Federal Employee Health Benefits

HUMAN RESOURCES

The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program covers current and retired government employees and their family members. FEHB plans are administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and provide health care benefits to millions of enrollees.
