High Option Plan

Anyone eligible for FEHB benefits may enroll in one of many of the participating health plans, change their current health plan, or cancel their enrollment in a FEHB plan during the annual Open Season. This includes active and retired postal and federal employees, annuitants, survivor annuitants, Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations. Certain Qualifying Life Events (QLE) also allow anyone eligible to make changes to their FEHB enrollment outside of Open Season.
