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, dismissed 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 304(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. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Andersen's letter, dated May 9, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements. The Company expects to announce the appointment of a new independent auditor within the next seven (7) business days. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (c) Exhibits.
