Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP)
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 Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and provides access to a wide range of medical services.
FEHBP plans include options for comprehensive medical care, dental, and vision coverage. Participants can enroll during specific periods, such as the annual open enrollment season, and can change plans or enroll in new ones under certain circumstances, like a qualifying life event.
