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.
If you are covered by FEHB and eligible for Medicare or will be soon, you will need to decide when or if to enroll in Medicare. Note that although the FEHB program is employer coverage, the Medicare enrollment rules are different from standard employer coverage.
