Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Represented by deferred "stock units" (phantom stock) credited under the Per-Se Technologies, Inc. Deferred Stock Unit Plan (the "Plan"). The stock units are to be settled in Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis, in one installment as soon as administratively feasible following the date on which the Reporting Person ceases to be an employee of the Issuer, with any fractional shares payable in cash.
(2)	Average closing price of the Common Stock for the five business days prior to April 12, 2005, the date on which the stock units were credited to the Reporting Person's account under the Plan.
(3)	Reflects deferral under the Plan and conversion into stock units of $60,000 (50% of the Reporting Person's 2004 annual bonus compensation otherwise payable in 2005).
(4)	Reflects an enhancement bonus under the Plan equal to $0.25 for each dollar of 2004 annual bonus compensation deferred by the Reporting Person under the Plan, resulting in a 25% match of the Reporting Person's 2004 deferral amount. Enhancement bonus stock units vest at a rate of 20% each year over a period of 5 years; however, such units are subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances, as described in the Plan. If the Reporting Person's employment is terminated for "cause" or if he resigns without "good reason" (in each case as defined in the Plan) before these stock units are vested, he will forfeit any such unvested stock units.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
