Federal employees

The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program was established in 1959 by an Act of Congress. It is the largest employer-sponsored health benefits program, covering nearly 8.3 million federal employees and their dependents.

You are eligible for FEHB health coverage if you're a federal employee, unless your position is excluded by law or regulation. Your agency dictates these rules as well as your eligibility. You can learn more about FEHB eligibility here.

If you are eligible for a plan from the FEHB program, you may enroll during the annual FEHB Open Season. During this time, you can change health plans, adjust your benefits or cancel your enrollment.

Newly eligible employees may enroll within 60 days of first becoming eligible, even if that occurs outside of Open Season.

Yes. Federal employees pay for health insurance plans in the same way many employees do. Federal employees typically share the cost of their health plan premium with the Government. Depending on the plan, employees may also have to pay deductibles, copayments or coinsurance.

Federal employees can choose to enroll in Sharp Health Plan's HMO Standard Plan. Please check out our benefits at a glance to learn more.
