Open Season insights that could save you money

Each year, federal workers and annuitants get the opportunity to make changes to their health care plans during Open Season. The 2015 Open Season, which ends Dec. 14, has been the busiest on record. The most likely reason is this the first time feds have been able to switch to the self-plus-one option.

Since Open Season started on Nov. 9, Federal News Radio has written a number of stories, conducted on-air interviews and hosted online chats addressing feds’ open season questions. We’ve gathered all of that coverage on this page as a resource for our readers.

Federal employees or annuitants who still have Open Season questions can contact the OPM Retirement Information Office at 888-767-6738 or visit the OPM website for more information.
