CONCENTRA OPERATING CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS


     ADDISON, Texas, July 31, 2001 - Concentra Operating Corporation
("Concentra") today announced financial results for the second quarter and six-
month period ended June 30, 2001. The Company reported $37,527,000 in EBITDA for
the quarter, which represented a 12% increase over the prior year.

     Revenue for the second quarter increased 11% to $211,924,000 compared with
$190,348,000 for the same period last year. Operating income increased 16% to
$26,938,000 versus $23,216,000 for the second quarter of 2000. Net income for
the quarter totaled $7,731,000 compared with $1,144,000 in the year-earlier
period.

     Revenue for the first half of 2001 increased 10% to $410,007,000 compared
with $371,444,000 for the same period during the prior year. Operating income
increased 15% to $45,705,000 versus $39,585,000 for the first half of 2000. Net
income for the first six months of 2001 was $3,409,000 compared with $2,212,000
in the year-earlier period.

     Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), as
computed in a manner consistent with the definition set forth in the Company's
$190 million Series A Senior Subordinated Notes, increased 12% to $37,527,000 in
the second quarter of 2001 versus $33,478,000 in the same quarter last year. For
the first half of 2001, EBITDA increased to $66,551,000 from $59,664,000 during
the prior year, which also represented an increase of 12%.

     Commenting on the announcement, Daniel J. Thomas, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Concentra, said, "Our financial results for the second
quarter reflect solid expansion in all aspects of our business. I'm particularly
pleased that despite the effect of the nationwide slowdown in new employment on
our visit trends, our Health Services division nevertheless produced solid
overall growth. Total revenue increased by 9% and our gross profit grew by 12%
in this line of business as compared to the prior year. These results reflect
the benefits of increases in the average rate per visit, an expansion in the
number of health centers and good management of our expenses. Our Network
Services segment also produced exceptional results during the quarter.
Significant increases in our traditional out-of-network bill review services
contributed greatly to these strong results. I also continue to be encouraged by
the revenue and earnings growth we've been achieving in our Care Management
Services segment during this year. For the quarter and the year to date, we've
been able to demonstrate a profitable expansion of this line of business and
have benefited financially from its complementary nature to our other two
service lines."
