This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D filed on April 13, 1998 on behalf of Principal Life Insurance Company (formerly, Principal Mutual Life Insurance), Principal Holding Company and Principal Health Care, Inc., relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Coventry Health Care, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("CHC"), as amended on October 17, 2000 by Principal Mutual Holding Company and certain of its subsidiaries (as amended, the "Schedule 13D"). Unless otherwise indicated herein, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D. Item 2 is amended to read as follows: Item 2. Identity and Background. Effective October 26, 2001, Principal Mutual Holding Company, a former Reporting Person, converted from a mutual insurance holding company to a stock company. In connection with the reorganization, Principal Mutual Holding Company and two of its subsidiaries which were also former Reporting Persons, Principal Financial Group, Inc., an Iowa corporation, and Principal Financial Services, Inc., an Iowa corporation, merged with and into Principal Iowa Newco, Inc., an Iowa corporation, which changed its name to Principal Financial Services, Inc. ("PFS"). PFS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PFG"). PFG and PFS are holding companies. The address of the principal business and principal office of each of PFG and PFS is 711 High Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50392. This Amendment is being filed by PFG, PFS and three of their subsidiaries and former Reporting Persons, Principal Life Insurance Company ("PLIC"), Principal Holding Company ("PH") and Principal Health Care, Inc. ("PHC"). PLIC is a stock insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Iowa. The present principal business activity of PLIC is the provision of products and services for businesses, groups and individuals including individual insurance, pension plans and group/employee benefits. The address of its principal business and principal office is 711 High Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50392. PH is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PLIC. PH is a holding company for the non-life insurance subsidiaries of PLIC. The address of its principal business and principal office is 711 High Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50392. PHC is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa. It is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PH and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PLIC. PHC's principal business is the development and administration of managed care arrangements such as preferred provider

organizations and health maintenance organizations. The address of PHC's principal business and principal office is 711 High Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50392. By virtue of their ownership and control of PHC, PFG, PFS, PLIC and PH have the ultimate voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of CHC Common Stock held by PHC and may be deemed indirect beneficial owners of all the shares of CHC Common Stock owned by PHC within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"). Each of PFG, PFS, PLIC, PH and PHC is hereinafter referred to individually as a "Reporting Person" and collectively as "Reporting Persons." As discussed below, the Reporting Persons collectively may be deemed to be a group, within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Act, beneficially owning, in the aggregate, 17,185,824 shares of CHC Common Stock or approximately 25.4% of the outstanding shares of CHC Common Stock within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a) of the Act. Attached as Schedule B hereto and incorporated by reference herein is a list of all Directors and Executive Officers of each Reporting Person. Such Schedule B also sets forth the principal business address and principal occupation or employment of each person listed thereon. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Directors or Executive Officers has had any transactions in shares of CHC Common Stock during the past 60 days, and the only Director or Executive Officer who is a beneficial owner of shares of CHC Common Stock is Elizabeth E. Tallett, who is a director of CHC, owns 500 shares of CHC Common Stock (which she acquired for investment purposes using personal funds and as to which she has sole voting and dispositive power), and has options to acquire an additional 6,000 shares of CHC Common Stock from CHC. All the Directors and Executive Officers of the Reporting Persons are United States citizens, except as otherwise indicated on Schedule B. During the last five years, except as set forth below, none of the Reporting Persons, or the Directors or Executive Officers of the Reporting Persons, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). During the last five years, except as set forth below, none of the Reporting Persons, or the Directors or Executive Officers of the Reporting Persons, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, or finding any violation with respect to, federal or state securities law. Item 4 is amended by adding the following: Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. (a) On November 30, PHC entered into an agreement with CHC pursuant to which it agreed to sell the 15,103,487 shares of outstanding CHC Common Stock which it currently holds. CHC has filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the sale by PLIC of 8,050,000 shares of CHC Common Stock in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering (File No. 333-74280)(the "Secondary Offering"). The Secondary Offering covers 7,000,000 shares of CHC Common Stock plus an additional 1,050,000 shares subject to an option granted by PHC to the underwriters to cover over-allotments. CHC has agreed to purchase from PLIC (i) at $20.00 per share, the 7,053,487 shares of CHC Common Stock held by PHC and not included in the Secondary Offering (an aggregate purchase price of $141,069,740)and (ii) at the public offering price, any of the shares covered by the over-allotment option and not purchased by the underwriters in the Secondary Offering. CHC has also agreed to purchase for $35 million a warrant owned by PHC to purchase up to 3,075,182 shares of CHC Common Stock (the "Warrant"). Under the Warrant, 2,068,429 shares are currently issuable upon exercise; an additional 1,006,753 shares have vested, but the Warrant is not currently exercisable as to them. CHC intends to finance the CHC Common Stock and Warrant purchases through proceeds of a private placement of its senior notes (the "Private Placement") and cash on hand. CHC's obligation to complete the purchase of that CHC Common Stock and the Warrant is subject to the substantially concurrent closings of the Private Placement and the Secondary Offering. PHC's obligation to complete the Secondary Offering is conditioned on the substantially concurrent closing of CHC's purchase of the CHC Common Stock and the Warrant from PHC. PHC expects the Private Placement and the Secondary Offering to be completed in the first quarter of 2002. CHC has agreed to reimburse PHC for up to $200,000 for expenses incurred in connection with the Secondary Offering and CHC's purchase of CHC Common Stock and the Warrant from PHC. Item 5 is amended to read as follows: Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) - (b)As of the date hereof, PHC beneficially owns in the aggregate 17,185,824 shares of CHC Common Stock (representing approximately 25.4% of the outstanding shares), including of 15,103,487 shares of outstanding CHC common stock which it holds and 2,068,429 shares of CHC common stock as to which it may exercise the Warrant within 60 days. (An additional 1,006,753 shares of CHC common stock are vested under the Warrant, but the Warrant may not be exercised with respect to those shares within 60 days, and the shares are not included herein as shares beneficially owned by PHC.) In addition, as of the date hereof, Invista Capital Management, LLC ("Invista"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PLIC, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an additional 13,908 shares of CHC Common Stock. Invista is a Delaware limited liability company. The present principal business activity of Invista is an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The address of Invista's principal business and principal office is 699 Walnut, 1800 Hub Tower, Des Moines, Iowa 50309. Invista, using funds provided by holders of certain investment accounts for which Invista acts as investment adviser, acquires from time to time shares of CHC Common Stock for those accounts. Invista has voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by the accounts. Shares are acquired and held for the accounts for investment purposes only. PFG, PFS, PLIC and PH, by virtue of their ownership and control of PHC, and PFG, PFS and PLIC, by virtue of their ownership and control of Invista, may be deemed to share the power to vote or dispose of, or direct the voting or disposition of, 17,185,824 shares of CHC Common Stock, and therefore may be deemed beneficial owners of the shares of CHC Common Stock beneficially owned by PHC and by Invista within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a) under the Act. The Reporting Persons have acted together for the purposes of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of CHC Common Stock. Furthermore, PLIC and PHC are parties to the Shareholders' Agreement. The Shareholders' Agreement obligates PLIC and PHC to act in concert with respect to certain matters concerning CHC. As a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of the Act which pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1) may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of all shares of CHC Common Stock beneficially held by each member of the group, an aggregate of 17,185,824 shares of CHC Common Stock or 25.4% of the outstanding shares of CHC Common Stock. (c) None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person named on Exhibit B hereto, has effected any transactions in CHC Common Stock during the past 60 days except as described herein. (d) As an investment adviser, Invista invested funds of investment accounts for which Invista acts as investment adviser in CHC Common Stock. Consequently, the persons who have interests in such investment accounts are the beneficiaries of the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares of CHC Common Stock for which Invista may be deemed the beneficial owner. (e) Not applicable. Item 6 is amended by adding the following: PHC has agreed to sell the shares of CHC Common Stock held by it and the Warrant. See the response to Item 4. Item 7 is amended to read as follows: Item 7. Exhibits. Exhibit A: Joint Filing Agreement dated December 31, 2001, among the Reporting Persons.
