The Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) is a health insurance program for federal employees, retirees, and their dependents. Established in 1959, it offers a variety of health plan options, allowing participants to choose coverage that best fits their needs. The program is managed by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and provides access to a wide range of medical services. Participants in the FEHBP can enroll during specific periods, such as the annual open enrollment season. The program includes plans from private insurance companies, and the federal government contributes to the premium costs, making healthcare more affordable for federal employees and their families.
