Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The Registrant's Bylaws, as amended, and the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, provide that directors and officers of the
Registrant will be indemnified by the Registrant to the fullest extent
authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended,
against all expenses and liabilities reasonably

incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of the Registrant. The
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, also provides that the right of
directors and officers to indemnification is not exclusive of any other right
now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, agreement or otherwise.
The Registrant and its officers and directors have entered into indemnification
agreements providing for mandatory indemnification consistent with the
provisions in the Bylaws.

         The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that Directors

Registrant for certain breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except
for (i) any appropriation of any business opportunity of the Company in
violation of his duties to the Registrant or its shareholders, (ii) acts or
omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) approval of certain illegal dividends or redemptions and (iv)
transactions approved by the directors from which they derive an improper
personal benefit. In appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies or
nonmonetary relief, such as an injunction, will remain available to a
shareholder seeking redress from any such violation. In addition, the provision

and not in any other capacity (such as an officer or employee of the
Registrant).

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 to
         include any material information with respect to the plan of
         distribution not 


                                     II-2
<PAGE>   4

         previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
         change to such information 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 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 (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.

     (c) 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.

                         Pursuant to Section 151 of the
                        Delaware General Corporation Law


         Medirisk, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware (the "Corporation"), hereby certifies that, pursuant to the authority
conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, of the Corporation, the Board of Directors on July [29], 1998, adopted
the following resolution creating a series of 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock
designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock:

         RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the
Board of Directors of this Corporation (the "Board") in accordance with the
provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, a series of
Preferred Stock of the Corporation be and hereby is created, and that the
designation and amount thereof and the voting rights or powers, preferences and
relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of
such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as
follows:


         1.    Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. There is hereby
established a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the
Corporation, and the designation and certain terms, powers, preferences and
other rights of the shares of such series, and certain qualifications,
limitations and restrictions thereon, are hereby fixed as follows:

               (i)       The distinctive serial designation of this series 
shall be "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (hereinafter called
"this Series"). Each share of this Series shall be identical in all with the
other shares of this Series except as to the dates from and after which
dividends thereon shall be cumulative.

               (ii)      The number of shares in this Series shall initially be
200,000, which number may from time to time be increased or decreased (but not
below the number then outstanding) by the Board of Directors. Shares of this
Series purchased by the Corporation shall be canceled and shall revert to
authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series.
Shares of this Series may be issued in fractional shares, which fractional
shares shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional
share, to all rights of a holder of a whole share of this Series.

               (iii)     The holders of full or fractional shares of this 
Series shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of
Directors, but only out of funds legally available therefor, dividends, (A) on
each date that dividends or other distributions (other than dividends or
distributions payable in Common Stock of the Corporation) are payable on or in
respect of Common Stock comprising part of the Reference Package (as defined
below), in an amount per whole share of this Series equal to the aggregate
amount of dividends or other distributions (other than dividends or
distributions payable in Common Stock of the Corporation) that would be payable
on such date to a holder of the Reference Package and (B) on the last day of
March, June, September and December in each year, in an amount per whole share
of this Series equal to the excess (if any) of $1.00 over the aggregate
dividends paid per whole share of this Series during the three-month period
ending on such last day. Each such dividend shall be paid to the holders of
record of shares of this Series on the date, not exceeding sixty days preceding
such dividend or distribution payment date, fixed for that purpose by the Board
of Directors in advance of payment of each particular dividend or distribution.
Dividends on each full and each fractional share of this Series shall be
cumulative from the date such full or fractional share is originally issued;
provided that any such full or fractional share

originally issued after a dividend record date and on or prior to the dividend
payment date to which such record date relates shall not be entitled to receive
the dividend payable on such dividend payment date or any amount in respect of
the period from such original issuance to such dividend payment date.

         The term "Reference Package" shall initially mean 100 shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Corporation. In the
event the Corporation shall at any time (A) declare or pay a dividend on any
Common Stock payable in Common Stock, (B) subdivide any Common Stock or (C)
combine any Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then and in each such
case the Reference Package after such event shall be the Common Stock that a
holder of the Reference Package immediately prior to such event would hold
thereafter as a result thereof.

         Holders of shares of this Series shall not be entitled to any
dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full
cumulative dividends, as herein provided on this Series.

         So long as any shares of this Series are outstanding, no dividend
(other than a dividend in Common Stock or in any other stock ranking junior to
this Series as to dividends and upon liquidation) shall be declared or paid or
set aside for payment or other distribution declared or made upon the Common
Stock or upon any other stock ranking junior to this Series as to dividends or
upon liquidation, nor shall any Common Stock nor any other stock of the
Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with this Series as to dividends
or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any
consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund
for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) by the Corporation (except
by conversion into or exchange for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to
this Series as to dividends and upon liquidation), unless, in each case, the
full cumulative dividends (including the dividend to be due upon payment of
such dividend, distribution, redemption, purchase or other acquisition) on all
outstanding shares of this Series shall have been, or shall contemporaneously
be, paid.

               (iv)      In the event of any merger, consolidation, 
reclassification or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are
exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other
property, then in any such case the shares of this Series shall at the same
time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per whole share equal to
the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property
(payable in kind), as the case may be, that a holder of the Reference Package
would be entitled to receive as a result of such transaction.

               (v)       In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or 
winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary,
the holders of full and fractional shares of this Series shall be entitled,
before any distribution or payment is made on any date to the holders of the
Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to this
Series upon liquidation, to be paid in full an amount per whole share of this
Series equal to the greater of (A) $1.00 or (B) the aggregate amount
distributed or to be distributed prior to such date in connection with such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up to a holder of the Reference Package
(such greater amount being hereinafter referred to as the "Liquidation
Preference"), together with accrued dividends to such distribution or payment
date, whether or not earned or declared. If such payment shall have been made
in full to all holders of shares of this Series, the holders of shares of this
Series as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of
the Corporation.

         In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution
to the holders of shares of this Series upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be
insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled
pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section (v), no such distribution shall
be made on account of any shares of any other class or series of Preferred
Stock ranking on a parity with the shares of this Series upon such liquidation,
dissolution or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be
paid on account of the shares of this Series, ratably in proportion to the full
distributable, amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are
respectively entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

         Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
the holders of shares of this Series then outstanding shall be entitled to be
paid out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to the
first paragraph of this Section (v) before any payment shall be made to the
holders of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior
upon liquidation to this Series.

         For the purposes of this Section (v), the consolidation or merger of,
or binding share exchange by, the Corporation with any other corporation shall
not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation.

               (vi)      The shares of this Series shall not be redeemable.

               (vii)     In addition to any other vote or consent of
stockholders required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, of the Corporation, each whole share of this Series shall, on any
matter, vote as a class with any other capital stock comprising part of the
Reference Package and voting on such matter and shall have the number of votes
thereon that a holder of the Reference Package would have.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Medirisk, Inc. has caused this Certificate of
Designation to be executed as of August 21, 1998.

         Re:  Registration of 732,480 shares of Common Stock of Medirisk, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Medirisk, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the Company's
Registration Statement of Form S-8 with respect to the offer and sale of Common
Stock of the Company under the Medirisk, Inc. 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan,
the Medirisk, Inc. 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Option Agreement
for 32,480 share of Common Stock between the Company and Mark A. Kaiser (such
Registration Statement, as amended, is hereinafter referred to as the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement
relates to the offer and sale by the Company of up to 732,480 shares of its
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock").

         In connection therewith, we have examined and relied upon the
original, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, as amended, and the Bylaws of the Company, as
amended; (ii) the minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the
Company with respect to the issuance by the Company of the Company Securities;
(iii) the Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto; and (iv) such other
documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary for the expression of the
opinions contained herein.

         In making the foregoing examinations, we have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted
to us as certified or photostatic copies thereof. As to various questions of
fact material to this opinion, where such facts have not been independently
established, and as to the content and form of certain minutes, records,
resolutions and other documents or writings of the Company, we have relied, to
the extent we have deemed reasonably appropriate, upon representations or
certificates of officers of the Company or governmental officials. We have
assumed that the Underwriting Agreement will be executed in substantially the
same form submitted to us.
<PAGE>   2

         Based upon the foregoing, and having due regard for such legal
considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion, under the law of the
State of Delaware, that the Common Stock, upon receipt by the Company of the
full consideration for the Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the
stock incentives under which such Common Stock is issuable, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the
reference to this firm under "Legal Matters" in the prospectuses forming a part
of such Registration Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,
