectus in the form filed  pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act")),  definitive  proxy  statement and
other filing filed with the SEC by Medicus  since March 1, 1996,  and,  prior to
the Effective Time, Medicus will have furnished QuadraMed with true and complete
copies of any  additional  documents  filed with the SEC by Medicus prior to the
Effective Time (collectively, the "Medicus SEC Documents"). In addition, Medicus
has made available to QuadraMed all exhibits to the Medicus SEC Documents  filed
prior to the date hereof,  and will  promptly  make  available to QuadraMed  all
exhibits to any  additional  Medicus SEC Documents  filed prior to the Effective
Time.  All  documents  required  to be  filed as  exhibits  to the  Medicus  SEC
Documents  have been so filed,  and all material  contracts so filed as exhibits
are in full force and effect, except those which have expired in accordance with
their  terms,  and  neither  Medicus nor any of its  subsidiaries  is in default
thereunder.  As of their  respective  filing  dates,  the Medicus SEC  Documents
complied  in all  material  respects  with the  requirements  of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act"),  and the Securities Act,
and none of the  Medicus  SEC  Documents  contained  any untrue  statement  of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated  therein
or necessary to make the statements made therein,  in light of the circumstances
in which they were made,  not  misleading,  except to the extent  corrected by a
subsequently  filed Medicus SEC Document.  The financial  statements of Medicus,
including the notes thereto, included in the Medicus SEC Documents (the "Medicus
Financial  Statements") were complete and correct in all material respects as of
their  respective  dates,  complied  as to form in all  material  respects  with
applicable accounting  requirements and with the published rules and regulations
of the SEC with  respect  thereto as of their  respective  dates,  and have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles applied on
a basis  consistent  throughout the periods  indicated and consistent  with each
other  (except  as may be  indicated  in the  notes  thereto  or, in the case of
unaudited statements included in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as permitted by
Form 10-Q of the SEC).  The  Medicus  Financial  Statements  fairly  present the
consolidated  financial  condition  and  operating  results of  Medicus  and its
subsidiaries at the dates and during the periods indicated therein (subject,  in
the case of unaudited statements,  to normal,  recurring year-end  adjustments).
There has been no change in Medicus  accounting  policies except as described in
the notes to the Medicus Financial Statements.

     2.5 Absence of Certain Changes. Since August 31, 1997 (the "Medicus Balance
Sheet  Date"),  Medicus  has  conducted  its  business  in the  ordinary  course
consistent  with past  practice  and,  except as  disclosed  in the  Medicus SEC
Documents,  there has not occurred:  (i) any change, event or condition (whether
or not  covered by  insurance)  that has  resulted  in, or might  reasonably  be
expected  to  result  in,  a  Material  Adverse  Effect  to  Medicus;  (ii)  any
acquisition,  sale or  transfer of any  material  asset of Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries  other than in the ordinary  course of business and consistent with
past practice;  (iii) any change in accounting  methods or practices  (including
any change in depreciation or amortization  policies or rates) by Medicus or any
revaluation by Medicus of any of its or any of its  subsidiaries'  assets;  (iv)
any declaration,  setting aside, or payment of a dividend or other  distribution
with  respect to the shares of Medicus,  or any direct or  indirect  redemption,
purchase or other  acquisition by Medicus of any of its shares of capital stock;
(v) any material  contract  entered into by Medicus or any of its  subsidiaries,
other than in the ordinary  course of business and as provided to QuadraMed,  or
any  material  amendment  or  termination  of, or default  under,  any  material
contract to which Medicus or any of its  subsidiaries  is a party or by which it
is  bound;  or (vi)  any  negotiation  or  agreement  by  Medicus  or any of its
subsidiaries  to do any of the things  described  in the  preceding  clauses (i)
through (v) (other than  negotiations  with  QuadraMed  and its  representatives
regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

     2.6 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Medicus has no material obligations
or liabilities of any nature (matured or unmatured,  fixed or contingent)  other
than (i)  those  set  forth or  adequately  provided  for in the  Balance  Sheet
included in Medicus'  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended August
31, 1997 (the  "Medicus  Balance  Sheet"),  (ii) those  incurred in the ordinary
course of business and not required to be set forth in the Medicus Balance Sheet
under  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  (iii) those incurred in the
ordinary  course of business since the Medicus Balance Sheet Date and consistent
with past practice;  and (iv) those incurred in connection with the execution of
this Agreement.

     2.7  Litigation.   There  is  no  private  or  governmental  action,  suit,
proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending before any agency, court
or tribunal,  foreign or domestic, or, to the knowledge of Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries,  threatened  against Medicus or any of its  subsidiaries or any of
their respective properties or any of their respective officers or directors (in
their  capacities  as  such)  that,  individually  or in  the  aggregate,  could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus. There is no
judgment, decree or order against Medicus or any of its subsidiaries, or, to the
knowledge of Medicus and its subsidiaries,  any of their respective directors or
officers (in their  capacities as such),  that could prevent,  enjoin,  alter or
materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.

     2.8 Restrictions on Business  Activities.  There is no material  agreement,
judgment,  injunction,  order  or  decree  binding  upon  Medicus  or any of its
subsidiaries  which has or  reasonably  could be  expected to have the effect of
prohibiting or materially  impairing any current or future business  practice of
Medicus or any of its  subsidiaries,  any  acquisition of property by Medicus or
any of its  subsidiaries  or the  conduct of  business  by Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted by Medicus or
any of its subsidiaries.

     2.9 Governmental  Authorization.  Medicus and each of its subsidiaries have
obtained each federal,  state, county,  local or foreign  governmental  consent,
license,  permit,  grant, or other  authorization  of a Governmental  Entity (i)
pursuant to which Medicus or any of its subsidiaries currently operates or holds
any interest in any of its properties or (ii) that is required for the operation
of  Medicus   or any of its  subsidiaries'  business  or the holding of any such
interest ((i) and (ii) herein collectively called "Medicus Authorizations"), and
all of such Medicus  Authorizations  are in full force and effect,  except where
the  failure  to obtain  or have any of such  Medicus  Authorizations  could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.

     2.10 Title to Property.  Medicus and its  subsidiaries  have good and valid
title to all of their respective properties, interests in properties and assets,
real and personal,  reflected in the Medicus Balance Sheet or acquired after the
Medicus  Balance  Sheet Date (except  properties,  interests in  properties  and
assets sold or otherwise disposed of since the Medicus Balance Sheet Date in the
ordinary  course of business),  or in the case of leased  properties and assets,
valid  leasehold  interests  therein,  free and clear of all  mortgages,  liens,
pledges,  charges or encumbrances of any kind or character,  except (i) the lien
of current  taxes not yet due and  payable,  (ii) such  imperfections  of title,
liens and easements as do not and will not materially  detract from or interfere
with the use of the properties subject thereto or affected thereby, or otherwise
materially impair business operations  involving such properties and (iii) liens
securing  debt which is  reflected  on the Medicus  Balance  Sheet.  The plants,
property  and  equipment  of Medicus and its  subsidiaries  that are used in the
operations of their businesses are in good operating  condition and repair.  All
properties used in the operations of Medicus and its  subsidiaries are reflected
in the  Medicus  Balance  Sheet  to the  extent  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  require the same to be  reflected.  Schedule  2.10  identifies  each
parcel of real property owned or leased by Medicus or any of its subsidiaries.

     2.11 Intellectual Property.

     (a) Medicus and its subsidiaries  own, or are licensed or otherwise possess
legally enforceable rights to use all patents,  trademarks, trade names, service
marks,  copyrights,  and  any  applications  therefor,   maskworks,  net  lists,
schematics,  technology, know- how, trade secrets, inventory, ideas, algorithms,
processes,  computer  software programs or applications (in both source code and
object code  form),  and  tangible  or  intangible  proprietary  information  or
material ("Intellectual  Property") that are used in the business of Medicus and
its  subsidiaries  as  currently  conducted  or as proposed to be  conducted  by
Medicus and its subsidiaries, except to the extent that the failure to have such
rights  have not had and would not  reasonably  be  expected  to have a Material
Adverse Effect on Medicus.

     (b)  Medicus  has  provided  to  QuadraMed   (i)  all  patents  and  patent
applications  and all registered and  unregistered  trademarks,  trade names and
service marks,  registered and  unregistered  copyrights,  and maskworks,  which
Medicus   considers  to  be  material  to  its  business  and  included  in  the

Intellectual  Property  right  has been  issued  or  registered  or in which any
application  for  such  issuance  and  registration  has  been  filed,  (ii) all
licenses,  sublicenses  and other  agreements as to which Medicus is a party and
pursuant to which any person is authorized to use any Intellectual Property, and

party and  pursuant  to which  Medicus  is  authorized  to use any  third  party
patents, trademarks or copyrights, including software ("Third Party Intellectual
Property  Rights") which are incorporated in, are, or form a part of any Medicus
product that is material to its business.

     (c) To  Medicus'  knowledge,  there  is no  unauthorized  use,  disclosure,
infringement or misappropriation of any Intellectual  Property rights of Medicus
or any of its  subsidiaries,  any trade secret material to Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries,  or any  Intellectual  Property  right of any  third  party to the
extent licensed by or through Medicus or any of its  subsidiaries,  by any third
party, including any employee of its subsidiaries has entered into any agreement
to  indemnify  any  other  person  against  any  charge of  infringement  of any
Intellectual  Property,  other  than  indemnification  provisions  contained  in
purchase orders arising in the ordinary course of business.

     (d)  Medicus  is not,  nor  will it be as a  result  of the  execution  and
delivery of this  Agreement or the  performance  of its  obligations  under this
Agreement,  in breach of any license,  sublicense or other agreement relating to
the  Intellectual  Property or Third Party  Intellectual  Property  Rights,  the
breach of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.

     (e) All patents,  registered trademarks,  service marks and copyrights held
by Medicus are valid and subsisting.  Medicus (i) has not been sued in any suit,
action or  proceeding  which  involves a claim of  infringement  of any patents,
trademarks,  service marks, copyrights or violation of any trade secret or other
proprietary  right of any third party and (ii) has not brought any action,  suit
or proceeding for infringement of Intellectual Property or breach of any license

proprietary right of any third party,  except where such infringement  would not
have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.

     (f) Medicus has secured valid written  assignments from all consultants and

preserve  the  confidentiality  of  all  Intellectual   Property  not  otherwise
protected  by  patents,  or  patent  applications  or  copyright  ("Confidential
Information").  All use, disclosure or appropriation of Confidential Information
owned by  Medicus  by or to a third  party has been  pursuant  to the terms of a
written agreement  between Medicus and such third party. All use,  disclosure or
appropriation of Confidential Information not owned by Medicus has been pursuant
to the  terms of a  written  agreement  between  Medicus  and the  owner of such

     2.14 Employee Benefit Plans.


     (a) Schedule 2.14 lists, with respect to Medicus, any subsidiary of Medicus
and any trade or business  (whether or not  incorporated)  which is treated as a
single  employer  with  Medicus  (an "ERISA  Affiliate")  within the  meaning of
Section 414(b),  (c), (m) or (o) of the Code, (i) all material  employee benefit
plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974,  as amended  ("ERISA")),  (ii) each loan to a  non-officer  employee in
excess of $50,000,  loans to officers and directors and any stock option,  stock
purchase,  phantom stock, stock  appreciation  right,  supplemental  retirement,
severance,  sabbatical,  medical,  dental,  vision  care,  disability,  employee
relocation, cafeteria benefit (Code section 125) or dependent care (Code Section
129),  life insurance or accident  insurance  plans,  programs or  arrangements,
(iii) all bonus,  pension,  profit sharing,  savings,  deferred  compensation or
incentive plans, programs or arrangements, (iv) other fringe or employee benefit
plans,  programs or arrangements  that apply to senior management of Medicus and
that do not  generally  apply to all  employees,  and (v) any  current or former
employment  or  executive  compensation  or  severance  agreements,  written  or
otherwise,  as to which  unsatisfied  obligations  of Medicus  of  greater  than
$50,000  remain  for the  benefit  of, or  relating  to,  any  present or former
employee,  consultant or director of Medicus  (together,  the "Medicus  Employee
Plans").

     (b)  Medicus  has  furnished  to  QuadraMed  a copy of each of the  Medicus
Employee Plans and related plan documents (including trust documents,  insurance
policies or contracts,  employee  booklets,  summary plan descriptions and other
authorizing documents, and, to the extent still in its possession,  any material
employee  communications relating thereto) and has, with respect to each Medicus
Employee Plan which is subject to ERISA reporting requirements,  provided copies
of the  Form 5500  reports  filed for the last three  plan  years.  Any  Medicus
Employee  Plan  intended to be qualified  under  Section 401(a)  of the Code has
either  obtained  from the Internal  Revenue  Service a favorable  determination
letter as to its qualified  status under the Code,  including all  amendments to
the Code effected by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent  legislation,  or
has applied to the  Internal  Revenue  Service for such a  determination  letter
prior to the  expiration  of the  requisite  period  under  applicable  Treasury
Regulations or Internal  Revenue  Service  pronouncements  in which to apply for
such  determination  letter  and to make any  amendments  necessary  to obtain a
favorable  determination.  Medicus has also  furnished  QuadraMed  with the most
recent Internal Revenue Service determination letter issued with respect to each
such Medicus  Employee Plan, and nothing has occurred since the issuance of each
such  letter  which  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  cause  the loss of the
tax-qualified  status of any  Medicus  Employee  Plan  subject  to Code  Section
401(a).

     (c) (i) Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.14, none of the Medicus  Employee
Plans promises or provides  retiree medical or other retiree welfare benefits to
any person;  (ii) there has been no  "prohibited  transaction,"  as such term is
defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section  4975 of the Code,  with  respect to
any Medicus  Employee Plan,  which could  reasonably be expected to have, in the
aggregate,  a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) each Medicus Employee Plan has been
administered  substantially  in accordance with its terms and in compliance with
the  requirements  prescribed  by any and all  statutes,  rules and  regulations
(including  ERISA and the Code),  except as would not have, in the aggregate,  a
Material Adverse Effect, and Medicus and each subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate have
performed all obligations required to be performed by them under, are not in any
respect in default  under or violation  of, and have no knowledge of any default
or violation  by any other party to, any of the Medicus  Employee  Plans,  which
default or violation  could  reasonably  be expected to have a Material  Adverse
Effect on Medicus; (iv) neither Medicus nor any subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate is
subject to any liability or penalty under Sections 4976 through 4980 of the Code
or Title I of ERISA with  respect to any of the Medicus  Employee  Plans,  other
than  obligations  for the payment of benefits  in the normal  operation  of the
Plan, and obligations  which would not in the aggregate have a Material  Adverse
Effect on Medicus; (v) all material contributions required to be made by Medicus
or any subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate to any Medicus Employee Plan have been made
on or before  their due dates and any  accruals  required  by  general  accepted
accounting  principles  ("GAAP") for contributions to each Medicus Employee Plan
for the current plan years are reflected on the financial statements of Medicus;
(vi) with respect to each Medicus  Employee Plan, no  "reportable  event" within
the  meaning of Section  4043 of ERISA  (excluding  any such event for which the
thirty (30) day notice  requirement  has been waived  under the  regulations  to
Section 4043 of ERISA) nor any event  described in Section 4062, 4063 or 4041 or
ERISA has  occurred;  and (vii)  neither  Medicus  nor any  subsidiary  or ERISA
Affiliate has incurred or expects to incur any liability under Title IV of ERISA
or Section 412 of the Code.  With respect to each Medicus  Employee Plan subject
to ERISA as either an employee  pension  plan within the meaning of Section 3(2)
of ERISA or an employee  welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1)
of ERISA,  Medicus  has  prepared in good faith and timely  filed all  requisite
governmental  reports (which were true and correct as of the date filed) and has
properly and timely filed and  distributed  or posted all notices and reports to
employees required to be filed,  distributed or posted with respect to each such
Medicus  Employee  Plan,  except for  failures  which  would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on Medicus. No suit, administrative  proceeding,  action or other
litigation has been brought,  or to the best knowledge of Medicus is threatened,
against or with respect to any such Medicus  Employee Plan,  including any audit
or inquiry by the IRS or United States Department of Labor.  Neither Medicus nor
any Medicus  subsidiary or other ERISA  Affiliate is a party to, or has made any
contribution to or otherwise  incurred any obligation under, any  "multiemployer
plan" as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.

     (d) With respect to each  Medicus  Employee  Plan,  Medicus and each of its
United States  subsidiaries  have complied with (i) the  applicable  health care
continuation  and  notice   provisions  of  the   Consolidated   Omnibus  Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA") and the proposed regulations thereunder and
(ii)  the  applicable  requirements  of the  Family  Leave  Act of 1993  and the
regulations  thereunder,  except to the extent that such failure to comply would
not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (e) The  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement
will not (i) entitle any current or former employee or other service provider of
Medicus,  any Medicus  subsidiary  or any other  ERISA  Affiliate  to  severance
benefits  or any other  payment,  except as vesting,  or increase  the amount of
compensation due any such employee or service provider.
 
     (f) Except as disclosed on Schedule  2.14,  there has been no amendment to,
written  interpretation or announcement (whether or not written) by Medicus, any
Medicus   subsidiary  or  other  ERISA  Affiliate  relating  to,  or  change  in
participation   or  coverage  under,  any  Medicus  Employee  Plan  which  would
materially  increase  the  expense of  maintaining  such Plan above the level of
expense  incurred  with  respect to that Plan for the most  recent  fiscal  year
included in Medicus  financial statements.

     2.15 Certain Agreements  Affected by the Merger.  Neither the execution and
delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transaction  contemplated
hereby will (i) result in any payment (including, without limitation, severance,
unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to
any director or employee of Medicus or any of its subsidiaries,  (ii) materially
increase  any  benefits  otherwise  payable by  Medicus  or (iii)  result in the
acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.

     2.16  Employee  Matters.  Medicus  and  each  of  its  subsidiaries  are in
compliance in all respects with all currently  applicable  laws and  regulations
respecting  employment,  discrimination  in employment,  terms and conditions of
employment,  wages,  hours and  occupational  safety and  health and  employment
practices,  and is not engaged in any unfair  labor  practice,  except where the
failure to be in  compliance or the  engagement  in such unfair labor  practices
would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus. There are no pending claims
against Medicus or any of its subsidiaries  under any workers  compensation plan
or  policy  or  for  long  term  disability.  Neither  Medicus  nor  any  of its
subsidiaries  has  any  obligations  under  COBRA  with  respect  to any  former
employees or qualifying  beneficiaries  thereunder,  except for obligations that
would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.  There are no controversies
pending or, to the knowledge of Medicus or any of its subsidiaries,  threatened,
between  Medicus  or  any of  its  subsidiaries  and  any  of  their  respective
employees,  which  controversies  have or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.  Neither Medicus nor any of its subsidiaries
is a party to any collective  bargaining agreement or other labor union contract
nor  does  Medicus  nor  any of its  subsidiaries  know  of  any  activities  or
proceedings of any labor union to organize any such employees.

     2.17 Interested Party Transactions.  Except as disclosed in the Medicus SEC
Documents,  neither  Medicus  nor any of its  subsidiaries  is  indebted  to any
director,  officer,  employee  or agent of  Medicus  or any of its  subsidiaries
(except for amounts due as normal salaries and bonuses and in  reimbursement  of
ordinary  expenses),  and no such  person is  indebted  to Medicus or any of its
subsidiaries,  and there have been no other transactions of the type required to

insurance  and bonds of the type and in amounts  customarily  carried by persons
conducting  businesses  or owning  assets  similar to those of  Medicus  and its
subsidiaries.  There is no material  claim pending under any of such policies or
bonds as to which  coverage  has been  questioned,  denied  or  disputed  by the
underwriters  of such policies or bonds.  All premiums due and payable under all
such  policies  and bonds have been paid and  Medicus and its  subsidiaries  are
otherwise in compliance in all material respects with the terms of such policies
and  bonds.  Medicus  has no  knowledge  of any  threatened  termination  of, or
material premium increase with respect to, any of such policies.

complied  with,  are not in  violation  of, and have not received any notices of
violation with respect to, any federal,  state, local or foreign statute, law or
regulation  with  respect to the conduct of its  business,  or the  ownership or

could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Medicus.

     Except as  disclosed in a document of even date  herewith and  delivered by
QuadraMed to Medicus prior to the  execution and delivery of this  Agreement and
referring  to  the   representations  and  warranties  in  this  Agreement  (the
"QuadraMed Disclosure Schedule"), QuadraMed and Merger Sub represent and warrant
to Medicus as follows.  All  representations  and  warranties  of Merger Sub set
forth below are made solely as of the Closing Date.

     3.1   Organization,   Standing  and  Power.   Each  of  QuadraMed  and  its
subsidiaries,  including  Merger Sub, is a corporation  duly organized,  validly
existing  and  in  good  standing  under  the  laws  of  its   jurisdiction   of
organization.  Each of QuadraMed and its subsidiaries has the corporate power to
own its  properties  and to carry on its business as now being  conducted and is
duly  qualified to do business and is in good standing in each  jurisdiction  in
which the failure to be so qualified and in good standing  would have a Material
Adverse  Effect on QuadraMed.  QuadraMed  has made  available a true and correct
copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or other charter  documents,
as  applicable,  of  QuadraMed  to  Medicus.  Neither  QuadraMed  nor any of its
subsidiaries  is in violation of any of the  provisions  of its  Certificate  of
Incorporation or Bylaws or equivalent organizational documents. QuadraMed is the
owner of all outstanding shares of capital stock of each of its subsidiaries and
all  such  shares  are  duly   authorized,   validly  issued,   fully  paid  and
nonassessable.  All of the  outstanding  shares  of  capital  stock of each such
subsidiary are owned by QuadraMed free and clear of all liens,  charges,  claims
or  encumbrances  or rights of others.  There are no outstanding  subscriptions,
options,  warrants, puts, calls, rights,  exchangeable or convertible securities
or other  commitments  or agreements of any character  relating to the issued or
unissued capital stock or other securities of any such subsidiary,  or otherwise
obligating QuadraMed or any such subsidiary to issue, transfer,  sell, purchase,
redeem or  otherwise  acquire any such  securities.  Except as  disclosed in the
QuadraMed SEC Documents (as defined in Section 3.4), QuadraMed does not directly
or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible
or  exchangeable  or  exercisable  for,  any equity or similar  interest in, any
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity.

     3.2  Capital  Structure.  Except as  described  in this  Section  3.2,  the
authorized  and  outstanding  capital  stock of QuadraMed is as set forth in the
section entitled "Description of Capital Stock" in QuadraMed's  Prospectus dated
October 21, 1997 as filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  and as
previously  delivered  to  Medicus.  There  are no other  outstanding  shares of
capital stock or voting  securities of QuadraMed  other than shares of QuadraMed
Common  Stock  issued  after  October 21,  1997 upon the  exercise of options or
warrants. The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares of
Common Stock,  $.01 par value,  all of which are issued and  outstanding and are
held by QuadraMed.  All outstanding shares of QuadraMed and Merger Sub have been
duly authorized,  validly issued,  fully paid and are  nonassessable and free of
any liens or  encumbrances  other than any liens or  encumbrances  created by or
imposed upon the holders  thereof.  Other than pursuant to this  Agreement,  and
options or warrants that were  outstanding as of October 21, 1997,  there are no
other  options,  warrants,  calls,  rights,  commitments  or  agreements  of any
character to which QuadraMed or Merger Sub is a party or by which either of them
is bound obligating QuadraMed or Merger Sub to issue, deliver,  sell, repurchase
or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered,  sold, repurchased or redeemed, any
shares of the capital stock of QuadraMed or Merger Sub or  obligating  QuadraMed
or Merger Sub to grant,  extend or enter into any such  option,  warrant,  call,
right,  commitment  or  agreement.  The shares of  QuadraMed  Common Stock to be
issued pursuant to the Merger will be duly  authorized,  validly  issued,  fully
paid, and non-assessable.

     3.3 Authority.  QuadraMed and Merger Sub have all requisite corporate power
and authority to enter into this  Agreement and to consummate  the  transactions
contemplated  hereby.  The  execution  and  delivery of this  Agreement  and the
consummation of the transactions  contemplated  hereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary  corporate action on the part of QuadraMed and Merger Sub. This
Agreement  has been duly  executed and delivered by QuadraMed and Merger Sub and
constitutes  the valid and binding  obligations of QuadraMed and Merger Sub. The
execution  and delivery of this  Agreement do not, and the  consummation  of the
transactions  contemplated  hereby  will not,  conflict  with,  or result in any
violation  of, or default  under  (with or without  notice or lapse of time,  or
both), or give rise to a right of  termination,  cancellation or acceleration of
any  obligation or loss of a benefit under (i) any provision of the  Certificate
of Incorporation or Bylaws of QuadraMed or any of its subsidiaries,  as amended,
or (ii) any material mortgage,  indenture, lease, contract or other agreement or
instrument,  permit,  concession,  franchise,  license, judgment, order, decree,
statute,  law, ordinance,  rule or regulation  applicable to QuadraMed or any of
its  subsidiaries  or their  properties or assets,  except where such  conflict,
violation,  default,  termination,  cancellation or acceleration with respect to
the foregoing  provisions of (ii) would not have had and would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on QuadraMed.  No consent,  approval,
order or  authorization  of, or  registration,  declaration  or filing with, any
Governmental  Entity,  is required by or with respect to QuadraMed or any of its
subsidiaries  in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by
QuadraMed and Merger Sub or the  consummation by QuadraMed and Merger Sub of the
transactions  contemplated hereby,  except for (i) the filing of the Certificate
of Merger as  provided  in  Section  1.2,  (ii) the  filing  with the SEC of the
Registration  Statement,  (iii) the  filing of a Form 8-K with the SEC within 15
days  after  the  Closing  Date,  (iv)  any  filings  as may be  required  under

Listing of  Additional  Shares with  respect to the shares of  QuadraMed  Common
Stock  issuable upon  conversion  of the Medicus  Common Stock in the Merger and
upon  exercise of the options  under the Medicus  Stock Option Plans  assumed by
QuadraMed, and (vi) such other consents, authorizations,  filings, approvals and
registrations  which, if not obtained or made, would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on QuadraMed  and would not prevent or  materially  alter or delay any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     3.4 SEC Documents;  Financial  Statements.  QuadraMed has made available to
Medicus  a true  and  complete  copy of  each  statement,  report,  registration
statement  (with the prospectus in the form filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the
Securities Act), definitive proxy statement, and other filing filed with the SEC
by QuadraMed since March 31,  1997, and, prior to the Effective Time,  QuadraMed
will have  furnished  Medicus  with true and complete  copies of any  additional
documents  filed  with  the  SEC  by  QuadraMed  prior  to  the  Effective  Time
(collectively,  the "QuadraMed  SEC  Documents").  All documents  required to be
filed as  exhibits  to the Medicus  SEC  Documents  have been so filed,  and all
material  contracts  so filed as exhibits  are in full force and effect,  except
those which have expired in accordance with their terms,  and neither  QuadraMed
nor any of its  subsidiaries is in default  thereunder.  As of their  respective
filing dates, the QuadraMed SEC Documents complied in all material respects with
the  requirements  of the Exchange Act and the  Securities  Act, and none of the
QuadraMed  SEC Documents  contained  any untrue  statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact  required to be stated  therein or necessary to
make the statements made therein,  in light of the  circumstances  in which they
were made,  not  misleading,  except to the extent  corrected by a  subsequently
filed QuadraMed SEC Document.  The financial statements of QuadraMed,  including
the notes  thereto,  included in the  QuadraMed SEC  Documents  (the  "QuadraMed
Financial  Statements") were complete and correct in all material respects as of
their  respective  dates,  complied  as to form in all  material  respects  with
applicable accounting  requirements and with the published rules and regulations
of the SEC with  respect  thereto as of their  respective  dates,  and have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles applied on
a basis  consistent  throughout the periods  indicated and consistent  with each
other  (except  as may be  indicated  in the  notes  thereto  or, in the case of
unaudited statements included in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as permitted by
Form 10-Q of the SEC).  The QuadraMed  Financial  Statements  fairly present the
consolidated  financial  condition  and  operating  results of QuadraMed and its
subsidiaries at the dates and during the periods indicated therein (subject,  in
the case of unaudited statements,  to normal,  recurring year-end  adjustments).
There has been no material  change in QuadraMed  accounting  policies  except as
described in the notes to the QuadraMed Financial Statements.

     3.5 Absence of Certain Changes. Since June 30, 1997 (the "QuadraMed Balance
Sheet  Date"),  QuadraMed  has  conducted  its business in the  ordinary  course
consistent with past practice and there has not occurred:  (i) any change, event
or  condition  (whether or not covered by  insurance)  that has  resulted in, or
might  reasonably  be  expected  to  result  in, a  Material  Adverse  Effect to

Directors  of  Medicus  believes  in good  faith  (after  consultation  with its
financial advisor) that such Takeover Proposal would, if consummated,  result in
a transaction more favorable to Medicus   stockholders from a financial point of
view than the transaction contemplated by the Agreement (any such more favorable
Takeover Proposal being referred to in this Agreement as a "Superior  Proposal")
and  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Medicus   determines  in  good  faith  after

Directors of Medicus to comply with its fiduciary  duties to stockholders  under
applicable  law,  Medicus and its  officers,  directors,  employees,  investment
bankers,  financial advisors,  attorneys,  accountants and other representatives
retained by it may furnish in  connection  therewith  information  and take such
other actions as are consistent with the fiduciary obligations of Medicus  Board
of Directors,  and such actions shall not be considered a breach of this Section
4.3 or any other provisions of this Agreement,  provided that in each such event
Medicus  notifies  QuadraMed  of such  determination  by the  Medicus  Board  of
Directors and provides  QuadraMed  with a true and complete copy of the Superior
Proposal received from such third party, if the Superior Proposal is in writing,
or a complete  written summary  thereof,  if it is not in writing,  and provides
QuadraMed with all documents  containing or referring to non-public  information
of Medicus that are supplied to such third party; provided further, that (A) the
Board of  Directors  of Medicus  has  determined,  with the  advice of  Medicus 
investment  bankers,  that such  third  party is  capable  of making a  Superior
Proposal  upon  satisfactory  completion  of such  third  party's  review of the
information  supplied by Medicus, (B) the third party has stated that it intends
to make a  Superior  Proposal,  (C)  Medicus  may  not  provide  any  non-public
information  to any such  third  party if it has not  prior to the date  thereof
provided  such  information  to QuadraMed or  QuadraMed's  representatives,  (D)
Medicus   notifies   QuadraMed  in  advance  of  any  disclosure  of  non-public
information  to any such third  party,  with a  description  of the  information
proposed to be disclosed,  and (E) Medicus provides such non-public  information
pursuant  to  a  non-disclosure   agreement  at  least  as  restrictive  as  the
Confidentiality  Agreement  (as defined in Section  5.4).  Medicus will promptly
notify  QuadraMed after receipt of any Takeover  Proposal or any notice that any
person is considering  making a Takeover  Proposal or any request for non-public
information  relating to Medicus or any of its subsidiaries or for access to the
properties, books or records of Medicus or any of its subsidiaries by any person
that has advised Medicus that it may be considering  making, or that has made, a
Takeover  Proposal  and will keep  QuadraMed  fully  informed  of the status and
details of any such Takeover Proposal notice,  request or any  correspondence or
communications  related  thereto  and shall  provide  QuadraMed  with a true and
complete copy of such Takeover  Proposal notice or request or  correspondence or
communications  related  thereto,  if it is in  writing,  or a complete  written
summary  thereof,  if it is not in  writing.  For  purposes  of this  Agreement,
"Takeover  Proposal"  means any offer or  proposal  for,  or any  indication  of
interest in, a merger or other business combination  involving Medicus or any of
its subsidiaries or the acquisition of any significant  equity interest in, or a
significant portion of the assets of, Medicus or any of its subsidiaries,  other
than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

outstanding  option to purchase shares of Medicus Common Stock under the Medicus
Stock Option Plans,  whether  vested or unvested,  the Jelinek  Warrants and the
TriHealth Warrant will be assumed by QuadraMed.  Schedule 5.11 hereto sets forth
a true and  complete  list as of the date hereof of all  holders of  outstanding
options under the Medicus Stock Option Plans,  including the number of shares of
Medicus  capital  stock  subject to each such  option,  the  exercise or vesting
schedule,  the exercise price per share and the term of each such option. On the
Closing Date, Medicus shall deliver to QuadraMed an updated Schedule 5.11 hereto
current as of such date.

     (b) Each such option so assumed by  QuadraMed  under this  Agreement  shall
continue to have,  and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in
the  Medicus  Stock  Option  Plans,  and each of the  Jelinek  Warrants  and the
TriHealth  Warrant shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and
conditions set forth therein,  immediately  prior to the Effective Time,  except
that (i) each such option and each such  warrant  will be  exercisable  for that
number of whole  shares of  QuadraMed  Common  Stock equal to the product of the
number of shares of Medicus  Common Stock that were  issuable  upon  exercise of
such option or warrant  immediately  prior to the Effective  Time  multiplied by
0.3565 and  rounded  down to the  nearest  whole  number of shares of  QuadraMed
Common Stock,  and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of QuadraMed
Common Stock  issuable upon  exercise of such assumed  option or warrant will be
equal to the quotient  determined  by dividing  the exercise  price per share of
Medicus Common Stock at which such option or warrant was exercisable immediately
prior to the Effective Time by 0.3565, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

     (c)  Consistent  with the terms of the Medicus  Stock  Option Plans and the
documents  governing the outstanding  options under those Plans, the Merger will
not terminate any of the outstanding  options under such Plans or accelerate the
exercisability  or vesting of such  options  or the shares of  QuadraMed  Common
Stock which will be subject to those options upon the QuadraMed's  assumption of
the options in the Merger.  Within 10 business  days after the  Effective  Time,
QuadraMed will issue to each person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time
was a holder of an  outstanding  option  under the Medicus  Stock Option Plans a
document in form and substance  satisfactory to Medicus evidencing the foregoing
assumption of such option by QuadraMed.

     (d) For purposes of QuadraMed  employee  benefit plans,  Medicus  employees
will receive full credit for years of service with Medicus.

     5.12 Letter of QuadraMed's and Medicus  Accountants.

     (a) QuadraMed shall use all reasonable  efforts to cause to be delivered to
Medicus a Procedures Letter of QuadraMed's  independent  auditors,  dated a date
within two  business  days before the date on which the  Registration  Statement
shall become effective and addressed to Medicus, in form reasonably satisfactory
to Medicus  and  customary  in scope and  substance  for  letters  delivered  by
independent  public  accountants  in  connection  with  registration  statements
similar to the Registration Statement.

     (b) Medicus  shall use all  reasonable  efforts to cause to be delivered to
QuadraMed a Procedures  Letter of Medicus   independent  auditors,  dated a date
within two  business  days before the date on which the  Registration  Statement
shall  become   effective  and  addressed  to  QuadraMed,   in  form  reasonably
satisfactory  to  QuadraMed  and  customary in scope and  substance  for letters
delivered by  independent  public  accountants in connection  with  registration
statements similar to the Registration Statement.

     5.13 Form S-8.  QuadraMed  agrees to file,  no later than  thirty (30) days
after the Closing,  a registration  statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of
QuadraMed  Common  Stock  issuable  pursuant to  outstanding  options  under the
Medicus  Stock  Option Plans  assumed by  QuadraMed  and the shares of QuadraMed
Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Jelinek Warrants.  Medicus shall cooperate
with and assist QuadraMed in the preparation of such registration statement.

     5.14 Listing of Additional Shares.  Prior to the Effective Time,  QuadraMed
shall file with the Nasdaq  National  Market a Notification  Form for Listing of
Additional Shares with respect to the shares referred to in Section 6.1(e).

     5.15  Nasdaq  Quotation.  Medicus  and  QuadraMed  agree  to  continue  the
quotation of Medicus Common Stock and QuadraMed Common Stock,  respectively,  on
the Nasdaq National Market during the term of the Agreement.

     5.16 Indemnification.

     (a) After the Effective Time,  QuadraMed will, and will cause the Surviving
Corporation  to,  indemnify and hold  harmless the present and former  officers,
directors,  employees  and  agents of Medicus  (the  "Indemnified  Parties")  in
respect of acts or omissions  occurring on or prior to the Effective Time to the
extent permitted by law and to the extent provided under Medicus' Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws or any indemnification agreement with Medicus' officers
and  directors to which  Medicus is a party,  in each case in effect on the date
hereof;  provided,  however,  that such indemnification  shall be subject to any
limitation imposed from time to time under applicable law. Without limitation of
the foregoing, in the event any such Indemnified Party is or becomes involved in
any capacity in any action,  proceeding or  investigation in connection with any
matter  relating  to this  Agreement  or the  transactions  contemplated  hereby
occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, QuadraMed shall, or shall cause the
Surviving  Corporation to, pay as incurred such Indemnified  Party's  reasonable
legal  and  other  expenses   (including  the  cost  of  any  investigation  and
preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent permitted by law and
to the extent provided under Medicus' Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or
the indemnification agreement with such Indemnified Party.

     (b) For two years after the Effective  Time,  QuadraMed will, or will cause
the  Surviving  Corporation  to, use its best efforts to provide  officers'  and
directors'  liability  insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring on or
prior to the  Effective  Time  covering  each such person  currently  covered by
Medicus'   officers'  and  directors'   liability   insurance  policy  on  terms
substantially  similar  to those of such  policy in effect on the date  hereof ;
provided,  however,  that in satisfying its obligation  under this Section 5.16,
QuadraMed  shall not be obligated to, or to cause the Surviving  Corporation to,
pay premiums in excess of 150% of the amount per annum  Medicus paid in its last
full fiscal year,  which  amount has been  disclosed  to  QuadraMed,  and if the
Surviving Corporation is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section
5.16,  it shall  obtain as much  comparable  insurance as possible for an annual
premium equal to such maximum amount.

     (c) To  the  extent  there  is  any  claim,  action,  suit,  proceeding  or
investigation  (whether  arising before or after the Effective  Time) against an
Indemnified  Party that  arises out of or  pertains to any action or omission in
his or her  capacity as a director,  officer,  employee,  fiduciary  or agent of
Medicus  occurring  prior to the Effective Time, or arises out of or pertains to
the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement for a period of two years after
the Effective Time (whether  arising before or after the Effective  Time),  such
Indemnified  Party shall be entitled to be  represented by counsel and following
the Effective Time (i) any counsel retained by the Indemnified  Parties shall be
reasonably  satisfactory to the Surviving  Corporation  and QuadraMed,  (ii) the
Surviving  Corporation  and QuadraMed shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel,  promptly after statements  therefor are received and (iii) the
Surviving  Corporation  and QuadraMed  will cooperate in the defense of any such
matter; provided,  however, that neither the Surviving Corporation nor QuadraMed
shall be liable for any settlement  effected  without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld);  and provided,  further,  however,
that in the event that any claim or claim for  indemnification  are  asserted or
made within such two-year period,  all rights to  indemnification  in respect of
any such claim or claims shall  continue  until the  disposition  of any and all
such claims. The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm (in
addition to local  counsel) to represent  them with respect to any single action
unless there is, under applicable standards of professional  conduct, a conflict
on any  significant  issue between the positions of any tow or more  Indemnified
Parties.

     (d) The  provisions of this Section 5.16 are intended to be for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and
representatives.

     5.17 Reasonable Best Efforts and Further Assurances. Each of the parties to
this  Agreement  shall  use  its  reasonable  best  efforts  to  effectuate  the
transactions  contemplated  hereby and to fulfill and cause to be fulfilled  the

request  of  another  party  hereto,   shall  execute  and  deliver  such  other

           QUADRAMED CORPORATION SIGNS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE
           MEDICUS SYSTEMS CORPORATION; PURCHASES 54.8% OF OUTSTANDING
                                     SHARES

     Larkspur, CA and Evanston, IL -- November 10, 1997 -- QUADRAMED CORPORATION
(NASDAQ:  QMDC) and MEDICUS SYSTEMS CORPORATION  (NASDAQ:  MECS) today announced
that they have signed a definitive  agreement  pursuant to which  QuadraMed will
acquire Medicus.  QuadraMed simultaneously entered into separate agreements with
certain  stockholders  of Medicus to  purchase  shares of Medicus  Common  Stock
constituting  approximately  54.8% of the total number of outstanding  shares of
Medicus Common Stock. The transactions  were unanimously  approved by the boards
of directors of both QuadraMed and Medicus.

     The acquisition,  which is subject to Medicus stockholder approval, will be
accounted for as a purchase and is  anticipated to close in the first quarter of
1998. The terms of the  acquisition  provide that Medicus  stockholders  will be
entitled to receive, at their individual election, any of (1) cash in the amount
of $7.50 per share of Medicus  Common  Stock or (2) 0.3125  shares of  QuadraMed
Common Stock,  subject to certain adjustments and limitations as provided in the
acquisition  agreement,  or (3) a  combination  thereof.  The  closing  price of
QuadraMed Common Stock on Friday, November 7, 1997 was $24.00 per share.

     QuadraMed  agreed to  purchase  the  shares of  Medicus  Common  Stock from
certain stockholders of Medicus at a price of $7.50 per share plus warrants that
entitle  holders to purchase,  at an exercise price of $24.00 per share,  0.3125
shares of QuadraMed  Common Stock for each share of Medicus Common Stock sold to
QuadraMed,  subject to adjustment. The warrants are exercisable only at the time
the merger becomes  effective and will terminate at that time to the extent they
are not  exercised.  QuadraMed  expects to complete the purchase of these shares
within a week.

     "The combination of the Medicus product set with QuadraMed's QuanTIM(csuite
of software  products  will provide our  customers  with an even more robust and
powerful product offering," said James D. Durham, Chairman,  President and Chief
Executive  Officer of QuadraMed.  Mr. Durham added,  "The combined  company will
offer increased functionality and interoperability, particularly with respect to
decision support  capabilities,  to enable our customers to operate  efficiently
and  cost-effectively.  We intend to  continue to provide  support for  Medicus'
customer  base of over 1,200 clients and  QuadraMed's  customer base of over 670
health care providers and payors."

     Patrick C.  Sommers,  Chairman,  President and Chief  Executive  Officer of
Medicus,  stated "I am very  enthusiastic  about  this  merger.  QuadraMed  will
provide Medicus with the resources to continue  aggressive  product  development
and implement our growth strategy.  The combined company will be well positioned
to continue to meet the needs of a changing health care market."

     Medicus, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Evanston,  Illinois, provides
information  solutions that enable hospitals and integrated health care delivery
networks to manage  resources more  effectively and improve  outcomes of care by
capturing,  structuring and analyzing data. Medicus provides information systems
and related  services to more than 1,200 client  institutions  throughout  North
America.
