"Enrollees in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program are about to see the largest annual increase in their health insurance costs in at least a decade.
Beginning in January, federal employees and annuitants enrolled in FEHB will pay 13.5% more, on average, toward their health care premiums, according to data the Office of Personnel Management released Wednesday.
The significant premium increase for FEHB plan year 2025 follows a 7.7% jump for 2024, and an 8.7% increase in 2023. OPM said the increase reflects changes in the market over the last year, and generally aligns with other programs in the commercial market." |
