Item 1.         Changes in Control of Registrant
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------   

        Effective March 20, 1996, Coventry Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Coventry") and its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Coventry Acquisition
Corporation, a Tennessee corporation ("CAC"), acquired 100% of the common stock
of the Registrant (the "Common Stock") and all of the outstanding Preferred
Stock (the "Preferred Stock") of the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Aetna Health Plans of Western Pennsylvania, Inc., pursuant to the terms of the
Stock Purchase and Merger Agreement dated December 18, 1995 and amended by that
certain Amendment No. 1 dated March 20, 1996 (as amended, the "Agreement"),
both by and among Coventry, CAC, Registrant, and AHP Holdings, Inc., a
Connecticut corporation that owned approximately 81% of the Common Stock
("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aetna Life Insurance
Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aetna Life and Casualty Company.

        The transaction contemplated by the Agreement occurred in two steps. 
In the first step, Coventry and CAC acquired all of the Common Stock owned by
Holdings, or 4,957 shares, for $5,274.90 per share in cash and all of the
Preferred Stock for $2,955,000 in cash (the "Stock Purchase Closing").
Immediately after the Stock Purchase Closing, CAC adopted a Plan of Merger and
executed and filed Articles of Merger with the offices of the Secretary of
State of the State of Tennessee and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and CAC
merged with and into the Registrant (the "Merger"). Each of the holders of
Common Stock (other than CAC or Coventry) at the time of the Merger received a
right to $5,274.90 per share in cash. A change in control of the Company
occurred upon the completion of the first step of the transaction contemplated
by the Agreement. The Merger did not require a vote of the holders of the
Common Stock. Upon the filing of the Articles of Merger and the Plan of Merger,
the Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name of the Registrant
to Coventry Health Plan of Pennsylvania, Inc.

        The total consideration for the Common Stock was $32,045,017.50. The
total consideration for the acquisition was $35,000,017.50. The cash for the
stock purchase and merger consideration was provided by Coventry. Coventry
borrowed the funds under its credit facility pursuant to a certain Second
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 20, 1992 among Coventry,
the Banks listed therein and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as
Agent.

        There are no arrangements known to the Registrant which may at a
subsequent date result in a change in control of the Registrant.
