     ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

          On April 19, 1996, Ideon Group, Inc. (the "Registrant")
     entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
     Agreement") with CUC International Inc. ("CUC") and IG
     Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CUC ("Sub"),
     which provides for the merger of Sub with and into the Registrant
     (the "Merger").  

          Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of
     the Merger, each share of the Registrant's common stock, par
     value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") will be converted into the
     right to receive that number of shares of CUC's common stock, par
     value $0.01 per share ("CUC Common Stock"), equal to the quotient
     obtained by dividing $13.50 by the average closing price per
     share of CUC Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
     on the NYSE Composite Tape during the fifteen consecutive trading
     day period ending on the second calendar day immediately
     preceding the Registrant's stockholder meeting to approve the
     Merger; provided, however, that CUC will not issue less than
     0.3750 nor more than 0.6136 shares of CUC Common Stock for each
     Share.  A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2
     hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

          On April 22, 1996, the Registrant and CUC issued a joint
     press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. 
     The terms of the transaction described in the press release are

     such press release is filed as Exhibit 20 hereto and is
     incorporated herein by reference.
