Sec. 890.103  Correction of errors.

    (a) The employing office may make prospective corrections of 
administrative errors as to enrollment at any time. The employing office 
may make retroactive corrections of administrative errors that occur 
after December 31, 1994.
    (b) OPM may order correction of an administrative error upon a 
showing satisfactory to OPM that it would be against equity and good 
conscience not to do so.
    (c) The employing office may make retroactive correction of enrollee 
enrollment code errors if the enrollee reports the error by the end of 
the pay period following the one in which he or she received the first 
written documentation (i.e. pay statement or enrollment change 
confirmation) indicating the error.
    (d) OPM may order the termination of an enrollment in any 
comprehensive medical plan described in section 8903(4) of title 5, 
United States Code, and permit the individual to enroll in another 
health benefits plan for purposes of this part, upon a showing 
satisfactory to OPM that the furnishing of adequate medical care is 
jeopardized by a seriously impaired relationship between a patient and 
the comprehensive medical plan's affiliated health care providers.
    (e) Retroactive corrections are subject to withholdings and 
contributions under the provisions of Sec. 890.502.
