         THIS PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION INCORPORATED HEREIN BY
REFERENCE, CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE
DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION INCORPORATED
HEREIN BY REFERENCE.


                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         On March 24, 1997, the Company issued the following press release:

         "Medic Anticipates Lower Revenues and Earnings Per Share for Q1

         RALEIGH, N.C., March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Medic Computer Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq: MCSY) today reported that preliminary indications are that revenues and
earnings for its first fiscal quarter, ended March 31, 1997, will be below
consensus estimates. The Company projects that total net revenues will range
from $47,000,000 to $49,000,000 compared to total net revenues of $43,374,000
for the first quarter of 1996, after restatement for the acquisition of
CompuSystems in May 1996 accounted for as a pooling of interests. Earnings per
share is expected to range from $0.14 to $0.18 as compared to $0.21 per share
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, after restatement for CompuSystems.
Analyst expectations for the first quarter were approximately $0.27 per share.

         John P. McConnell, President and CEO, stated that after fifteen
successive quarters of meeting or exceeding analyst expectations, the decline in
first quarter is disappointing. He attributes the drop in revenues to lower than
expected systems sales primarily in January and February and to the longer cycle
for implementation of the larger +MEDIC Vision(R) systems. He commented that
bookings in March have improved and are expected to include significant +MEDIC
Vision systems. He further stated, "The installation of the +MEDIC Vision
systems continues to go well and revenues for the Company's EDI business are on
track with expectations."

         Except for historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements which involve
risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially
from those suggested in the forward-looking statements, including but not
limited to the effect of economic conditions, product demand, competitive
products and other risks detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange
Commission filings."

   
On April 16, 1997, the Company issued the following press release:

         "Medic Computer Systems Announces First Quarter Earnings"

RALEIGH, N.C., April 16, 1997--Medic Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCSY)
announced today the results of its first quarter ended March 31, 1997. Total
net revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $47,451,000, up 9.4% compared
to $43,374,000 for the same period in the previous year. Net income for the
first quarter, excluding acquisition-related charges in the amount of 
$1,030,000, net of tax, was $4,146,000, down 19.2% compared to pro forma net
income of $5,134,000 for the same period in the previous year. Net income per
share for the first quarter of 1997, excluding acquisition-related charges of
$0.04 per share, was $0.16 compared to pro forma net income per share of $0.21
for the same period in the previous year as adjusted for a 2-for-1 stock split
in June 1996. Income from operations for the first quarter of 1997, excluding
acquisition-related charges in the amount of $1,079,000, deceased 25.6% to 
$5,907,000, compared to $7,938,000 for the same period in the previous year.
The 1996 results have been restated to include those of CompuSystems, which
was acquired in May 1996 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of
interests. Pro forma net income gives effect to pro forma income tax expense
on earnings of CompuSystems prior to the acquisition due to its subchapter S
status.

On February 28, 1997, the Company acquired Home Care Information Systems,
Inc., a privately held corporation providing clinical and business software
for the home care industry with headquarters in Bloomfield, New Jersey,
through an exchange of approximately 522,000 shares of Medic common stock.
Additionally, on February 28, 1997, the Company acquired Computer Business
Systems of Virginia, Inc., a privately held corporation with headquarters in
Rockville, Maryland, providing practice management software, hardware and
related services to physician groups located primarily in the
Baltimore/Washington, D.C. area, through an exchange of approximately 735,000
shares of Medic common stock. These transactions were accounted for as
poolings of interests but were not material to the Company's results of
operations and financial position, and, accordingly, the results of operations
of these companies are included from the date of acquisition.

Medic develops, markets and supports physician practice management systems and
related services to physician practices, hospitals, Management Service
Organizations and managed care organizations. The Company's core product, the
*MEDIC System, is designed to manage the financial, administrative, practice
management and clinical requirements of medical groups of various sizes, from
single physician practices to large healthcare providers. The Company's
*MEDIC Vision product is a physician information management system
specifically designed to meet the increasingly complex information management
needs of large medical groups, MSOs and integrated delivery networks. The
*MEDIC Vision product uses the latest 4GL, SQL and relational database
technology from Informix to address managed care environments as well as
traditional fee-for-service settings. The Company, including its most recent
acquisitions, has over 10,000 installations nationwide which serve approximately
50,000 physicians.

Medic also develops, markets and supports clinical information management
system products designed principally to automate the recording,
maintenance and management of patient medical records. In addition, the
Company provides tansaction-based electronic data interchange services,
which include patient billing and insurance claim submission, and sells
hardware, peripherals, training and installation support, forms and
supplies, and software and hardware maintenance services."
    
           ACQUISITION OF COMPUTER BUSINESS SYSTEMS OF VIRGINIA, INC.

         On February 28, 1997, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Computer Business Systems of Virginia,
Inc., a Virginia corporation ("CBSI"), CBSI Acquisition Corporation, a Virginia
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("CBSI Acquisition"),
and C.B.S.I. Limited Partnership, a Maryland Limited partnership, and certain
individuals. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CBSI Acquisition was merged with
and into CBSI (the "Merger") on or about February 28, 1997, and each outstanding
share of common stock of CBSI was converted automatically into the right to
receive shares of the Company's Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional
shares based on the merger exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement (the
"Exchange Ratio"). As a result, CBSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. The 735,025 shares of the Company's Common Stock issued in the Merger
to holders of outstanding shares of CBSI stock are referred to herein as the
"Merger Shares".


                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The shares offered hereby consist of the Merger Shares. The Selling
Shareholders may sell Merger Shares from time to time in the over-the-counter
market at prices and on terms prevailing at the time of any such sale. Any such
sales may be made in brokers' transactions through broker-dealers acting as
agents or in transactions directly with market makers. The Selling Shareholders
may also sell Merger Shares from time to time in privately negotiated
transactions in which no broker or other third party (other than the purchaser)
in involved, through the writing of options on shares (whether


<PAGE>



such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise), or a combination
of such methods of sale. A Selling Shareholder also may pledge shares as
collateral for margin accounts and such shares may be resold pursuant to the
terms of such accounts. The Selling Shareholders will pay any applicable
transfer taxes and brokerage commissions or discounts, if any, with respect to
the sale of Merger Shares.

         The Selling Shareholders, and any other persons who participate in the
sale of the Merger Shares, may be deemed to be "underwriters" as defined in the
Securities Act. Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed to
any such persons, and any profits received on resale of Merger Shares, may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

         The Company has agreed to maintain the effectiveness of this
Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the
effective date hereof, or (ii) the date when all the Merger Shares have been
sold pursuant to this Registration Statement. No sales may be made pursuant to 
this Prospectus after such date unless the Company amends or supplements this 
Prospectus to indicate that it has agreed to extend such period of 
effectiveness.

Item 15.          Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         The Company's Articles of Incorporation eliminate, to the fullest
extent permitted by the North Carolina Business Corporation Act (the "Business
Corporation Act"), the personal liability of each director to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty as a director. This
provision in the Articles of Incorporation does not change a director's duty of
care, but it eliminates monetary liability for certain violations of that duty,
including violations based on grossly negligent business decisions that may
include decisions relating to attempts to change control of the Company. The
provision does not affect the availability of equitable remedies for a breach of
the duty of care, such as an action to enjoin or rescind a transaction involving
a breach of fiduciary duty; in certain circumstances, however, equitable
remedies may not be available as a practical matter. Under the Business
Corporation Act, the limitation of liability provision is ineffective against
liabilities for (i) acts or omissions that the director knew or believed at the
time of the breach to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the
Company, (ii) unlawful distribution described in Business Corporation Act
Section 55-8-33, (iii) any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit, or (iv) acts or omissions occurring prior to the date
the provision became effective. The provision also in no way affects a
director's liability under the federal securities laws.

         Also, to the fullest extent permitted by the Business Corporation Act,
the Company's Bylaws provide, in addition to the indemnification of directors
and officers otherwise provided by the Business Corporation Act, for
indemnification of the Company's current or former directors, officers and
employees against any all liability and litigation expense, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising out of their status or activities as incurred on
account of activities that were at the time known or believed by such director,
officer or employee to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the
Company.

         At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a
director or officer of the Registrant as to which indemnification is being
sought nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result
in claims for indemnification by any officer or director.

Item 17.          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) that, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the 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 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 the purpose 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 that 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
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.



                                      II-2

         (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 provisions discussed in Item 15 above,
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.
