CUSIP No. 592142103 SCHEDULE 13D PAGE 7 OF 10 PAGES

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 13, 2012 (together, this “Schedule 13D”), by (i) Red Mountain Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RMCP LLC”), (ii) Red Mountain Capital Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“RMCP II”), (iii) RMCP GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RMCP GP”), (iv) Red Mountain Capital Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RMCM”), and (v) Willem Mesdag, a natural person and citizen of the United States of America, with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Metropolitan”). RMCP LLC, RMCP II and RMCP GP are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “Red Mountain.” Red Mountain, RMCM and Mr. Mesdag are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.” The filing of any amendment to this Schedule 13D (including the filing of this Amendment No. 1) shall not be construed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that a material change has occurred in the facts set forth in this Schedule 13D or that such amendment is required under Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following information:

Unless otherwise stated in this Schedule 13D, the source of the funds used by RMCP II to purchase shares of Common Stock was the working capital of RMCP II.

The information set forth in Item 5(c) below is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this Item 3.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Items 5(a) and 5(b) of this Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a)-(b) RMCP II beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 2,705,882 shares of Common Stock, which represent approximately 6.1% of the outstanding Common Stock.⁽¹⁾ RMCP II has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, of all such 2,705,882 shares of Common Stock.

Because each of RMCP GP, RMCP LLC, RMCM and Mr. Mesdag may be deemed to control RMCP II, each of RMCP GP, RMCP LLC, RMCM and Mr. Mesdag may be deemed to beneficially own, and to have the power to vote or direct the vote, or dispose or direct the disposition of, all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by RMCP II.

Other than shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by RMCP II, none of the Reporting Persons, Mr. Teets or Mr. Genender may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.

Each of RMCP LLC, RMCP II and RMCP GP affirms membership in a group with each other but disclaims membership in a group with RMCM or Mr. Mesdag. Each of RMCM and Mr. Mesdag disclaims membership in a group with any person.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock that such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, each of RMCM and Mr.

⁽¹⁾  All calculations of percentage ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on 44,265,552 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2012, as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2012, which was filed by Metropolitan with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2012.

CUSIP No. 592142103 SCHEDULE 13D PAGE 8 OF 10 PAGES

Mesdag disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D. In addition, the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any partner, member, director, officer or affiliate of any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock that such partner, member, director, officer or affiliate may be deemed to beneficially own. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, each of Mr. Teets and Mr. Genender disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D.

Item 5(c) of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following information:

(c) The following table lists all transactions in Common Stock effected during the past sixty days by RMCP II. All such transactions were effected on the open market.

Shares of Common Stock Purchased	Weighted Average Price per Share ($)	Date of Purchase
50,000	9.27	9/28/2012
58,700	9.50	10/1/2012
