                        CONCENTRA OPERATING CORPORATION
                         REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS


     ADDISON, Texas, April 26, 2000 - Concentra Operating Corporation
("Concentra") today announced financial results for its first quarter ended
March 31, 2000.  Highlights of the quarter included a 17% increase in revenues
and a 19% increase in EBITDA when compared to first quarter of the prior year.
Revenue and EBITDA growth in the Company's Health Services, Concentra Preferred
Systems and First Notice Systems businesses contributed significantly to the
Company's results.

     Revenues for the first quarter were $181,096,000 compared with $155,411,000
for the same period last year, reflecting an overall 17% increase.  Operating
income increased 15% to $16,369,000 versus $14,216,000 for the first quarter of
the prior year.  Concentra reported net income of $231,000 for the first quarter
of 2000 as compared with net income of $6,068,000 in the first quarter of 1999.
As expected, the Company's lower net income reflected the impact of interest
expense associated with new credit facilities put in place to help facilitate
Concentra's August 1999 recapitalization.

     Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"),
as computed in a manner consistent with the definition set forth in the
Company's $190 million Series A Senior Subordinated Notes, increased 19% to
$26,186,000 in the first quarter of 2000 versus $22,035,000 reported for the
comparable 1999 period.

     "Our core business lines - Concentra Health Services, Concentra Preferred
Systems and First Notice Systems - continued to expand throughout the first
quarter, providing us with a strong overall increase in revenues and EBITDA,"
commented Daniel J. Thomas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Concentra.
"We also witnessed increasing stability in our field case management business
which, while operating somewhat below the level seen last year, showed a slight
increase in revenue and earnings compared with the fourth quarter of 1999.  In
each of these four major lines of business, revenue and EBITDA growth exceeded
our original expectations for the quarter."

     Thomas pointed out that the Health Services division continues to emerge as
a key driver of the Company's growth, cash flow and profitability.   This
division accounted for 52% of Concentra's total first quarter revenues and
provided the bulk of the Company's $25.7 million in incremental revenue during
the quarter.   Concentra Health Services, the nation's largest network of
occupational healthcare centers, benefited from strong internal growth in the
first quarter.  The number of visits to Concentra's centers increased 28.5% in
total compared with the prior year and 8.5% on a same-market basis,

reflecting a slightly higher mix of non-injury visits. Same-market revenues rose
8.0% compared with the same period last year. Concentra Health Services
currently operates 216 centers located in 63 markets in 32 states.

     "While we are gratified by the growth and financial contributions of
Concentra Health Services, we also are pleased to note that key areas of our
specialized cost containment business continue to expand successfully," Thomas
said.  "In particular, Concentra Preferred Systems continues to make solid gains
in growing its customer base, and First Notice Systems, while still a small part
of our overall operations, is our fastest growing line of business.

     "Even with this strong and successful start to the new year, we realize
that it would be premature to draw long-term conclusions from the results of
just one quarter, and we recognize that there is much we must do to further
improve our operations," he added.  "Nevertheless, we are encouraged by this
progress and believe these results further validate our strategies to work in
partnership with employers and insurers to control healthcare costs as we expand
our presence in occupational healthcare and in other key healthcare markets."

     During the first quarter of 2000, Concentra increased its borrowings under
its $100 million revolving credit facility to $24.5 million to compensate for
previously anticipated seasonal working capital increases, capital expenditures
and acquisition expenditures.

     Concentra Operating Corporation, the successor to and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Concentra Managed Care, Inc., is the comprehensive outsource
solution for containing healthcare costs.  Serving the occupational, auto, and
group healthcare markets, Concentra offers prospective and retrospective
services to employers and payors by providing pre-employment testing, loss
prevention services, first report of loss, injury care, specialist networks and
other specialized cost containment services.
