     By the filing of this  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 1 to the  registration
statement on Form S-8, Registration No. 33-41543 (the "Registration  Statement")
of Sierra Health Services, Inc. (the "Company"),  the Company hereby deregisters
174,131 shares of Common Stock, $.005 par value per share, the offer and sale of
which  pursuant  to the  Company's  1986 Stock  Option  Plan (the  "Plan")  were
registered  under the  Registration  Statement,  as  originally  filed  with the
Commission  on July 3,  1991.  The  174,131  shares  being  deregistered  hereby
represent  part but not all of the 1,250,000  shares  originally  covered by the
Registration  Statement,  and are  being  deregistered  in  connection  with the
transfer of such unused shares to the Company's  registration  statement on Form
S-8,  being filed  contemporaneously  herewith,  relating to the 1995  Long-Term
Incentive  Plan, as amended and restated and certain  other plans.  After giving
effect to the deregistration of shares by this Post-Effective Amendment, 409,524
shares will remain registered and unsold under the Registration Statement (based
on Plan  information  as of July 31, 1998).  All share  figures  relating to the
Registration  Statement and this Post-Effective  Amendment have been adjusted to
include shares which became  issuable under the Plan as a result of stock splits
and stock  dividends or similar  transactions,  since the original filing of the
Registration Statement,  in accordance with the anti-dilution  provisions of the
Plan and Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
