                         CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Transaction Valuation:  *                    Amount of filing fee:
       $226,724,985                                       $45,345
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* For purposes of calculating fee only. This amount is based on a per share
offering price of $12.25 for 18,150,000 shares of common stock and for
options to purchase 358,162 options with strike prices lower than $12.25
that may become exercisable before or during a subsequent offer period, if
any. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 4, 2000,
by and among ProVantage Health Services, Inc. (the "Company"), Merck & Co.,
Inc. and PV Acquisition Corp. (together, the "Bidders"), the Company
represented to the Bidders that, as of such date, it had 18,150,000 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding and 873,309 shares of common stock
reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options, none of
which are currently exercisable and all of which will become exercisable
before or during a subsequent offer period, if any. The amount of the
filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, equals 1/50 of one percent of the
aggregate of the cash offered by the Bidder.

          [X] Check box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by
          Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting
