                                ----------------

         On June 22 1999, Provident American Corporation ("Provident" or the
"Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report that effective on May
13, 1999 the Company entered into several transactions set forth below which
resolved certain disputes which existed between the Company, its subsidiary,
HealthAxis.com, Inc. ("HealthAxis") and HealthPlan Services, Inc. and HealthPlan
Services Corporation ("HPS"). The purpose of this Form 8-K/A is to clarify the
description of the agreement under the caption "Commitment to pay outstanding
HPS service fees to HPS".

Item 5.  Other Matters.

         On May 13, 1999 the Company entered into several transactions set forth
below which resolved certain disputes which existed between the Company, its
subsidiary, HealthAxis.com, Inc. ("HealthAxis") and HealthPlan Services, Inc.
and HealthPlan Services Corporation ("HPS").

         Sale of Montgomery Management: Effective March 31, 1999 the Company
sold its remaining 20% of Montgomery Management Corporation ("MMC") common stock
to HPS for a purchase price of $1.5 million, payment of which was made by a set
off of a like amount against future service fees otherwise due by the Company to
HPS.

         Under the terms of a previous agreement, in February 1998, the Company
sold to HPS for $4 million, 49% of MMC common stock along with a warrant to
purchase an additional 31% of MMC's common stock for one dollar. Immediately
prior to the sale MMC declared a dividend payable to Provident Indemnity Life
Insurance Company, a subsidiary of the Company, equal to MMC's total equity.
During the fourth quarter of 1998 HPS exercised the warrant to purchase the
additional 31% of MMC's common stock for $8,000.

         Commitment to pay outstanding HPS service fees to HPS: In conjunction
with the sale of MMC described above, the Company entered into a settlement
agreement to resolve a number of disputes which had arisen between the Company
and HPS relative to HPS' performance of administrative services under an HPS
outsourcing agreement of the now ceded block of the Company's health business.
The companies agreed to settle all differences and claims related to the HPS
outsourcing agreement and certain actions taken by HealthAxis regarding
HealthAxis' obligations under agreements between the parties. Also, in
accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement, HPS exercised a warrant
granted in 1998 in connection with the HPS e-commerce Agreement dated May 29,
1998, and purchased 100,000 shares of Company common stock for a purchase price
of $900,000. The purchase price was paid by a setoff of a like amount against
the service fees owed by the Company to HPS. The remaining balance of the
services fees owed by the Company to HPS, in the amount of $1,267,000, is
required to be paid by the Company to HPS on or before June 30, 1999, whereupon
the Company's obligation to pay service fees shall be terminated.

       Stock Purchase Agreement to buy-back HealthAxis common stock from HPS: On
May 13, 1999 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement for the
purchase of 1,415,000 shares of HealthAxis common stock from HPS for $7,040,000
to close on or before June 30, 1999. If the Company does not close on or before
June 30, 1999 the Company will pay HPS a late fee of

$100,000 to extend closing until July 30, 1999. If a closing does not occur by
July 30, 1999, the purchase price per share shall increase by 8 1/2% per month
until closing, which is required to occur on or before November 1, 1999.
