               HBOC COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF PEGASUS MEDICAL, LTD

     ATLANTA, July 10, 1995 -- HBO & Company today announced it has completed
the acquisition of Pegasus Medical, LTD, a privately held Israeli software
company with offices in Jerusalem and Boston.  Pegasus was formed  in 1992 by
two physicians to develop and market a computer-based patient record known as
The Smart Medical Record (SMR-TM-), a pen-based system designed for the
physician's office and across the continuum of care.  The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase.

     "The majority of physicians in the United States use paper charts to
document a patient's clinical information," stated Charles W. McCall, HBOC
President and Chief Executive Officer.  "HBOC sees a tremendous opportunity for
computerized patient records in physician offices, not only for ease of access
and storage but also to evaluate outcomes and the cost of providing services.

     Staffed heavily by physicians, Pegasus brings to HBOC the medical know-how
and creativity required to develop a computerized patient record that physicians
will embrace, stated founder Isaac Bentwich, M.D., who will continue to lead
development efforts.  "HBOC brings a larger vision as well as the technology and
infrastructure to make our efforts a success," he said.  "Together, I believe we
can build the best computer-based patient record in the world."

     HBOC delivers enterprisewide patient care, clinical, financial and
strategic management software solutions, as well as networking technologies,
outsourcing and other services to healthcare organizations in the United States,
United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
