              CONCENTRA MANAGED CARE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

                                 ---------------

                   BOARD OF DIRECTORS FORMS SPECIAL COMMITTEE
                       TO EVALUATE STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES

         BOSTON, Mass. (October 29, 1998) - Concentra Managed Care, Inc.
(Nasdaq/NM: CCMC) today announced higher revenues and improved earnings for the
third quarter and first nine months of 1998, compared with year-earlier periods.

         Revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998, increased 21%
to $158,902,000 from $131,212,000 in the same period last year. Operating income
for the quarter totaled $25,029,000 compared with $22,202,000 last year. Net
income for the third quarter was $12,445,000 or $0.26 per diluted share versus
pro forma net income of $11,492,000 or $0.25 per diluted share in the
year-earlier period.

         For the nine months of 1998, revenues increased 29% to $463,330,000
from $359,082,000 for the year-to-date period in 1997. Operating income for the
first nine months increased 38% to $74,621,000 compared with $53,897,000 last
year. Net income for the year-to-date period grew 32% to $37,053,000 or $0.78
per diluted share versus pro forma net income of $28,012,000 or $0.61 per
diluted share in the same period last year.

         The results described above for the first nine months of 1998 do not
include a non-recurring charge of $12,600,000 ($9,600,000 after-tax or $0.20 per
diluted share) taken in the first quarter of 1998 for fees, expenses and
restructuring charges primarily associated with the February 1998 acquisition of
Preferred Payment Systems. Similarly, the results for the third quarter and
first nine months of 1997 do not include a non-recurring charge of $38,625,000
($29,040,000 after-tax) related to the August 1997 merger of Concentra's
predecessor companies.

         "While Concentra's financial results for the third quarter demonstrate
an improvement over the comparable period last year, we are disappointed that
the Company fell short of management's expectations for revenues and
profitability in the third quarter," said Daniel J. Thomas, President and
Interim Chief Executive Officer

of the Company. "Since announcing in early September that revenues and earnings
would be lower than expected for the third and fourth quarters of 1998, the rate
of growth in our managed care division, and particularly our field case
management services, has slowed more than anticipated. Start-up costs associated
with bringing certain customers online have been greater than expected, which
further affected our net income for the quarter.

         "We are in the process of evaluating opportunities to reorganize our
managed care division to improve efficiency, and we intend to take the necessary
actions to strengthen the Company's long-term performance and improve
shareholder value," Thomas continued. "In connection with this review, we expect
to record a non-recurring charge of approximately $15 to $25 million in the
fourth quarter. We have also revised our earnings forecast for the final quarter
of 1998 and now expect to report between $0.15 and $0.18 per diluted share
before the non-recurring charge. Furthermore, the Company is currently
performing a thorough analysis of all its business lines, as part of its 1999
budget process, to reflect current market conditions and opportunities and
determine the most efficient allocation of its resources that will maximize the
long-term profitability of its operations. Following the completion of these
activities in late November, Concentra plans to issue revised guidance for 1999.

         "In spite of the issues we have encountered recently, I am very excited
about Concentra's future prospects," he added. "We have many opportunities to
enhance the efficiency of our operations through greater investments in
technology. These technological improvements, primarily affecting our first
notice of loss reporting capabilities, along with our telephonic and field case
management information systems, will help us seamlessly integrate the
information systems of our various lines of business, improve the level of
service and outcomes for our customers, and generate higher revenues and profits
in the future."

         Concentra also announced that it has received several unsolicited
expressions of interest regarding the possible acquisition of some or all of the
Company's common stock. Accordingly, the Company has formed a special committee
of the Board of Directors for the purpose of evaluating various strategic
alternatives available to the Company, including remaining independent and
pursuing its existing or a modified strategy. The special committee has engaged
BT Alex. Brown to assist in this endeavor. The Company's comprehensive review of
its business strategies and growth opportunities, as outlined above, will assist
the special committee in its evaluation of strategic alternatives.

effect. Prior to its acquisition by the company during the first quarter of
1998, PPS elected to be taxed as an S Corporation and, accordingly, was not
subject to federal and state income taxes in certain jurisdictions.
