                  Re:    Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We  have  served  as  your  counsel  in  connection  with  the
preparation  of your  Registration  Statement  on Form  S-8  (the  "Registration
Statement") to be filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  representing  the offering and issuance to
certain  persons  under  the  IntegraMed   America,   Inc.  1992  Incentive  and
Non-Incentive  Stock  Option Plan,  as amended and  restated  (the "Plan") of an
aggregate of 175,000  shares of your Common  Stock,  $.01 par value (the "Common
Stock").

                  We have examined such corporate records, documents and matters
of law as we have considered appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

                  Based upon such examination, it is our opinion that the Common
Stock,  when issued in the manner described in the manner described in the Plan,
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

                  We  consent  to  the  reference   made  to  our  firm  in  the
Registration  Statement  and to the filing of this  opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.



                                      Very truly yours,


                                      /s/ Bachner, Tally, Polevoy & Misher LLP

                        1992 INCENTIVE AND NON-INCENTIVE

                                STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                       OF

                            INTEGRAMED AMERICA, INC.

                   (As Amended and Restated on April 16, 1998)
(Gives Effect to the  One-For-Four  Reverse Stock Split  Effective  November 17,
1998)

1.       Purpose of Plan.

         The purpose of this 1992 Incentive and Non-Incentive  Stock Option Plan
("Plan") is to further the growth and  development of IntegraMed  America,  Inc.
(the "Company") its direct and indirect subsidiaries and the entities with which
the  Company  collaborates  to  deliver  services  (hereinafter   "Collaborating
Entities") by encouraging selected employees,  directors,  consultants,  agents,
independent  contractors  and other persons who  contribute  and are expected to
contribute  materially to the Company's success to obtain a proprietary interest
in the Company  through the ownership of stock,  thereby  providing such persons
with an added  incentive  to  promote  the best  interests  of the  Company  and
affording  the  Company  a  means  of  attracting  to  its  service  persons  of
outstanding ability.

2.       Stock Subject to the Plan.

         An aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,  $.01 par
value ("Common Stock"),  subject,  however,  to adjustment or change pursuant to
paragraph 12 hereof, shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options
which may be granted from time to time in accordance with the Plan  ("Options").
Such  shares may be, in whole or in part,  as the  Incentive  and  Non-Incentive
Stock Option Plan  Committee  ("Committee")  shall from time to time  determine,
authorized  but unissued  shares or issued shares which have been  reacquired by
the Company.  If, for any reason,  an Option  shall  lapse,  expire or terminate
without having been exercised in full, the  unpurchased  shares covered  thereby
shall again be available for purposes of the Plan.

3.       Administration.

         (a)      The Board of Directors  shall appoint the Committee from among
                  its members.  Such Committee  shall be composed of two or more
                  Directors who shall be  "disinterested  persons" as defined by
                  Regulation  240.16b-3  under the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
                  1934, as amended.  Such Committee  shall have and may exercise
                  any and all of the powers  relating to the  administration  of
                  the Plan and the grant of Options  thereunder as are set forth
                  in subparagraph 3(b) hereof. The Board of Directors shall have
                  the power at any time to fill vacancies in, to change the


                                        1

<PAGE>



                  membership of, or to discharge such  Committee.  The Committee
                  shall select one of its members as its chairman and shall hold
                  its  meetings at such time and at such places as it shall deem
                  advisable.  A majority of such  Committee  shall  constitute a
                  quorum and such  majority  shall  determine  its  action.  Any
                  action may be taken  without a meeting  by written  consent of
                  all the members of the  Committee.  The  Committee  shall keep
                  minutes of its  proceedings  and shall  report the same to the
                  Board of Directors at the meeting next succeeding.

         (b)      The Committee  shall  administer the Plan and,  subject to the
                  provisions  of the  Plan,  shall  have sole  authority  in its
                  discretion to determine  the persons to whom,  and the time or
                  times at which, Options shall be granted, the number of shares
                  to be  subject  to each such  Option  and  whether  all or any
                  portion  of such  Options  shall be  incentive  stock  options
                  ("Incentive  Options")  qualifying  under  Section  422 of the
                  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended  ("Code"),  or stock
                  options  which do not so  qualify  ("Non-Incentive  Options").
                  Both  Incentive  Options  and  Non-Incentive  Options  may  be
                  granted to the same person at the same time provided each type
                  of   Option   is   clearly   designated.    In   making   such
                  determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature
                  of the services  rendered by such  persons,  their present and
                  potential  contributions  to the  Company's  success  and such
                  other factors as the Committee in its sole discretion may deem
                  relevant.  Subject to the express  provisions of the Plan, the
                  Committee shall also have the authority to interpret the Plan,
                  to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating
                  thereto,   to  determine  the  terms  and  provisions  of  the
                  respective Option Agreements,  which shall be substantially in
                  the forms  attached  hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, and to
                  make all other  determinations  necessary or advisable for the
                  administration of the Plan, all of which  determinations shall
                  be conclusive and not subject to review.

4.       Eligibility for Receipt of Options.

         (a)      Incentive Options.

                  Incentive Options may be granted only to employees  (including
                  officers) of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries.

                  The aggregate  Fair Market Value (as defined in paragraph 5 of
                  this Plan)  determined as of the time the Incentive  Option is
                  granted  of  the  shares  of  the   Company's   Common   Stock
                  purchasable  thereunder  exercisable  for the first time by an
                  employee during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

                  A  director  of the  Company or any  subsidiary  who is not an
                  employee of the Company or of one of its  subsidiaries  is not
                  eligible to receive Incentive Options under the Plan. Further,
                  Incentive Options may not be granted to any person who,

                  at the time  the  Incentive  Option  is  granted,  owns (or is
                  considered as owning  within the meaning of Section  424(d) of
                  the Code) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined
                  voting  powers of all  classes of stock of the  Company or any
                  subsidiary  (10%  Owner),  unless  at the time  the  Incentive
                  Option is granted to a 10% Owner, the option price is at least
                  110% of the fair  market  value of the  Common  Stock  subject
                  thereto  and  such  Incentive  Option  by  its  terms  is  not
                  exercisable subsequent to five years from the date of grant.

         (b)      Non-Incentive Options.

                  (i)      Non-Incentive  Options may be granted to any employee
                           (including  employees who have been granted Incentive
                           Options), directors, consultants, agents, independent
                           contractors  and  other  persons  whom the  Committee
                           determines will contribute to the Company's success.

                  (b)      Directors  of  the  Company  who  are  not  full-time
                           employees of the Company and  receiving  compensation
                           as such  (an  "Outside  Director"),  will  receive  a
                           Non-Incentive  Option ("Director Option") exercisable
                           to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock  immediately
                           following the initial election or appointment of such
                           Outside  Director.  The exercise price for each share
                           subject to the Director  Option shall be equal to the
                           "Fair  Market  Value" of the Common Stock on the date
                           of grant (which, if the Common Stock is traded on the
                           Nasdaq  National  Market or on a national  securities
                           exchange,  shall  be the  closing  sale  price of the
                           Common  Stock on the Nasdaq  National  Market or such
                           national  securities  exchange  on the  business  day
                           immediately  preceding  the date of such  election or
                           appointment,  as the  case  may  be,  or on the  next
                           preceding date on which the Common stock is traded if
                           no  Common  Stock  was  traded  on  such  immediately
                           preceding business day; otherwise,  Fair Market Value
                           shall be  determined by the Board of Directors in the
                           manner  otherwise  described  in  Section  5 of  this
                           Plan).  Director Options shall become  exercisable in
                           an amount  equal to 25% of the total number of shares
                           subject to the Director  Option  exercisable one year
                           following   the  date  of  grant   and  the   balance
                           exercisable  at the rate of 6.25% of the total number
                           of shares subject to the Director  Option every three
                           months thereafter,  and will expire the earlier of 10
                           years  from the date of  grant or 90 days  after  the
                           termination of such Outside Director's service on the
                           Board of  Directors;  provided,  however,  that  such
                           Director Options will vest immediately upon a "Change
                           in  Control"  of the  Company.  The term  "Change  in
                           Control"  is defined to mean any one or more  changes
                           in  the  aggregate   composition   of  the  Board  of
                           Directors   as  a   result   of   which   individuals
                           constituting  the Board of Directors on July 26, 1994
                           (the  "Incumbent  Board"),   cease  to  constitute  a
                           majority of the Board of


                                        3

<PAGE>



                           Directors;  provided,  however,  that any  individual
                           elected to the Board by, or  nominated  for  election
                           by, a majority of the then  current  Incumbent  Board
                           (except if such person assumes office by reason of an
                           actual or threatened  election  contest) is deemed to
                           be a member of the current Incumbent Board.  Further,
                           no  Change  in  Control  will be deemed to occur as a
                           result  of an event or events  approved  by the Chief
                           Executive Officer of the Company.

                  (iii)    the  provisions  of  Section  4(b)(ii)  shall  not be
                           amended,  if at all,  more than once every six months
                           other than to comport with changes in the Code or the
                           rules thereunder.

5.       Option Price.

         The  purchase  price of the shares of Common  Stock  under each  Option
shall be determined by the Committee,  which  determination  shall be conclusive
and not  subject to review.  In no event shall the  purchase  price of shares of
Common  Stock  under an  Incentive  Option be less than 100% of the fair  market
value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (110% of fair market value in the
case of Incentive Options granted to a 10% Owner).

         In  determining  the  fair  market  value of the  Common  Stock as of a
specified date (the "Fair Market Value"),  the Committee shall consider,  if the
Common  Stock is listed  on the New York  Stock  Exchange  or  another  national
securities  exchange,  the closing price of the Common Stock on the business day
immediately  preceding  the date as of  which  the  Fair  Market  Value is being
determined,  or on the next  preceding date on which such Common Stock is traded
if no Common Stock was traded on such immediately preceding business day, or, if
the  Common  Stock is not so  listed  on a  national  securities  exchange,  but
publicly traded,  the representative  closing bid price in the  over-the-counter
market as reported by NASDAQ or as quoted by the National  Quotation Bureau or a
recognized  dealer in the Common Stock,  on the date  immediately  preceding the
date as of which  the Fair  Market  Value  is being  determined,  or on the next
preceding  date on which  such  Common  Stock is traded  if no Common  Stock was
traded on such  immediately  preceding  business  day.  The  Committee  may also
consider such other factors as it shall deem appropriate.

         For  purposes of the Plan,  the date of grant of an Option shall be the
date on which the Committee shall by resolution duly authorize such Option.

6.       Term of Options.

         (a)      Incentive Options.

                  The term of each  Incentive  Option  shall be ten years  (five
                  years  in the  case of a 10%  Owner)  from  the  date of grant
                  thereof,  or  such  shorter  period  as  the  Committee  shall
                  determine, subject to earlier termination as herein provided.

         (b)      Non-Incentive Options.

                  The term of each Non-Incentive  Option shall be such number of
                  years as the  Committee  shall  determine,  subject to earlier
                  termination as herein provided.

7.       Exercise of Options.

         (a)      The Committee  shall determine the dates upon which any Option
                  granted  under  the  Plan  shall  be  exercisable,   provided,
                  however,  no Incentive  Option shall be  exercisable  until at
                  least one year after the date of grant.

                  An Option may not be exercised for less than ten shares at any
                  one time (or the  remaining  shares then  purchasable  if less
                  than ten) and may not be exercised  for  fractional  shares of
                  the Company's Common Stock.

         (b)      Except as  provided  in  paragraphs  9, 10 and 11  hereof,  no
                  Option shall be  exercisable  unless the holder  thereof shall
                  have   been  an   employee,   director,   consultant,   agent,
                  independent  contractor or other person employed by or engaged
                  in  performing  services for the Company  and/or a subsidiary,
                  either   directly   or   through   a   Collaborating   Entity,
                  continuously from the date of grant to the date of exercise.

         (c)      The  exercise of an Option  shall be  contingent  upon receipt
                  from the holder  thereof of a written  representation  that at
                  the time of such  exercise it is the  optionee's  then present
                  intention to acquire the Option shares for  investment and not
                  with a view to the  distribution  or resale thereof  (unless a
                  Registration  Statement  covering the shares purchasable shall
                  have been declared  effective by the  Securities  and Exchange
                  Commission)  and upon  receipt by the  Company  of cash,  or a
                  check  to its  order,  for the  full  purchase  price  of such
                  shares;   plus  any  amount,   if  any,  as  is  required  for
                  withholding taxes; provided, however, that with the consent of
                  the  Committee  or  such  officer  of  the  Company  as may be
                  authorized  by the Committee  from time to time,  the purchase
                  price and such amount,  if any, as is required for withholding
                  taxes may be paid by the  surrender  of  Common  Stock in good
                  form for transfer  owned by the person  exercising  the Option
                  and having a Fair Market  Value on the date of exercise  equal
                  to the purchase price and such amount,  if any, as is required
                  for  withholding  taxes,  or in any  combination  of cash  and
                  Common  Stock so long as the total of the cash so paid and the
                  Fair Market Value of the Common Stock  surrendered  equals the
                  purchase  price and such  amount,  if any, as is required  for
                  


                                        5

<PAGE>


                  withholding  taxes,  and the Common Stock so  surrendered,  if
                  originally  issued to the optionee  upon exercise of an option
                  granted by the  Company,  shall have been held by the optionee
                  for more than six (6) months.  Any Common  Stock  delivered in
                  satisfaction of all or any portion of the purchase price shall
                  be  appropriately  endorsed for transfer and assignment to the
                  Company. No shares shall be issued until full payment therefor
                  has been made, and any withholding  obligations of the Company
                  have been satisfied.

         (d)      The  holder of an Option  shall  have none of the  rights of a
                  stockholder  with  respect  to  the  shares  purchasable  upon
                  exercise  of the Option  until a  certificate  for such shares
                  shall have been issued to the holder upon due  exercise of the
                  Option.

         (e)      The  proceeds  received  by the  Company  upon  exercise of an
                  Option shall be added to the Company's  working capital and be
                  available for general corporate purposes.

8.       Non-Transferability of Options.

         No option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be transferable  otherwise
than  by will or the  laws of  descent  or  distribution  and an  Option  may be
exercised during the lifetime of the holder only by such holder.

9.       Termination of Employment or Engagement.

         In the  event  the  employment  of the  holder  of an  Option  shall be
terminated by the Company or a subsidiary for any reason other than by reason of
death  or  disability,   or  the  engagement  of  a  non-employee  holder  of  a
Non-Incentive  Option shall be  terminated by the Company or a subsidiary or the
employment of an employee of a Collaborating  Entity shall be terminated for any
reason,  or an Outside Director holder of a Non-Incentive  Option shall cease to
serve as a director of the Company for any reason, such holder's Option, and his
rights to exercise such Option shall  terminate,  lapse and expire effective the
date falling three months after  termination of such  employment,  engagement or
director status. Absence on leave approved by the employer corporation shall not
be considered  an  interruption  of  employment  for any purpose under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option may be exercised subsequent to the date
of its expiration.

         Nothing in the Plan or in any Option Agreement  granted hereunder shall
confer upon any  Optionholder any right to continue in the employ of the Company
or any  subsidiary  or obligate  the Company or any  subsidiary  to continue the
engagement  of any  Optionholder  or  interfere in any way with the right of the
Company or any such  subsidiary to terminate such  Optionholder's  employment or
engagement at any time.




                                        6

10.      Disability of Holder of Option.

         If the  employment  of the holder of an Option shall be  terminated  by
reason of such holder's  disability,  such holder may,  within one year from the
date of such  termination,  exercise  such  Option to the extent such Option was
exercisable by such holder at the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Option may be exercised subsequent to the date of its expiration.

11.      Death of Holder of Option.

         If the holder of any Option  shall die while in the employ of, or while
performing  services  for,  the Company or one or more of its  subsidiaries  (or
within six months  following  termination  of  employment  due to  disability or
within three months  following  termination of employment for any other reason),
the Option theretofore granted to such person may be exercised,  but only to the
extent such Option was  exercisable by the holder at the date of death (or, with
respect to employees,  the date of  termination of employment due to disability)
by the legatee or legatees of such person under such  person's  Last Will, or by
such person's personal representative or distributees,  within one year from the
date of death but in no event subsequent to the expiration date of the Option.

12.      Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.

         If at any time after the date of grant of an Option,  the Company shall
by stock  dividend,  split-up,  combination,  reclassification  or exchange,  or
through merger or consolidation or otherwise,  change its shares of Common Stock
into a  different  number  or kind or class of  shares  or other  securities  or
property,  then the number of shares  covered  by such  Option and the price per
share  thereof  shall be  proportionately  adjusted  for any such  change by the
Committee,  whose determination thereon shall be conclusive. In the event that a
fraction of a share results from the foregoing  adjustment,  said fraction shall
be  eliminated  and the price per share of the remaining  shares  subject to the
Option adjusted accordingly.

13.      Option Agreements.

         Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in the Plan or in any  resolution
adopted or to be adopted by the Committee or the stockholders of the Company, no
rights  under any  Option  may be  asserted  unless  and until a written  Option
Agreement,  substantially  in the form of the Incentive  Stock Option  Agreement
attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  A or the  Non-Incentive  Stock  Option  Agreement
attached  hereto as Exhibit B, shall be duly  executed  and  delivered by and on
behalf of the Company and the person to whom the Option shall be granted.

14.      Termination and Amendment.

         This Plan shall  terminate  on April 30,  2002,  and no Option shall be
granted  under the Plan after such date.  The Board of Directors may at any time
prior to such date terminate the Plan or make such  modifications  or amendments
thereto as it shall deem advisable provided, however, that

                  (i)      no increase shall be made in the aggregate  number of
                           shares which may be issued under the Plan;

                  (ii)     no  termination,   modification  or  amendment  shall
                           adversely  affect the rights of a holder of an Option
                           previously granted under the Plan;

                  (iii)    no  material   modification  shall  be  made  to  the
                           requirements of eligibility for  participation in the
                           Plan; and

                  (iv)     no material  increase  shall be made in the  benefits
                           accruing to participants under the Plan.

15.  Acceleration,  Extension,  Etc.  The Board of  Directors  may,  in its sole
discretion,  (i)  accelerate  the date or dates on which  all or any  particular
option or options  granted  under the Plan may be  exercised  or (ii) extend the
dates during which all, or any particular,  options or options granted under the
Plan  may be  exercised;  provided,  however,  that no such  extension  shall be
permitted  if it would cause the Plan to fail to comply with  Section 422 of the
Code or with Rule 16b-3 (if applicable).
