Insurance Programs

Belated Enrollment Opportunity

OPM is requesting agencies and other administrators (retirement systems, OWCP, etc) to accept belated FEHB enrollment changes through January 2009. Because an FEHB enrollment change could affect decisions regarding enrollment in the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) and the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS), eligible enrollees also may continue to make enrollment choices for these programs through January 2009, using Open Season websites, call centers or via agency human resources departments.

You can find more information about the belated enrollment opportunity in the Belated Enrollment Opportunity FAQsAdobe Acrobat Version [33 KB], Benefits Administration Letter (BAL)Adobe Acrobat Version [35 KB] Notice to EmployeesAdobe Acrobat Version [14 KB].

NEW – Blue Cross Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan revised their 2009 Standard Option benefit provision for non-emergency surgeries provided by non-participating providers.

No other carriers are changing benefits for 2009.
