                                 DEREGISTRATION
 
     On June 3, 1994, Coram Healthcare Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Coram" or the "Registrant") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No.
33-53957), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement
on Form S-4 filed with the Commission on June 6, 1994, that certain
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with
the Commission on June 7, 1994 and that certain Post-Effective Amendment No. 2
to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Commission on June 17, 1994
(the "Form S-4 Registration Statement").
 
     On June 6, 1994, the Form S-4 Registration Statement was declared effective
by the Commission. The Form S-4 Registration Statement related to the issuance
by the Registrant of 42,311,537 shares of the Registrant's common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Coram Common Stock"), in connection with the
mergers (collectively, the "Merger") of T2 Acquisition Company, a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, with and into T2
Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("T2"), C H S Acquisition Company, a
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Coram, with and into
Curaflex Health Services,Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Curaflex"), H I I
Acquisition Company, a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Coram,
with and into HealthInfusion, Inc., a Florida corporation ("HealthInfusion"),
and M I Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
of Coram, with and into Medisys, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Medisys"),
pursuant to which (i) each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01
per share, of T2 (the "T2 Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive
0.63 of a share of Coram Common Stock, (ii) each outstanding share of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Curaflex (the "Curaflex Common Stock") was
converted into the right to receive 0.333 of a share of Coram Common Stock,
(iii) each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
HealthInfusion (the "HealthInfusion Common Stock") was converted into the right
to receive 0.447 of a share of Coram Common Stock, (iv) each outstanding share
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Medisys (the "Medisys Common
Stock") was converted into the right to receive 0.243 of a share of Coram Common
Stock, and (v) each outstanding option, warrant, or other right to purchase T2
Common Stock, Curaflex Common Stock, HealthInfusion Common Stock and Medisys
Common Stock was converted into the right to acquire shares of Coram Common
Stock on the same terms and conditions, except that the number and exercise
price was adjusted based on the applicable conversion ratio for the underlying
T2, Curaflex, HealthInfusion or Medisys Common Stock.
 
     On July 8, 1994 (the "Effective Date"), upon approval of the Merger by the
respective stockholders of T2, Curaflex, HealthInfusion and Medisys at
respective stockholders' meetings held on such date, the Merger was consummated.
 
     As soon as practicable hereafter, pursuant to and in compliance with
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant will file with the Commission
a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Form S-8 Registration Statement"),
pursuant to which, among other things, it is (i) in effect, assuming all options
outstanding as of July 8, 1994, under the T2 Medical, Inc. 1988 Stock Option
Plan, Curaflex Health Services, Inc. 1990 Stock Option Plan, Curaflex Health
Services, Inc. 1989 Stock Option Plan, Curaflex Health Services, Inc. Directors'
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, Clinical Home Care Ltd. 1990 Incentive Stock
Option Plan, Clinical Home Care Ltd. 1990 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan,
HealthInfusion, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, Medisys, Inc. 1989
Stock Option Plan and certain other non-plan options, (ii) registering shares of
Coram Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options to purchase
shares of Coram Common Stock into which options to purchase shares of T2 Common
Stock, Curaflex Common Stock, HealthInfusion Common Stock and Medisys Common
Stock under such assumed Plans and other non-plan issuances were converted
pursuant to the Merger, and (iii) undertaking to remove from registration by
means of a post-effective amendment any of such options and underlying
securities registered with the Commission which remain unsold at the termination
of the T2 Medical, Inc. 1988 Stock Option Plan, Curaflex Health Services, Inc.
1990 Stock Option Plan, Curaflex Health Services, Inc. 1989 Stock Option Plan,
Curaflex Health Services, Inc. Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan,
Clinical Home Care Ltd. 1990 Incentive Stock Option Plan,

Clinical Home Care Ltd. 1990 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, HealthInfusion,
Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, Medisys, Inc. 1989 Stock Option
Plan and such non-plan options.
 
     As a consequence of the filing of the Form S-8 Registration Statement, a
portion of the 42,311,537 shares of Coram Common Stock already registered
pursuant to the Form S-4 Registration Statement would also be registered
pursuant to the Form S-8 Registration Statement. Therefore, in order to avoid
such duplicate registration, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective
Amendment No. 3 to Form S-4 Registration Statement to deregister such portion of
Coram Common Stock already registered pursuant to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement.
 
     The Registrant hereby deregisters 3,000,434 shares of Coram Common Stock
originally registered pursuant to the Form S-4 Registration Statement.
