Title: Federal Employees Health Benefits Program: Enrollment and Changes to Enrollment | |
Abstract:
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to amend title 5 part 890 of the Code of Federal Regulations governing the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program to allow OPM to make improvements and clarifications to the FEHB Program’s enrollment rules and processes, including centralizing certain health benefits enrollment functions. Currently, enrollment is administered by an enrollee’s employing agency or retirement system. This rule would allow OPM to leverage necessary IT functionality in order to conduct certain enrollment functions and collect information necessary to administer FEHB enrollments with greater efficiency and in alignment with the best practices of employer-sponsored insurance programs. In addition, OPM is proposing a process that would allow an employing office or OPM to decrease an individual’s enrollment type from self plus one or self and family to self only when there is only an enrollee and no family member. |
