ITEM 5.03   AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL
            YEAR.

      (a)   On July 27, 2005, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Per-Se
Technologies, Inc. ("Per-Se") amended Per-Se's Restated By-laws ("By-laws"). The
effective date of the amendment is July 27, 2005. The provision changed by the
amendment is Article III, Section 11, regarding compensation of Directors. The
previous provision provided that "Directors, as such, shall not receive any
stated salary for their services, but, by resolution of the Board, a specific
sum fixed by the Board plus expenses may be allowed for attendance at each
regular or special meeting of the Board; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the
Corporation or any parent or subsidiary corporation thereof in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefore." The amended provision provides
that "The Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation,
including fees and reimbursement of expenses, of Directors for services to the
Corporation in any capacity; provided, however, that no such payment shall
preclude any Director from serving the Corporation or any parent or subsidiary
corporation thereof in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor."
A copy of the By-laws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.2 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
