The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is inviting comments on the application for carriers wishing to join the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. Carriers are required to meet specific standards outlined by the statute and regulations to participate. OPM will use the application details, such as information on solvency, healthcare delivery, and quality assurance, to evaluate if a carrier qualifies for the FEHB Program. Comments will be accepted until April 19, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Office of Personnel Management wants to know what people think about a test for health companies that want to give insurance to government workers. They have to check if these companies can do a good job, like when a teacher checks if students can do their work properly.
