ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

        The accounting firm of Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen")
represented Continucare Corporation (the "Company") as its independent
accountants during fiscal years 1995 and 1996 and was dismissed by the
Company's Board of Directors on November 15, 1996. During the Company's two
most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period, there were no
disagreements between the Company and Arthur Andersen on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Arthur Andersen, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter
of the disagreement in connection with its reports. Arthur Andersen's reports
on the financial statements of the Company for the two most recent fiscal years
did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
The Company's Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the
Company's independent accountants for fiscal year 1997.
