New Health Insurance Premium Rates Posted

We’ve posted 2003 premiums for the Federal Employees Health Benefits program in our Hot Free Info section of our website: https://www.fedweek.com/HotFreeNews/default.asp. During the open season, which began November 11 and ends December 9, enrollees may change plans, switch between self-only and self-and-family coverage, or change levels of coverage in those plans offering more than one option. In addition, the open season offers the opportunity for eligible employees not currently enrolled to join the program. Although the average premium increase is 11.1 percent, some plans have held the line on premiums or even decreased premiums slightly. Most enrollees will remain in their current plans, if history is any measure.
