FEHB Announcement Likely in Near Future

The annual announcement of premiums and plan offerings in FEHB for the upcoming plan year—that is, calendar year—is likely to come within the upcoming weeks. That announcement, which follows negotiations between OPM and the carriers over the summer, is made well in advance of the opportunity to join the program or to change coverage, which occurs during the annual open season that this year will run November 10-December 8.
