Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On December 31, 1996, Physician Support Systems, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Revenue Production Management, Inc., an Illinois corporation ("RPM"), through a
merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into RPM (the
"Merger").  RPM provides billing, accounts receivable management and other
business services to hospitals and hospital-based physicians.

         All of the shares of capital stock of RPM issued and outstanding
immediately before the Merger were converted at the time of the Merger  into the
right to receive an aggregate of 315,048 shares of common stock, par  value
$.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company.  The Merger will be
accounted for by the Company as a "pooling of interests."

         In connection with the Merger, the Company granted the former RPM
stockholders the right to include their shares of Common Stock acquired in the
Merger in certain registrations of Common Stock and to demand, under certain
circumstances and subject to certain limitations, that their shares of Common
Stock be registered for public sale at various times.

         In addition, each of the former RPM stockholders entered into
employment agreements with RPM in connection with the Merger, pursuant to which
they agreed to be employed by RPM for a period of three or four years after the
Merger, as the case may be.

Item 7.  Financial Statements.  Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

         (a)  Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.
         (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information.

         As of the date of this Report, it is impracticable to provide the
required financial statements and pro forma financial information relating to
RPM. Such statements and information will be filed as soon as they become
available, and in any event not later than 60 days after the date this Report is
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         (c)   Exhibits.

         (2)   Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 31, 1996,

               (omitting schedules and exhibits thereto, which will be furnished
               supplementally to the Commission upon request).

               of Revenue Production Management, Inc.
