FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------


           OXFORD HEALTH PLANS, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS


         NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, JULY 29, 1999 - Oxford Health Plans, Inc.
(NASDAQ:OXHP) announced today a net loss of $13.4 million, or $0.16 per common
share, for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. "We are pleased with our second
quarter results, which were ahead of our expectations. Healthcare costs
increased slightly, primarily due to seasonality, and administrative expenses
increased slightly, primarily due to operational initiatives and improvements.
Medical and administrative loss ratios were therefore slightly higher in the
second quarter versus the first quarter, but the results were better than
anticipated." said Oxford Health Plans' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Norman C. Payson, M.D.

         Health care services expense for the second quarter was $886.8 million,
representing a medical loss ratio (health care services as a percentage of
premium revenue) of 85.8%, compared to a medical loss ratio of 84.9% for the
first quarter of this year. Marketing, general and administrative expenses,
including related depreciation and amortization, were $155.2 million for the
second quarter or 15.0% of operating revenues, compared to $149.7 million or
14.5% of operating revenues last quarter.

                                                                          over->

                                     OXFORD'S SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS - PAGE TWO

         "During the second quarter we worked to eliminate claims and
correspondence backlogs and completed our Y2K project, which should position
Oxford to gain further economies in our administrative costs in the second half
of the year," stated Dr. Payson.
         Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were $1.05 billion,
compared to $1.06 billion in the first quarter. As of June 30, 1999, Oxford's
total membership was approximately 1,668,700 compared to 1,691,000 as of March
31, 1999.
         The Company reported cash used by operations of $26.8 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. As of June 30, 1999, the Company had $966.9 million
in current cash and marketable securities. "The successful reduction in claims
inventory, down to the nine days of claims received on hand, resulted in
negative cash flow from operations for the second quarter. However, pro forma
parent company cash and marketable securities as of June 30th was approximately
$196 million, an approximately $10 million increase from last quarter," said Yon
Y. Jorden, Oxford's Chief Financial Officer. "Based on sequential premium
pricing increases and expected administrative and health care costs, the Company
anticipates positive earnings per share for the second half and full year 1999
and positive operating cash flow for the second half of 1999," added Jorden.

         Founded in 1984, Oxford Health Plans, Inc. provides health plans to
employers and individuals in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, through its
direct sales force, independent insurance agents and brokers. Oxford's services

            CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain statements in this press release, including statements concerning
future results of operations or financial position, future healthcare and
administrative costs, future operating cash flow, future operational performance
and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical
facts, are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended); and because such statements involve risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially include, but are not limited to:

- -    The Company's ability to develop processes and systems to support its
     operations and to improve its service levels.

- -    Changes in Federal or State regulation relating to health care and health
     benefit plans.

- -    Rising medical costs or higher utilization of medical services, including
     higher out-of-network utilization under point-of-service plans.

- -    Competition from health benefit plan providers and competitive pressure on
     pricing Oxford products, including acceptance of premium rate increases by
     the Company's commercial groups.

- -    High administrative costs in operating the Company's business and the cost
     and impact on service of changing technologies.

- -    The ability of the Company to complete and operationalize risk transfer and
     other provider arrangements and any unexpected costs incurred in the
     wind-down of the Company's agreement with Heritage New Jersey Medical
     Group, P.C., including medical costs, litigation expenses, damages,
     administrative costs and other costs.

- -    The effect, if any, of events at the Company during the last two years
     (including any adverse publicity) on future enrollment in the Company's
     health benefit plans.

- -    The ability of the Company to successfully and timely dispose of certain
     assets and businesses.

- -    Any changes in the Company's estimates of its medical costs and expected
     cost trends as a result of information gained in the process of continuing
     to reconcile delayed claims or claims paid or denied in error and to pay
     down backlogged claims.

- -    The impact of litigation (including purported class and derivative actions
     filed against the Company and certain officers and directors and
     proceedings commenced against the Company and several employees by certain
     healthcare providers), regulatory proceedings and other governmental action
     (including the ongoing examination, investigation and review of the Company
     by various Federal and State authorities).

- -    Those factors included in the discussion under the caption "Business -
     Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's
     Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998
     and under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
     Condition and Results of Operations - Cautionary Statement Regarding
     Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
     10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1999.
