Oxford Health Insurance

Oxford Health Plans, a UnitedHealthcare Company, (NYSE: UNH) provides health coverage to employees and individuals in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Oxford’s commercial insured products and services include traditional health maintenance organizations, preferred and exclusive provider organizations, point-of-service plans and consumer directed health plans. Oxford Health Insurance also offers Medicare plans and third party administration of employer-funded benefits plans.

In July of 2004, Oxford Health Insurance merged with UnitedHealthcare. UnitedHealthcare is an operating division of UnitedHealth Group, the largest single health carrier in the United States.  This event brought together two highly complementary companies and has enabled Oxford Health Insurance to better serve its members due to increased flexibility, new low cost medical and dental insurance products, and enhancements in service.

Today, employers can expect numerous opportunities to emerge, such as increased national access and new ancillary product opportunities.
