Item 1.      Security and Issuer

         This Schedule 13D reflects changes in the ownership of the
         Common Stock, no par value, of PARTNERS Health Plan of
         Pennsylvania, Inc., whose name has been changed to Coventry Health
         Plan of Pennsylvania, Inc. (the "Company"). The principal executive
         offices of the company are located at 5700 Corporate Drive,
         Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15237.

Item 2.      Identity and Background 

         This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Coventry Corporation, a        
         Delaware corporation ("Coventry") and its wholly owned subsidiary, CHC
         Financial, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("CHC"). Coventry and CHC
         each have their principal office and principal business addresses at
         53 Century Boulevard, Suite 250, Nashville, Tennessee 37214.
         Coventry's principal business is owning healthcare delivery systems
         such as health maintenance organizations ("HMOs"). CHC is a holding
         company for various operating subsidiaries, including the Company.

         (d) and (e) The reporting persons have not, during the last five
         years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
         traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or a party to a civil
         proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
         jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to
         a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
         prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
         securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.      Source and Amount of Funds

         Effective March 20, 1996, Coventry and its indirect wholly-owned
         subsidiary, Coventry Acquisition Corporation, a Tennessee
         corporation ("CAC"), acquired 100% of the common stock of the Company
         (the "Common Stock") and all of the outstanding Preferred Stock (the
         "Preferred Stock") of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Aetna
         Health Plans of Western Pennsylvania, Inc. ("AHPWP"), 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, the
         Company, 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 4957 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
         Company (the "Merger"). Each share of Common Stock (other than shares
         of Common Stock held by CAC) at the time of the Merger was converted
         into 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 Company 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.

Item 4.      Purpose of Transaction.

         The purpose of the acquisition is to operate the Company's
         business, ownership of AHPWP, a Pennsylvania HMO. The acquisition
         caused the Company's Common Stock to become eligible for termination
         of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act.

Item 5.      Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

         The shares beneficially owned by the reporting persons are as follows:
