FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                    HEALTH MANAGEMENT, INC. ISSUES UPDATE ON
              FINANCIAL RESTATEMENTS AND THIRD QUARTER 1996 RESULTS

Holbrook, NY April 15,1996... Health Management, Inc.  ("HMI")(NNM: HMISE) today
announced that it  will release financial results  for the fiscal third  quarter
ended  January 31,  1996  by  April 26.    In  addition,  the Company  said  the
restatement of earnings  for the first and  second quarters of 1996,  as well as
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, will also be completed by April 26.

As previously  announced, the Company  expects that  it will report,  before any
onetime  write-offs, a year to  date profit for the first  nine months of fiscal
1996.   The  Company also  expects that  fiscal year  1995 will  continue to  be
profitable even after the restatements.

Additionally, the  Company during  the first  week of  April paid  its regularly
scheduled principal and interest payments due on its long-term debt.

The Company's cost reduction efforts are continuing and include the decision  to
consolidate  its Long  Island, NY  corporate  administrative functions  to HMI's
offices  located in  Buffalo Grove, Illinois.   The  Company expects  to save in
excess of  $500,000 annually  from these  efforts.  This  is incremental  to the
previously  announced savings  of  over $1  million  from other  cost  reduction
efforts.   In addition,  the Company's  search for a  CEO is continuing  and the
Company hopes to finalize its selection by the end of the month.

The  Company  has  been served  with  shareholder  lawsuits seeking  unspecified
damages resulting from matters  disclosed in the February, 1996  press releases.
The Company has retained counsel to defend these lawsuits and intends to respond
appropriately.

Health Management, Inc. is  a national provider of integrated  health management
services  to patients  with  chronic  medical  conditions  and  to  health  care
professionals, drug manufacturers and third-party payers involved in their care.
