United HealthCare Corporation
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 1995 Operating Results
February 29, 1996 -- 2


For the full year 1995, total revenues increased 50.5 percent to $5.67 billion
compared to $3.77 billion for 1994.  Net earnings for 1995 (excluding
restructuring charges) were $382.9 million, up 23.3 percent from net operating
earnings of $310.4 million reported in 1994. Earnings per common share for 1995
(excluding restructuring charges) were $2.12, a 20 percent increase over
operating earnings of $1.77 per common share reported in 1994.

United HealthCare Chairman and CEO, William McGuire, M.D., said "We are very
pleased with our company's calendar year and fourth quarter operating results.
In spite of the increased competitive pressures we experienced in 1995, both the
operating performance and enrollment growth of the company remained strong.  In
fact, enrollment accelerated from already outstanding trends.  For example, in
the combined United and MetraHealth markets, we added a total of  351,600 health
plan enrollees over the four month period from October 1995 through January
1996. This included 206,800 enrollees in the month of January alone.
Importantly, we currently believe the excellent commercial and Medicare
enrollment growth trends will continue in our health plans -- both in terms of
new sales and  conversion of existing MetraHealth indemnity customers.  The
progress of  the MetraHealth integration and its early performance are also very
encouraging."

The $153.8 million in restructuring charges associated with the MetraHealth
acquisition reflects the expected impact on United HealthCare's operations of
integrating the business activities of the combined companies.  It includes
provision for business realignment and elimination in the areas of
administration, products, networks, information systems, and duplicate leased
facilities.

MetraHealth markets,  United's health plans experienced record growth:

   . Fourth quarter 1995 same store total enrollment was up 120,100 or 4.1
     percent. This is almost double the comparable 64,800 enrollees added in the
     fourth quarter 1994.
   . December year-over-year same store enrollment was up 527,400 or 21 percent.
   . Fourth quarter Medicare enrollment increased 10,700 or 7.8  percent from
     the previous quarter.
   . Full year Medicare enrollment was up 38,900 or 35.7 percent from the
     previous year.
   . Fourth quarter Medicaid enrollment grew 21,400 or 6.5 percent from the
     previous quarter.
   . Full year Medicaid enrollment increased 66,700 or 23.4 percent from the
     previous year.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 1995 Operating Results
February 29, 1996 -- 3


This momentum carried into 1996 with January enrollment in these owned United
HealthCare plans up 166,300 or 5.5 percent over December 1995.  January results
included a 5,500 increase in Medicare enrollment.

Health plan enrollment in former MetraHealth markets in the month of January
1996 grew a very strong 8.8 percent, up to 40,500 enrollees, to a total of
502,300 enrollees.  The company believes that this growth underscores the
potential of these markets and products, and the opportunity for movement of
business from indemnity/non-network products towards managed care solutions.

Medical Costs:  The company noted that the aggregate medical expense ratio, the

percent of premium revenue expensed as medical costs, rose to 81.6 percent in
the fourth quarter of 1995 from 79.3 percent in the third quarter of 1995.  This
rise is primarily attributed to the shift in the mix of business with the fourth
quarter addition of MetraHealth.  Viewed separately, the company's commercial
and Medicare health plan products experienced stable health costs from third to
fourth quarter 1995, even with their large enrollment growth.

For the full-year 1995, the aggregate medical expense ratio was 79.7 percent.
This compares to the 78.3 percent medical expense ratio reported for the full-
year 1994.  This higher ratio is largely attributable to the slightly higher
medical expense ratio experienced by United HealthCare during 1995 (primarily in
its Medicaid products) and to the shift in the mix of business resulting from
the fourth quarter 1995 acquisition of MetraHealth.

SG&A Ratios:  SG&A spending was 24.2 percent of total revenues for the fourth

quarter of 1995 compared to the 14.3 percent reported in the third quarter of
1995.   This increase is due to higher SG&A ratios associated with the former
MetraHealth products as a greater proportion of that business consists of fee-
based/self-funded products rather than full-premium/funded type products.  For
the full-year 1995, SG&A spending was 18.2 percent of total revenues.  This
compares to the 14.7 percent reported in 1994.

The company has already realized SG&A savings as a result of the MetraHealth
integration, and currently expects that SG&A, as a percent of total revenues,
will decrease in 1996 from the ratio reported in the fourth quarter of 1995.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 1995 Operating Results
February 29, 1996 -- 4


McGuire added, "For United HealthCare as well as for the managed care industry
as a whole, 1995 was a challenging year.  In previous years we succeeded in
substantially reducing the rate of medical inflation in our health plans.   In
1995 we were faced with the challenge to continue to grow the business, control
costs, and produce growth in revenue and profits in an environment that saw
little, if any, increases in premiums. I believe that United HealthCare
weathered this environment extremely well.  Paced by record enrollment growth, a
new focus on our Medicare business, and continued attention to controlling costs
while still committing significant investment to systems development, product
expansion, and growth of overseas markets, we were once again able to show
outstanding growth in revenue and earnings. We believe that the acquisition of
MetraHealth at the beginning of the fourth quarter strengthens the company's
ability to realize sustained growth by broadening both our range of products and
the geography we now serve. United HealthCare is extremely well-positioned to
help ensure that our nation's health care system is accessible, accountable, and
cost effective."
