CRA Managed Care, Inc. announces
second-quarter 1997 financial results

Revenues up 37%; operating income increases 45%; net income rises
41% over the second quarter last year

BOSTON, July 22, 1997 -- CRA Managed Care, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAA) today
announced that revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 1997, increased
37 percent to $61.1 million, compared with revenues of $44.8 million during
the three months ended June 30, 1996. Operating income for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, increased 45 percent to $6.3 million, compared with $4.4
million for the same period last year.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased 41 percent to
$3.3 million, or $0.37 per share, compared with $2.4 million, or $0.29 per
share, for the same period last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues increased 36 percent to
$115.6 million, compared with revenues of $85.0 million for the same period
last year. In addition, operating income increased 49 percent to $12.0
million, compared with $8.1 million, also for the same period last year. Net
income increased 46 percent to $6.4 million, or $0.71 per share, compared
with $4.4 million, or $0.56 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

"We were extremely pleased to see strong growth across the board for our
highly diversified mix of managed care services," said Donald J. Larson,
president and chief executive officer of CRA Managed Care. "We continue to
benefit from two important trends in our industry: the transformation of
workers' compensation to a managed care delivery system, and the increasing
interest of a variety of payors in outsourcing this critically important
function."

As announced in April 1997, CRA and OccuSystems Inc. have agreed to a merger
that will form the nation's first fully integrated managed care company
focused on workers' compensation cost containment. The new company created by
this merger, Concentra Managed Care Inc., will provide preventive
services, first report of injury, primary care, specialist networks,
specialized cost containment services and field case management for workers'
compensation as well as for the disability and automobile injury markets. In
the intervening period since the merger's announcement, the companies have
made significant progress in implementing certain activities, such as joint
product marketing on both a local and national basis, to achieve the
operating synergies envisioned by the merger. The companies note that in May,
the Federal Trade Commission granted an early termination to the applicable
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and
that proxy materials related to the merger are expected to be mailed to
shareholders during the week of July 28, 1997. Special meetings of
stockholders will be scheduled for late August, and the merger is expected to
close immediately thereafter subject to the approval by the stockholders of
both companies and the satisfaction of other customary conditions. more...
