                                             Exhibit 99.9


           MAXICARE ANNOUNCES NON-CASH ADJUSTMENTS TO
                 1997 AND 1995 FINANCIAL RESULTS


LOS ANGELES, JUNE 12, 1998 - MAXICARE HEALTH PLANS, INC. (NASDAQ-
NMS:MAXI) announced today that  it  will restate its consolidated
financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 1997.
The adjustments  reflect  the  reversals  of  both  a $10 million
increase  in  estimated   amounts   due   the  Company  from  the
Pennsylvania Department  of  Public  Welfare  ("DPW") recorded in
1995 and a $10 million  charge  in  1997 relating thereto.  These
adjustments  do   not   impact   the   Company's  1998  financial
statements.

The principal effect of  the  restatement  is to: 1) decrease the
Company's loss in  the  first  quarter  of  1997  by $10 million,
resulting in the reduction  of  the previously reported full year
1997 net loss of $35.1  million  to  $25.1 million; and 2) reduce
the Company's net income  in  the  fourth  quarter of 1995 by $10
million, resulting in the previously  reported full year 1995 net
income of $27.7 million being reduced to $17.7 million.

In addition, the Company's  total assets and shareholders' equity
as of December 31, 1995 and  1996  will be reduced by $10 million
from the previously reported  balances, but will remain unchanged
as of December 31, 1997.   The  adjustments have no effect on the
recorded balances of total  assets  or shareholders' equity as of
December 31, 1997 and are non-cash adjustments that do not impact
the Company's  previously  reported  cash  flows  for  any of the
restatement periods.  

The Company has been  in  litigation  with  the DPW since 1990 in
connection  with  its  claims  for  amounts  due  by  the  DPW of
approximately $29 million  plus  interest  thereon related to the
Company's prior operation of a Medicaid managed care program from
1986 through 1989.  Based  upon  an  evaluation  of the status of
these proceedings, the  Company  increased  the estimated amounts
due it from the DPW in the fourth quarter of 1995 from $5 million
to $15 million, after consultation  with, and the concurrence of,
the Company's outside auditors.  

In March 1997, the  Pennsylvania  Board  of Claims ruled that the
Company was not entitled  to  any  recovery on its claims against
the DPW. The Company believes the ruling of the Board of Claims

<PAGE>





to be erroneous and  is  appealing  the  ruling in State Court in
Pennsylvania, as well as pursuing  claims relating to this matter
in the Bankruptcy Court in  California.  The Company recorded, in
the first quarter  of  1997,  a  $16  million non-cash litigation
charge to fully reserve  for  the previously recorded estimate of
$15 million due the Company  from  the DPW and related litigation
costs.  Nevertheless, as a  result of discussing this matter with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission, the Company is restating
its financial statements for the periods discussed herein.  

Selected financial data related  to  the statements of operations
and balance sheets for the  three  years ended December 31, 1997,
as previously reported, together with  such data as restated, are
presented below.

Maxicare Health Plans, Inc. is  a managed healthcare company with
operations in  California,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Louisiana, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Wisconsin.
