ProVantage Health Services, Inc.
13555 Bishops Court, Suite 201
Brookfield, Wisconsin 53005

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with the registration of 345,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of ProVantage Health Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on Form S-1 to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on July 14,
1999 (the "Registration Statement"), you have requested our opinion with respect
to the following matters. The Shares will be sold pursuant to a purchase
agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") substantially in the form filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

     In our capacity as your counsel in connection with such registration, we
are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company
in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Shares, and, for
purposes of this opinion, have assumed such proceedings will be timely completed
in the manner presently proposed.  In addition, we have made such legal and
factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or
copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such documents,
records and papers as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of
this opinion.  We have, with your consent, relied as to factual matters on
certificates or other documents furnished by the Company and upon such other
documents and data that we have deemed appropriate and, for purposes of this
opinion, have assumed that the certificates and other documents to be furnished
in connection with the closing of the sale of the Shares will be delivered in
the manner presently proposed.  We have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and
the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

     We are not members of the Bar of any jurisdiction other than the State of
Wisconsin, and, with your consent, we are opining herein only on the General
Corporation Law of the State of

Delaware and the laws of the State of Wisconsin. We express no opinion with
respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of any other laws
or the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     Based on such examination and review, and subject to the foregoing, we are
of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized, and, upon issuance,
delivery and payment therefor in the manner contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, subject to
Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes.

     Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes provides that shareholders
of a corporation may be assessed up to the par value of their shares to satisfy
the obligations of such corporation to its employees for services rendered, but
not exceeding six months service in the case of any individual employee.
Certain Wisconsin courts have interpreted "par value" to mean the full amount
paid by the purchaser of shares upon issuance thereof.  The Supreme Court of the
State of Wisconsin has interpreted the substantially similar predecessor to
(S)180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes to apply to foreign corporations
licensed to do business in Wisconsin.

     We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus that is a part of the Registration Statement.  In
giving such consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.

                              Very truly yours,

                              /s/ Godfrey & Kahn, S.C.

                              GODFREY & KAHN, S.C.
