Summary: Ahead of a new year of health care, federal employees and annuitants have less than a week left to take advantage of Open Season — and possibly make changes to their enrollments. Enrollees have until 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 11 to make their final selections. If they don’t act, their current plan in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program will automatically roll over into 2024. Not every enrollee should necessarily make a change to their health, vision and dental plan options. At the very least, it’s wise to learn how your plan will change in 2024, said Kevin Moss, editor of the Consumers’ Checkbook’s Guide to Health Plans for Federal Employees. “You can’t assume that the plan you had this year will be the exact same plan next year,” Moss told Federal News Network. “You might find new pre-authorization requirements, cost share changes, new benefits or benefits that are no longer available. Also, the in-network status of providers can change any year, as can the coverage status of prescription drugs.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
