About the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program

The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program is the largest employer sponsored health benefits program of its kind. Established by an Act of Congress in 1959, the FEHB Program began covering employees July 1, 1960. It now provides benefits to some 9 million Federal enrollees and dependents through contracts with about 245 carriers. FEHB Program carriers provide health benefits coverage to most employees and retirees of the United States Government and the United States Postal Service and their families.
