What’s changing this Open Season?
Significant changes are coming to the FEHB and FEDVIP programs.
Health Plan Changes
Several health care plans are leaving the FEHB Program at the end of 2025. If you’re in any of these plans, you must enroll in a new plan during Open Season. If you don’t act, you’ll automatically be enrolled in GEHA Benefit Plan – High Option. OPM has determined this plan as the designated plan option for 2026.
