Item 4. Changes in Certifying Accountants
On June 25, 1998, Vista Information Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed
McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, the Company's independent auditors. In connection
with its audits of the Company's financial statements for the Company's two
most recent fiscal years, there were no disagreements with McGladrey & Pullen
on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of McGladrey & Pullen LLP, would have caused McGladrey & Pullen
LLP to make reference to the matter in their report. McGladrey & Pullen's
report on the Company's financial statements for each period for which
McGladrey & Pullen performed an audit of the Company's financial statements
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified or
qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The
decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of Directors of the
Company. The Company has requested McGladrey & Pullen to furnish it with a
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it
agrees with the above statements.
