The Company is a national leader in offering health care coverage and
related services through a broad continuum of products and services. The
Company served over 40 million covered lives at December 31, 1995. The
Company's products and services utilize a number of core capabilities,
including medical information management, health care delivery management,

acquired HealthWise of America, Inc. ("HealthWise"), a provider of a broad
range of managed health care services to approximately 144,000 members
through HMOs in Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee and Arkansas. The acquisition

Kentucky and Maryland markets.

USE OF PROCEEDS

exercise of warrants will be used for general corporate purposes.

EXPERTS
The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 have been audited
by Arther Anderson LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in their
report with respect thereto, and new Rida 5A incorporated herein by reference in
reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in giving said report.
With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, Arthur Andersen LLP has applied limited
procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of that
information. However, their separate report thereon states that they did not
audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information.
Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on that information should
be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.
In addition, the accountants are not subject to the liability provisions of
Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited
interim financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part"
of the registration statement prepared or certified by the accountants within
the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the Shares offered hereby has been passed upon for the
Company by Kevin H. Roche, General Counsel of the Company.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Minnesota Statutes Section 302A.521 provides that a corporation shall

reason of the former or present official capacity of such person against
judgments, penalties, fines (including, without limitation, excise taxes
assessed against such person with respect to any employee benefit plan),
settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding, if,
with respect to the acts or omissions of such person complained of in the
proceeding, such person (1) has not been indemnified therefor by another
organization or employee benefit plan; (2) acted in good faith; (3) received
no improper personal benefit and Section 302A.255 (with respect to director
conflicts of interest), if applicable, has been satisfied; (4) in the case of
a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful; and (5) reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best
interests of the corporation in the case of acts or omissions in such
person's official capacity for the corporation or reasonably believed that
the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the corporation in the
case of acts or omissions in such person's official capacity for other
affiliated organizations. Article IX of the Bylaws of United provides that
the Company shall indemnify officers and directors to the extent permitted by
Section 302A.521 as now enacted or hereafter amended.
The Company also carries a directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(A) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(B) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement.
(C) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-
effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
II-2
<PAGE>
(c) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Re: United HealthCare Corporation
22,135 Shares of Common Stock
Form S-3 Registration Statement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am General Counsel for United HealthCare Corporation ("UHC"), a
Minnesota corporation. UHC is filing a Registration Statement on Form S-3
(the "Registration Statement") covering the sale of 22,135 shares of the
common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock") of UHC pursuant to warrants
UHC assumed in connection with a merger with HealthWise of America, Inc.
("HealthWise").
In connection with the rendering of this opinion, I, or members of my
staff, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified
to my satisfaction, of such instruments, documents, certificates, agreements
and records as I have deemed necessary or appropriate under the circumstances
for the purpose of rendering this opinion. In so acting, I have examined and
relied upon the accuracy of original, certified, conformed, photostatic, or
telecopied copies of such instruments, documents, certificates, agreements
and records. In all such examinations, I have assumed the genuineness and due
authorization of all signatures on, and the authenticity and completeness of,
all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity to such
original documents of all copies submitted to me as copies, and the veracity
and completeness of statements, both written and oral, made by officers or
other representatives of UHC and HealthWise. As to various questions of fact
material to my opinion, I have relied upon the veracity of the factual
representations made by UHC and HealthWise in certificates and in other
statements, both written and oral, from officers and other representatives of
UHC and HealthWise, and upon certificates and other written or telephonic
statements of public officials, and I have assumed that the facts and
circumstances contained in such certificates and other statements are true
and complete and have not changed since the date thereof. I have assumed that
all conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties to consummate the
transactions under the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived. I have
also assumed the legal capacity for all purposes relevant hereto of all
natural persons and, with respect to all parties to agreements or instruments
relevant hereto other than UHC, that such parties had the requisite power and
authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform such
agreements or instruments, that such agreements or instruments have been duly
authorized by all requisite action (corporate or otherwise), executed and
delivered by such parties and that such agreements or instruments are the
valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties. I have also
assumed that the Common Stock will be issued as described in the Registration
Statement.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the shares of Common
Stock to be issued by UHC in connection with the Registration Statement, when
issued will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
This opinion is given as of the date set forth above and I assume no
obligation to advise you of any changes, whether or not material, which may
be brought to my attention at a later date. This opinion is limited to the
matters stated herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the
matters expressly stated herein.
I am a member of the Bar of the State of Minnesota only and do not hold
myself out as an expert on the law of any other state or of any foreign
county. This opinion is rendered solely for, and may be
<PAGE>
relied upon only by, you in connection with the transaction the Registration
Statement describes. Finally, this opinion may not be disseminated to, or
relied upon by, any other person or entity for any other purpose without my
prior written consent.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, and to the reference to me under the heading "Legal
Matters" in the Prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
/s/ Kevin H. Roche
