What is FEHB? The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program came into effect in 1960. It is the largest employer-sponsored group health insurance program in the world, covering over 9 million Federal civilian employees, retirees, former employees, family members, and former spouses.
In the FEHB program the federal government sets minimal standards that, if met by an insurance company, allows it to participate in the program. The result is numerous competing insurance plans that are available to federal employees.
