            HBOC Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire AMISYS Managed Care
                                    Systems, Inc.

    ATLANTA, February 11, 1997 -- HBO & Company (Nasdaq:HBOC) today announced
it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire AMISYS Managed Care Systems,
Inc. (Nasdaq:AMCS), a leading provider of information systems for managed care
entities and other parties that assume financial risk for healthcare
populations.  The acquisition, which is subject to regulatory and AMISYS
shareholder approval, will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and is
scheduled to close during the second quarter of 1997.  Terms of the acquisition
call for AMISYS shareholders to receive 0.35 of a share of HBOC common stock for
each share of AMISYS common stock.

    AMISYS, based in Rockville, MD had 1995 revenue of $31.8 million and has
approximately 260 employees.  The company has over eighty customers including
Providence Health System, Portland, OR and BC/BS of Tennessee (TennCare).

    "AMISYS brings to HBOC a strong managed care product and commercial HMO
customer base that expands our presence within the traditional payer
marketplace" stated Charles W. McCall, HBOC president and chief executive
officer.  "As the line between traditional payers and providers continues to
blur, we want to build the broadest, best of breed product portfolio for our
customers that supports all needs of a healthcare organization."

    "The merger with HBOC allows AMISYS to continue on its very successful path
as the nation's leading managed care software vendor, while at the same time
provides added product and resources to address additional market segments,
particularly the provider market" stated Kevin R. Brown, AMISYS chairman,
president and chief executive officer.

    AMISYS is a leading provider of information systems that automate the
activities of managed care entities and other parties that assume the financial
risks of healthcare.  The AMISYS system is composed of 27 fully integrated
applications designed to support a full range of risk management activities,
including premium billing, capitation, utilization management and claims
adjudication.

    HBO & Company 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.
