One of Natt's first responsibilities will be to oversee the integration of
Oxford's new acquisition, Connecticut based MedSpan, Inc. The MedSpan

conditions including regulatory approvals. Natt also will focus on Oxford's
plans to enhance its provider network and further expand its business in

including MedSpan, Natt led Physicians Health Services (PHS) for 14 years,

"Bob is widely respected in the Connecticut healthcare community. He has
the right combination of industry knowledge and experience we need to
successfully grow our business here," said Berg. "In light of the MedSpan

appoint a senior executive to focus on this geographic region."
