Defense Health Care: Offering Federal Employees Health Benefit Program to DOD Beneficiaries

Abstract

Our analysis of the nine bills shows that their different features could affect the numbers of beneficiaries who would be attracted to participate in FEHBP, total government and beneficiary costs, and MHS operations. The bills vary, for example, with respect to which military beneficiaries would be eligible, how premiums would be calculated, to what extent they would be shared between DOD and enrollees, whether MHS participation would be concurrently allowed, and whether the approach should be tested prior to nationwide implementation.
