The
Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program is the largest employer sponsored health
benefits program of its kind. Established by an Act of Congress in 1959, the FEHB Program
began covering employees July 1, 1960. It now provides benefits to some 9 million Federal
enrollees and dependents through contracts with about 300 carriers. FEHB Program carriers
provide health benefits coverage to most active, full-time civilian employees and retirees
of the United States Government and the United States Postal Service and their families.
This section attempts to share the current thinking regarding questions which have been
raised about the Program.
