Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.

         Peter R. Dupee, Jr. (the "Filing Party") filed a Schedule 13-D with a
report date of May 8, 1998 (the "Schedule 13D") in connection with entering into
an agreement, dated May 8, 1998 (the "Settlement Agreement"), among the Filing
Party, American Opportunity Trust Plc, J.O. Hambro Capital Management Limited
and North Atlantic Smaller Companies Investment Trust Plc (collectively, the
"Settling Shareholders") and Maxicare Health Plans, Inc. (the "Company").

         Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, among other things, the Filing
Person was elected as a director of the Company and the Company and each of the
Settling Shareholders entered into separate voting agreements (each, a "Voting
Agreement") whereby each Settling Shareholder agreed to take certain action in
connection with and at the Company's 1998 annual meeting of stockholders, which
was held on July 30, 1998. As a result, since July 30, 1998, Mr. Dupee has had
no continuing obligations under the Settlement Agreement other than his
individual obligation not to take any of the following actions in respect of the
Company prior to the 1999 annual meeting of shareholders: execute a written
consent of shareholders in lieu of a meeting or solicit any such consents, or
vote for shareholders to call a special meeting of shareholders or solicit votes
for shareholders to call such a meeting.

         As previously reported in the Schedule 13D, the Filing Party has not
acted in concert with the Settling Shareholders or any other party with respect
to the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), since the
execution and delivery of the Settlement Agreement, and Voting Agreements and is
not a member of a group. Since his beneficial ownership of the Company's Common
Stock is less than 5% and the action provided for in the Settlement Agreement
has been taken, the Filing Party's obligations with respect to the filing of any
further amendments to the Schedule 13-D have terminated.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         As of December 3, 1998, the Filing Party beneficially owned 657,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock, constituting approximately 3.7% of the
Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 17,925,381 shares
outstanding as of November 13, 1998, as reported in the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1998). As previously
reported on Form 4, the Filing Party acquired an aggregate of 329,900 shares of
Common Stock during August and September, 1998. The Filing Party did not make
any sales or purchases of the Company's Common Stock during the 60 days prior to
the date of this filing.

         After reasonable inquiry and to the best of his knowledge and belief,
the undersigned hereby certifies that the information set forth in this Schedule
is true, complete and correct.

Dated:  December 7, 1998
