ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

                  On April 30, 2002, the Board of Directors of Amedisys, Inc.
         (the "Company"), upon recommendation by the Audit Committee, decided to
         no longer engage Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as the Company's
         independent auditors.

                  During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and through
         the date of this Form 8-K, there were no disagreements with Andersen on
         any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement
         disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
         Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to
         the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their
         reports. None of the reportable events described under Item
         301(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the Company's two most
         recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and through the date
         hereof.

                  The audit reports of Andersen on the Company's consolidated
         financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and
         2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor
         were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
         accounting principles.

                  The Company has provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing
         disclosures.


ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

         None.



                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

AMEDISYS, INC.
