Summary

Request for information.

This request for information (RFI) seeks public input on how to optimize health benefits plan options offered in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, which includes the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program, to give enrollees high value choices at competitive costs while ensuring the appropriate number and distribution of options are available to enrollees. Currently, health benefits plans in the FEHB Program are limited to offering three options or two options and a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) pursuant to 5 CFR 890.201(b)(3)(i). The information gathered through this RFI will inform the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as to whether modifications to the current FEHB regulations are needed through future notice and comment rulemaking as OPM explores ways to optimize the FEHB and PSHB portfolio and provide enrollees with high value choices at competitive costs.
