                         CONCENTRA MANAGED CARE REPORTS
                       FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS

         BOSTON, Mass. (February 4, 1999) - Concentra Managed Care, Inc.
(Nasdaq/NM: CCMC) today announced revenues and earnings for the fourth quarter
and year ended December 31, 1998.

         Revenues for the fourth quarter increased 14% to $153,450,000 from
$134,797,000 in the same period last year. Operating income for the quarter
totaled $14,360,000 compared with $17,779,000 last year. Net income for the
fourth quarter was $7,136,000 or $0.15 per diluted share versus pro forma net
income of $8,217,000 or $0.17 per diluted share a year ago.

         For the year ended December 31, 1998, revenues increased 25% to
$616,780,000 from $493,879,000 for 1997. Operating income for 1998 was
$88,981,000 compared with $71,676,000 last year. Net income for 1998 totaled
$44,189,000 or $0.93 per diluted share versus pro forma net income of
$36,229,000 or $0.78 per diluted share last year.

         The results described above for the fourth quarter of 1998 exclude a
non-recurring charge of $20,514,000 ($12,103,000 after-tax or $0.26 per diluted
share), which primarily consists of expenses related to severance, facility
closings and consolidation, and the write-off of certain assets. Similarly,
results for the full year ended December 31, 1998, exclude non-recurring charges
totaling $33,114,000 ($21,703,000 after-tax), reflecting both the fourth quarter
charge as well as a charge of $12,600,000 reported in the first quarter of 1998
related to fees and expenses primarily associated with the February 1998
acquisition of Preferred Payment Systems. The results for the year ended
December 31, 1997, exclude a non-recurring charge of $38,625,000 ($29,040,000
after-tax) related to the August 1997 merger of Concentra's predecessor
companies.

         "The past several months have marked a distinct transition for our
Company as Concentra has shifted its focus from achieving top-line growth to a
goal of stable and consistent profitability over the long-term," said Daniel J.
Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Some of the
business we added in late 1997 and early 1998, particularly for field case
management and cost containment services, provided substantial additions to our
revenues. Yet, because of discounted pricing and start-up costs, this new
business generated minimal incremental earnings. Moreover, our focus on revenue
expansion distracted our attention from issues concerning the implementation of
new technology and the integration of our services, both of which we believe
will ultimately lead to more efficient and effective business processes and, in
turn, better information and outcomes for our customers.

                                     -MORE-

         "As the expenses associated with workplace safety and injury care
continue to mount, there is no question that the markets we serve, including
workers' compensation, auto and disability insurance, remain strong," he
continued. "Concentra continues to be well-positioned to serve these growing
markets with a full continuum of services that address the entire injury
episode. Based on this continuum, Concentra has the unique ability to bundle
service solutions to minimize the cost of injury care, speed recovery, and get
people back to work as quickly as possible.

         "While the industry backdrop is positive, however, we know there is
significant work still to be done in redefining our business model to meet the
needs and expectations of our customers and stockholders. We have made headway
in renegotiating certain underperforming contracts and reallocating our
resources in light of current business conditions. Also, we have commenced a
number of new technology initiatives that will allow us to integrate our people,
services and systems more effectively, manage our business better, and improve
the outcomes of the services we offer to customers. While these efforts will not
begin to benefit our operations in any substantial way until 2000 and beyond, we
believe they will ultimately enable us to expand the Company's revenue base and
achieve higher profit margins.

         "As we continue to focus on profitability and investment in new
technologies and processes, we expect to see overall revenue growth slow to
about 15% for 1999. Additionally, many of these new initiatives will have a
near-term adverse impact on margins and earnings. Consequently, we project
earnings per diluted share of approximately $0.90 to $0.95 for 1999. These
expectations should be viewed in the context of the results for the second half
of 1998 following the initiation of these changes. Beyond 1999, we anticipate
that total revenues will grow in the 12% to 15% range and annual earnings growth
will re-accelerate to a range of approximately 15% to 18%," he concluded.

         Thomas noted that the Company has completed a number of transactions
since September 30, 1998, which have added 18 occupational medicine centers to
Concentra's health services division. Several of these transactions, which
increased the number of centers in the Company's nationwide network to 156 at
year end and 169 at the present date, involved joint ventures with hospital
systems and entry into new markets. Concentra believes it will be able to
continue its expansion strategy in 1999 by adding approximately 15 to 20 more
centers during the balance of the year.

         Separately, the Company announced that as a result of the non-recurring
charge taken in the fourth quarter of 1998, it was not in compliance with
certain leverage ratio covenants of the Senior Credit Facility. The Company has
requested, and received, a temporary waiver from all of its lenders of any such
default. Currently, there are no borrowings outstanding under this facility.



         Concentra also reported that the Special Committee of the Board of
Directors continues to work with its advisor, BT Alex. Brown, to evaluate the
various strategic alternatives available to the Company. The Board formed this
committee late last year to consider a range of options, including remaining
independent and pursuing its existing or a modified strategy, or pursuing one of
the expressions of interest received by the Company regarding the possible
acquisition of some

or all of the Company's common stock. The Special Committee plans to complete
its evaluation and make a recommendation to the full Board of Directors by the
end of the first quarter of 1999.

those described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

*  Net income and earnings per share for the three and twelve months ended
   December 31, 1997, have been calculated as if Preferred Payment Systems, Inc.
   ("PPS") had been subject to federal and state income taxes for the entire
   period, based upon an effective tax rate indicative of the statutory rates in
   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.
