(c) The description of the Company's common stock contained in
the Registration Statement filed September 12, 1994 Form 8-A
(Registration No. 1-13340).
All documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to Sections 12, 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d)
of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement, but prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement that
indicates that all securities offered by this Registration Statement have been
sold or that deregisters all such securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Each
document incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a part of this Registration Statement from the date of the filing
of such document with the SEC until the information contained therein is
superseded or updated by any subsequently filed document that is incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement or by any document that constitutes
part of the prospectus relating to the 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation and its By-Laws, the Company has broad power to indemnify, and
under certain circumstances is required to indemnify, its directors and officers
against liabilities that they may incur while serving as directors or officers
of the Company, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed
that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. The Company
also maintains an insurance policy for directors and officers insuring them
against certain liabilities incurred by them in the performances of their
duties, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The following are filed herewith as part of this Registration
Statement:
Exhibit No. Description

24 Power of Attorney (see page 6)
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Mid Atlantic Medical Services, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies/Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Mid Atlantic Medical Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Corporation"), in connection with the preparation and
filing of the above-captioned Registration Statement on Form S-8 ("Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering non-qualified
options ("Non-Qualified Options") to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock,
$0.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of the Corporation pursuant to the
Corporation's 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan ("Plan").
We have examined copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
forming a part thereof, the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the
Corporation, each as amended to date, the minutes of various meetings and the
resolutions of the Board of Directors, and original, reproduced or certified
copies of such records of the Corporation and such agreements, certificates of
public officials, certificates of officers and representatives of the
Corporation and others, and such other documents, papers, statutes and
authorities as we deem necessary to form the basis of the opinions hereinafter
expressed. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures and the conformity to original documents of all documents supplied to
us as copies. As to various questions of fact material to such opinions, we have
relied upon statements and certificates of officers and representatives of the
Corporation and others.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, subject to receipt
of shareholder approval of the Plan at the Corporation's 1999 annual meeting of
shareholders, the Non-Qualified Options will be duly and validly issued by the
Corporation and each of the 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, when issued upon
the exercise of a Non-Qualified Option and the payment of the exercise price per
share specified in such Non-Qualified Option, as contemplated in the
Registration Statement, will be duly and validly issued by the Corporation,
fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to your filing a copy of this Opinion as an exhibit
to said Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP
Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP

February 25, 1998 with respect to the consolidated financial statements and
