             Transamerica Corporation hereby amends, as set forth below,
             its Statement on Schedule 13D filed on January 24, 1997 (the
             "Statement") relating to the Common Stock of Envoy
             Corporation.  Capitalized terms used herein that are not
             otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in
             the Statement.

             Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                       The response to Item 5 is amended and restated in
             its entirety as follows:

                       (a), (b), (c) and (d)  As of March 7, 1997,
             Transamerica directly owned 370,000 shares of Common Stock. 
             According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
             ended September 30, 1996, the number of shares of Common
             Stock outstanding as of November 14, 1996, was 15,173,739. 
             Based on such information, the 370,000 shares of Common Stock
             directly owned by Transamerica represent approximately 2.44%
             of the class.  See Annex B with respect to transactions by
             Transamerica in Common Stock since the date of the Statement,
             all of which were effected through broker-dealers.

                       Transamerica may be deemed to beneficially own
             1,549,000 shares, which, based on the foregoing information,
             represent approximately 10.2% of the class.  Such number
             includes 1,179,000 shares (including 144,000 shares owned for
             the benefit of unaffiliated investment advisory clients of
             one of Transamerica's subsidiaries) owned by direct and
             indirect subsidiaries of Transamerica that are eligible to
             file Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1.  See the Note
             below.

                       None of Transamerica's directors or executive
             officers beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

                       Note:  Management of the affairs of Transamerica's
             subsidiaries, including decisions respecting dispositions
             and/or voting of the shares of the Common Stock beneficially
             owned by such subsidiaries, resides in the respective
             officers and directors of the subsidiaries and is  not
             directed by Transamerica or other subsidiaries.  Accordingly,
             the filing of this Schedule 13D by Transamerica is not
             intended as, and should not be deemed as, an acknowledgment
             of beneficial ownership or shared voting or dispositive power
             by Transamerica of the shares of the Common Stock
             beneficially owned by its subsidiaries, and such beneficial
             ownership or attribution or shared voting or dispositive
             power is expressly disclaimed.

                       (e)  Not applicable.
