FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------

                          CONCENTRA MANAGED CARE, INC.
                 ANNOUNCES THIRD-QUARTER 1997 FINANCIAL RESULTS

     BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, (October 30, 1997) - Concentra Managed Care, Inc.
(Nasdaq/NM:  CCMC) today announced that revenues for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1997, increased 30% to $120,559,000 compared with revenues of
$92,965,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  Operating income for
the third quarter of 1997 increased 52% to $18,176,000 from $11,966,000 for the
same period last year.

     Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997, rose 37% to
$9,811,000, or $0.25 per share, compared with $7,136,000, or $0.19 per share,
for the same period last year.

     These results do not include a non-recurring charge of $38,625,000
($29,040,000 after-tax or $0.74 per share), taken in the third quarter of 1997
for fees, expenses and restructuring charges associated with the recent merger. 
Concentra Managed Care was formed through the merger of CRA Managed Care
(Nasdaq/NM:  CRAA) and OccuSystems (Nasdaq/NM:  OSYS) - two leaders in the field
of occupational healthcare and workers' compensation cost containment.  This
merger was completed on August 29, 1997.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, revenues increased 30% to
$335,226,000, compared with revenues of $258,377,000 for the same period last
year.  In addition, operating income for the first nine months of 1997 grew 58%
to $45,065,000, before the non-recurring charge, from $28,523,000 for the same
period last year.  Net income increased 51% to $24,290,000, or $0.63 per share
before the non-recurring charge, compared with $16,091,000, or $0.44 per share,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     "Concentra Managed Care is the first fully integrated managed care company
for workers' compensation spanning the entire episode of care.  Our continued
growth as evidenced by this quarter's financial performance is due to the
increased acceptance of managed care techniques by insurance companies, third
party administrators and major employers," says Donald J. Larson, President and
Chief Executive Officer.  "Our success this quarter is due to several factors: 
growth in same market revenue and margins, expansion of our cost containment
services and continued growth in both of our divisions, Concentra Managed Care
Services and Concentra Health Services.  We continue to aggressively integrate
our service capability across both divisions in order to take advantage of our
position as the only company able to offer a fully integrated managed care
program to our customers."
