ITEM 5.       OTHER EVENTS

              On June 5, 1996, Pediatrix Medical Group of California, P.C., a
California professional corporation ("Buyer"), which is a separate legal entity
that contracts with Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the
"Registrant"), acquired the Purchased Assets (as defined) of Infant Care
Specialists Medical Group, Inc., a California professional corporation ("ICS"), 
for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million, including payments for 
signing bonuses and covenants not to compete.  The amount of consideration 
paid for the Purchased Assets was determined through arms' length negotiations

qualified in its entirety by the copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement attached

              The source of the consideration paid was a portion of the
