SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
 

Issuer Delisting; Application To Withdraw From Listing and 
Registration; (Sierra Health Services, Inc., Common Stock, $0.005 Par 
Value) File No. 1-8865

May 3, 1994.
    Sierra Health Services, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange, 
Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing this 
security from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, in addition to being listed on the Amex, 
its common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
(``NYSE''). The Company's common stock commenced trading on the NYSE at 
the opening of business on April 26, 1994 and concurrently therewith 
such stock was suspended from trading on the Amex.
    In making the decision to withdraw its common stock from listing on 
the Amex, the Company considered the direct and indirect costs and 
expenses attendant on maintaining the dual listing of its common stock 
on the NYSE and on the Amex. The Company does not see any particular 
advantage in the dual trading of its common stock and believes that 
dual listing would fragment the market for its common stock.
    Any interested person may, on or before May 24, 1994, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the exchanges 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
