Report of Independent Accountants

To the Plan Administrator
Humana Puerto Rico 1165(e) Retirement Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits presents fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Humana Puerto Rico 1165(e) Retirement Plan (the Plan)
(formerly PCA Puerto Rico 165(e) Retirement Plan) at December 31, 1998 and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit of
these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, investment assets held by Merrill Lynch, formerly
Barclays Global Investors, N.A., the custodian of the Plan, and transactions
in those assets were excluded from the scope of our audit of the Plan's 1997
financial statements, except for comparing the information provided by the
custodian, which is summarized in Note 3, with the related information
included in the financial statements and supplemental schedules.

Because of the significance of the information that we did not audit, we are
unable to, and do not, express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements
as of December 31, 1997.  The form and content of the information included in
the 1997 financial statements and supplemental schedules, other than that
derived from the information certified by the custodian, have been audited by
us and, in our opinion, are presented in compliance with the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Our audit of the Plan's financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1998 was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and of reportable transactions are presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund
information in the notes to the statements of net assets available for
benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the
net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund. These supplemental schedules and fund information are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.  The supplemental schedules and
fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audit of the basic financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1998 and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Summary of Plan:

The Humana Puerto Rico 1165(e) Retirement Plan (the Plan), formerly the PCA
Puerto Rico 165(e) Retirement Plan, is a qualified, trusteed plan established
for the benefit of the employees of Humana Health Plans of Puerto Rico, Inc.,
and who are residents of Puerto Rico. The Plan is subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Physicians Corporation of
America Inc. (the Company), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Humana Inc.
(Humana), is the sponsor of the Plan and offers managed health care products
that integrate medical management with the delivery of health care services
through a network of providers.

a. Contributions: Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan maintains two accounts,
   the Pretax Savings Account and the Retirement Account, a profit sharing
   account. Contributions made prior to January 1, 1998 were invested in
   Merrill Lynch until December 1, 1998 when the assets previously held in
   trust by Merrill Lynch were transferred to the Humana Retirement and
   Savings Master Trust (Master Trust) at National City Bank of Kentucky (the
   Trustee) and are maintained in a separate account, the Prior Trust Account.

   Effective January 1, 1998, any employee of the Company who is employed with
   a sponsoring employer is eligible to participate in the Plan's Pretax
   Savings Account. A participant, through payroll deductions, may contribute
   not less than 1% nor more than 6% of the participant's compensation pay per
   period. Effective after January 1, 1998 on the date the Company so elects,
   an automatic contribution in the amount of 3% of the participant's
   compensation shall be made beginning on the employee's date of hire, unless
   the employee elects not to participate in the Pretax Savings Account or
   elects a different percentage up to 6%. As of December 31, 1998, the
   Company had not elected to begin this automatic contribution.  An amount
   equal to 50% of the participant's contribution is contributed by the
   Company for any participating employee who has completed at least one year
   of service with at least 1,000 hours of service. The Board of Directors of
   the Company, at its option, may increase this matching percentage up to
   100%. Participants who contribute the maximum 6% amount are eligible to
   make voluntary contributions of amounts which do not exceed an additional
   4% of their annual compensation. These voluntary contributions are not
   subject to employer matching contributions. All matching contributions
   shall be invested in the Humana Common Stock Fund.  Prior to January 1,
   1998, employees became eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of
   one year of service during which at least 1,000 hours of service were
   rendered to the Company.  Participation in the Plan commenced at inception
   or on the first January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1 date coinciding
   with or immediately following the completion of the eligibility
   requirements. Each year, a participant could have contributed up to 10% of
   their annual compensation. The Company,at its discretion, could match up
   to 50% of the participant's contribution up to 7% of the compensation. All
   matching contributions shall be invested in the Humana Common Stock Fund.


Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

1. Summary of Plan, continued:
   a. Contributions, continued: Effective January 1, 1998, after an employee
   completes two years of service with a sponsoring employer and has complied
   with certain other service requirements, the employee becomes eligible to
   participate in the profit sharing. For the calendar year ended December 31,
   1998, the Company declared a profit sharing contribution of approximately
   $124,800. This contribution was made into the Retirement Account of the
   Plan and was allocated to the participants based on an amount equal to 4%
   of each participating employee's qualifying compensation earned during the
   plan year, plus 4% of any compensation that exceeds the social security
   taxable wage base. Contribution amounts are computed as of the end of each
   plan year and are nonforfeitable.

   On September 15, 1998 the Company announced a one-time special $1,000
   contribution to each eligible employee of the Company, tied to each
   associate's vesting, who was employed on September 15, 1998.  The total
   employer cost for the special contribution was $401,000.

   Contributions to the Plan by or on behalf of employees may be restricted
   in amount and as to timing so as to meet various requirements of the
   Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986 as amended.

   Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions
   and the Company's contributions and the allocations of plan earnings and
   charged with an allocation of administrative expenses.  Allocations are
   based on participants' account balances.

   Effective January 1, 1998 contributions to the Plan are invested by the
   Trustee in nine separate participant directed investment funds as follows:

     Interest Income Fund:  Invests primarily in contracts with banks and
     insurance companies. The fund may also invest in cash and cash
     equivalents.

     Stock Index Fund:  Invests primarily in units of the State Street
     Flagship Domestic Index Commingled Trust Fund which invests exclusively
     in securities which make up the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Price
     Index.

     Humana Common Stock Fund:  Invests primarily in Humana's common stock,
     or in U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and
     money market funds as determined by the Trustee.  All employer
     contributions to the Pretax Savings Account are invested in this fund.
     Employer contributions may be made in cash, in shares of Humana common
     stock, or a combination thereof.  At December 31, 1998, this fund
     included $489,411 of nonparticipant directed funds related to the 401(k)
     employer match.

     Aggressive Growth Fund:  Invests primarily in shares of Fidelity
     Contrafund which invests in common stocks and securities convertible
     into common stock which are undervalued in comparison to their future
     growth potential.  The Fidelity Contrafund may also invest in preferred
     stocks, foreign securities, covered call options, put options,
     repurchase agreements, and cash equivalent securities.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

1. Summary of Plan, continued:

   a. Contributions, continued:

     Balanced Fund: Invests primarily in shares of Invesco Value Trust which
     invests in a diversified mix of securities including common and
     preferred stocks, corporate and U.S. Government bonds, and cash and cash
     equivalents, the objective of which is to emphasize current income while
     secondarily striving to attain capital growth.

     International Fund:  Invests primarily in shares of Harbor International
     Fund which invests in equity securities, American Depositary Receipts,
     European Depositary Receipts, securities convertible into common stock,
     government securities, and nonconvertible preferred stocks of issuers
     domiciled outside the United States, so as to achieve long-term growth
     of capital.  The Harbor International Fund may also invest in cash
     equivalent securities, such as U.S. Treasury bills,commercial paper and
     certificates of deposit.

     Small Capitalization Fund:  Invests primarily in shares of Blackrock
     Small Cap Fund which invests in equity securities consisting primarily
     of emerging growth companies and companies with high growth potential.
     The Blackrock Small Cap Fund may also temporarily invest in cash and
     cash equivalents.

     Long-Term Bond Fund: Invests primarily in shares of Pimco Fund which
     invests primarily in fixed income securities with average maturities of
     9 to 12 years. These may include bonds issued by corporations and the
     U.S. Government, mortgage-backed securities, certificates of deposit,
     foreign securities and other types of fixed income investments.

     Large Capitalization Fund: Invests primarily in shares of IDS New
     Dimensions Fund which invests primarily in common stocks of U.S.
     companies that operate in fields where dynamic economic or technological
     changes are taking place or that have excellent technologies, marketing
     or management.

     Prior to the transfer of assets previously held in trust by Merrill
     Lynch, a participant could direct contributions in any of the following
     investment options:

       Asset Allocation Fund: This fund invested in a mix of stocks, bonds and
       money market instruments.

       Bond Index Fund: This fund invested in bonds issued by the U.S.
       Treasury, U.S. Government agencies, and investment grade bonds issued
       by U.S. corporations.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

1. Summary of Plan, continued:

   a. Contributions, continued:

        Growth Stock Fund: This fund invested in stocks of established
        companies and newly issued stocks of smaller companies.

        Income Accumulation Fund: This fund invested primarily in
        guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic guaranteed investment
        contracts.

        International Equity Fund: This fund invested in the stocks of
        established companies based in Europe, Australia, and the Far East.

        S&P 500 Stock Fund: This fund invested in stocks included in the
        S&P 500.

        LifePath Funds: These funds were asset allocation funds and divided
        their investments among several asset classes (stocks, bonds, and
        money market instruments).

      A participant may allocate his/her contributions to the Pretax Savings
      Account and the Company's contribution to the Retirement Account
      among the various funds in increments of not less than 1%.  In the
      absence of such allocation, these contributions are invested in the
      Interest Income Fund.  In connection with a change in allocation of
      a participant's or the Company's future contributions among the nine
      plan funds and a change in the investment of existing accounts
      (Transfers), the value of Transfers to or from the Humana Common Stock
      Fund will reflect the price or prices at which all shares are purchased,
      sold or transferred before, on or after the participant's monthly
      election rather than transferring strictly based on the value at the
      monthly closing price.

      Employee contributions are nonforfeitable.  Participants who withdraw
      from the Pretax Savings Account prior to being credited with four
      years of participation or five years of service with the Company are
      eligible to receive generally the value of employer contributions at
      the withdrawal date, exclusive of those made during the two years
      preceding withdrawal.  Employer contributions become totally
      nonforfeitable after the participant is credited with four years of
      participation in the Plan or five years of service with the Company.
      However, participants who were in the Plan prior to January 1, 1998
      will be eligible to receive the value of employer contributions based
      on the better of the above vesting or the previously determined vesting
      where a participant was 100% vested after four years of credited
      service.  Forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested
      accounts are used to reduce future company contributions.  The benefit
      to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
      from the participant's vested account.


Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

1. Summary of Plan, continued:

   a. Contributions, continued: Employer contributions forfeited as a
      result of withdrawal following termination of employment will be
      available to reduce the amount of subsequent employer contributions
      to the Pretax Savings Account. If a former participant is re-employed
      prior to five consecutive one-year breaks in service and repays the
      amount of his/her distribution, then any forfeited employer
      contributions are restored to his/her account.

      There were approximately 400 participants at December 31, 1998
      who had allocated their contributions to one or more funds as follows:

        Interest Income Fund                    162
        Humana Common Stock Fund                407
        Aggressive Growth Fund                   95
        Stock Index Fund                        119
        Small Capitalization Fund                62
        Balanced Fund                            51
        International Fund                       51
        Large Capitalization Fund                54
        Long-Term Bond Fund                      53


   b. Withdrawals: The value of a participant's interest, including
      employer contributions, is generally payable upon the occurrence of one
      of the following events:  (1) the participant's retirement after
      attaining age 55; (2) a determination by the Company upon competent
      medical or other evidence that, by reason of permanent and total
      disability, the participant is incapable of performing the duties of
      his/her work; or (3) the participant's death.

      In the event funds are needed because of extreme financial hardship, as
      defined by law, the participant may be allowed to make a withdrawal of
      his/her vested account balance. In addition, the Plan contains
      restrictions relating to minimum withdrawals and the frequency of
      withdrawals.

      Benefits under the Plan are payable to withdrawing participants,
      including retirees, as follows:

      a. A lump-sum distribution in cash or, in the event of a distribution
         from the Humana Common Stock Fund, partially or totally in Humana
         common stock, or

      b. Monthly, quarterly or annual installments for a period of 5,
         10, 15 or 20 years not to exceed the life expectancy of the
         participant, or the joint and last survivor expectancy of the
         participant and designated beneficiary

   b. Withdrawals, continued:

      c. A life annuity paid monthly or quarterly, or

      d. A life annuity with guaranteed payments for a period of 5, 10, 15
         or 20 years.

      The Plan permits the employee to roll over contributions from another
      qualified plan.  An employee must make a written request to the
      Plan for a rollover contribution.  These contributions must comply with
      certain requirements before the Plan will authorize the rollover
      contribution.

      Participants may borrow from their fund accounts.  The aggregate of the
      loans to a participant shall not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of
      the vested portion of his/her participant contribution accounts,
      voluntary contribution accounts, plus his/her employer Pretax Savings
      Account to which he/she would be entitled to if he/she incurred a
      termination of employment.  The minimum a participant may borrow is
      $500.  Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the various
      investment funds from (to) the Participant Notes Fund.  Loan terms range
      from one to four years or up to ten years for the purchase of a primary
      residence.  The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's
      account and bear interest at a reasonable rate in accordance with the
      Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
      Disclosure under ERISA, as determined by the Plan Administrator.
      Principal and interest are repaid ratably through payroll deductions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

   a. Basis of Accounting: The financial statements of the Plan are prepared
      under the accrual method of accounting. Benefits are recorded
      when paid.  Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a
      trade-date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
      Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

   b. Valuation of Investments: Investments in securities traded on a
      national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales
      price on the last business day of the year; securities traded in the
      over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was
      reported on that date are valued at the mean between the last reported
      bid and asked prices.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

   b. Valuation of Investments, continued: The Interest Income Fund
      investments include, among others, investment contracts, collateralized
      mortgage obligations, bonds, asset-backed securities and other fixed
      income obligations such as commercial paper.

      Investment contracts with insurance companies are fully benefit-
      responsive and are carried at contract value, which represents
      contributions, plus interest earned at specified rates, less withdrawals
      and administrative expenses.  Investment contracts with banks are
      carried at fair value.  Included in these investment contracts are
      synthetic GIC's which are fully benefit-responsive and are carried at
      contract value.  The collateralized mortgage obligations, bonds and
      asset-backed securities are recorded at fair value.  These securities
      are not listed on a national securities exchange.  The fair values
      represent the mean of bid and asked prices obtained from certified
      investment brokers.

      The Plan presents in the accompanying statements of changes in
      net assets available for benefits the net appreciation or depreciation
      in fair value of investments which consists of both realized gains or
      losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

   c. Management Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in
      conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amounts of net assets available for benefits and disclosure of
      contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
      statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from
      net assets during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
      from those estimates.


3. Investments:

   Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan's investment assets are held by the
   Master Trust. Earnings of the Master Trust are allocated between the Plan
   and the Humana Retirement and Savings Plan based on each plan's investment
   balance to the total Master Trust investment balance.  Earnings are
   further allocated to the respective participants based on each
   participant's respective asset total to total plan assets.

4. Income Tax Status:

   The Plan was established pursuant to the provisions of Section
165(e) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 1954 (the Act).  A favorable
tax status determination letter dated May 22, 1995 was obtained from the
Treasury Department of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which stated
that its underlying trust qualifies under the applicable provisions of
the Act and,therefore, is exempt from Puerto Rico income taxes. The Plan
has been amended since receiving the determination letter; however, the
Company and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is
currently operating in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
Act. The Plan was amended to comply with Section 1165(e) of the Puerto
Rico Income Tax Act of 1994.

5. Plan Termination:

   Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any
time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. If the
Plan is terminated, the interest of each participant would continue to
be nonforfeitable and would be distributed as determined by the
Company.

6. Related Party Transactions:

   Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan and
allocated to the participants' accounts.
