MedE America Corporation

East Meadow, New York 11554

Ladies and Gentlemen:


     We  have  acted  as  counsel  to  MedE  America  Corporation,   a  Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing on or
about the date hereof of the Registration  Statement of the Company on Form S-1,
as amended  (the  "Registration  Statement")  pursuant to Rule 462(b)  under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the  "Securities  Act"),  relating to the
public  offering  (the  "Offering")  by  the  Company  of up to  516,043  shares
(including  67,310 shares  subject to  over-allotment  options) of Common Stock,
$.01 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock"). The Registration  Statement
registers  additional  shares  to be sold in the  public  offering  of shares of
Common Stock contemplated by a Registration Statement of the Company on Form S-1
(SEC File No.  333-55977),  which was declared  effective by the  Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 1, 1999.

     In  that  connection,  we  have  participated  in  the  preparation  of the
Registration   Statement,   including  the  Prospectus  contained  therein  (the
"Prospectus") and have reviewed certain corporate  proceedings.  In addition, we
have  examined  originals or copies  certified or  otherwise  identified  to our
satisfaction,  of  such  corporate  records,  agreements,  documents  and  other
instruments,  and such certificates or comparable  documents of public officials
and of officers and  representatives of the Company, as we have deemed necessary
to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

     In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of natural persons,  the authenticity of all documents  submitted
to us as  originals,  the  conformity  to original  documents  of all  documents
submitted to us as certified or photostatic  copies and the  authenticity of all
such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that
have not been  independently  established,  we have relied upon  certificates or
comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.

<PAGE>


     Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we
are of the opinion that:

     1. The Company is a  corporation  duly  incorporated  and validly  existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware.

     2. The  shares of Common  Stock to be  registered  for sale by the  Company
under the Registration  Statement have been duly authorized and, when issued and
paid for as contemplated by the Prospectus,  will be validly issued,  fully paid
and non-assessable.

     The  opinions  expressed  herein are limited to the  corporate  laws of the
State of  Delaware  and we express  no  opinion as to the effect on the  matters
covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     The  opinions  expressed  herein are  rendered  solely for your  benefit in
connection with the  transactions  described  herein.  These opinions may not be
used or  relied  upon by any other  person,  nor may this  letter or any  copies
thereof be furnished to a third party, filed with a governmental agency,  quoted
cited or otherwise referred to without our prior written consent.

     We hereby  consent  to the filing of this  opinion  as  Exhibit  5.1 to the
Registration Statement. In giving the foregoing consent, we do not admit that we
are in the category of persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the
Securities  Act or the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission promulgated thereunder.

                                            Very truly yours,
