Federal Employee Health Benefits Program

The Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) is a program that provides health insurance to federal employees, retirees, and their families in the United States. Established in 1960, it offers a variety of plans from different insurers, allowing participants to choose coverage that suits their needs. The program helps cover medical expenses, including doctor visits, hospital stays, and preventive care. Federal employees can enroll during specific enrollment periods and are typically responsible for paying a portion of the premiums, which are subsidized by the government. This program aims to ensure that federal workers have access to affordable healthcare.
