OPM Renegotiates Out-of-Network Health Benefits for Federal Employees
Government Executive Link to more items from this source
Dec. 10, 2008
Excerpt: The Office of Personnel Management announced on Friday that it is working with insurance carriers in the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program to reevaluate certain out-of-network benefits for nonemergency surgeries, a move that will extend enrollment until the end of January for federal employees who wish to change their plans. OPM on Friday asked the 269 insurance carriers in FEHBP to propose changes to their out-of-network surgery benefits by Dec. 8, the official close of federal benefits open season. The move was fueled by concerns over a change in coverage in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Standard Option -- the most popular federal employee plan -- that would have substantially increased the fees in 2009 paid by federal employees who have surgeries performed by out-of-network doctors.
