Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 23, 2008, representatives of Amedisys, Inc. (the "Company") began making presentations at investor conferences using slides containing the information attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. The Company expects to use these slides, in whole or in part, and possibly with modifications, in connection with presentations to investors, analysts and others during 2008.

By filing this report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

The investor presentation slides include financial information not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP Financial Measures").

A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures included in the slides to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), as required by Regulation G, appears as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K

The Company is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of reported Non-GAAP Financial Measures used in the investor presentation slides, among other places, to its comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide investors the ability to evaluate financial performance in a way that is comparable to measures reported by other home nursing companies.

The information contained in the slides is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and other public announcements that it may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this report, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the information presented herein shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, except as previously set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
