Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


      On August 7, 1997, ENVOY Corporation ("ENVOY") completed the acquisition
of all of the outstanding capital stock of Healthcare Data Interchange
Corporation ("HDIC") pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated
June 14, 1997 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between ENVOY and Advent
Investments, Inc. ("Advent"), a wholly controlled subsidiary of Aetna U.S.
Healthcare Inc. ("AUSHC"). HDIC was the electronic data interchange ("EDI")
health care provider subsidiary of AUSHC and currently manages all healthcare
EDI processing between AUSHC and its participating network physicians, dentists
and hospitals. The purchase price for the shares of HDIC, which was
approximately $36.4 million, was funded through the Company's available cash. In
connection with the acquisition, AUSHC guaranteed the obligations of Advent. In
addition, ENVOY and AUSHC simultaneously entered into a long-term services
agreement under which AUSHC agreed to use ENVOY as its single source
clearinghouse and EDI network for all AUSHC health care EDI transactions. A copy
of the joint press release, dated August 7, 1997, announcing the completion of
the transaction is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

      The terms and conditions of the acquisition are more fully described in
the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this
report and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

                         Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Directors and Shareholder
of Healthcare Data Interchange Corporation

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Healthcare Data
Interchange Corporation and Aetna Data Interchange (the electronic interchange
business of Aetna Inc.) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, as described in Note
1, and the related combined statements of operations, shareholder's deficit, and
cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of Healthcare Data
Interchange Corporation and Aetna Data Interchange at December 31, 1996 and 1995
and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                     Years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These combined financial statements include the accounts of Healthcare Data
Interchange Corporation ("HDIC") and Aetna Data Interchange ("ADI") as
defined below. U.S. Healthcare, Inc. and Aetna Life and Casualty Company,
Inc. merged as of July 19, 1996, forming Aetna Inc., a new parent company.
HDIC was incorporated in 1992 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S.
Healthcare, Inc. During 1995 Aetna Life and Casualty Company, Inc. began an
electronic data interchange division, Aetna Data Interchange (ADI). The
principal activity of HDIC and ADI is to provide electronic data interchange
services to their parent companies.

The accompanying financial statements include the direct expenses of HDIC and
ADI required to provide electronic data interchange services to U.S. Healthcare,
Inc. and Aetna Life and Casualty Company, Inc., respectively. The operations of
the combined business have been accounted for as a cost center; accordingly, the
accompanying financials do not include any revenue for the electronic services
provided.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Short-term investments include investments in United States Treasury Securities
and certificates of deposit. Carrying value of the investments approximated fair
value.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated lives
of the respective assets on the straight-line basis principally over five years.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. INTERCOMPANY PAYABLE

Intercompany payable amounts are owed to parent entities for amounts paid on
behalf of the subsidiaries and expenses allocated to the subsidiaries for
services rendered, principally salaries and overhead. Intercompany interest is
computed based upon U.S. Healthcare, Inc.'s average overnight repo return.

4. INCOME TAXES

HDIC and ADI are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of their
respective parents. Individual current federal income tax provisions are
generally computed as if the subsidiaries were filing separate federal tax
returns; current income tax benefits, including those resulting from carrybacks,
are recognized to the extent realized in the consolidated return. Amounts so
computed are included in intercompany payable.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

As of January 1, 1997, ADI was combined with U.S. Healthcare's HDIC subsidiary.
On June 14, 1997, U.S. Healthcare entered into an agreement to sell HDIC to
ENVOY Corporation for approximately $36.4 million. The agreement includes an
exclusive contract for ENVOY Corporation to provide electronic data interchange
services to Aetna Inc.'s health maintenance organizations for up to 10 years.
