It\u2019s also partly the reason there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/pay-benefits\/2023\/09\/27\/feds-to-see-fewer-health-insurance-choices-increased-premiums-in-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\">are fewer choices available to enrollees this year.<\/a> For 2024, there 67 participating carriers offering a total of 157 plan choices, down from 271 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other plans options that will be unavailable beginning in 2024 include certain United Healthcare plan options in Florida and Georgia; the Indiana University Health Plan; Aetna Open Access in the Kansas, City, area; and AultCare in Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two plans are also reducing coverage for certain geographic areas. United Healthcare is dropping the entire state of Kentucky and Iowa from its high-deductible health plan coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue Cross Blue Shield of California and Kaiser Permanente Colorado are dropping certain counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>See exactly how your plan is changing and what locations are affected <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opm.gov\/retirement-center\/publications-forms\/benefits-administration-letters\/2023\/23-401a.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><i>in this chart. <\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expansions and new options for 2024<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, there are some newly available choices that may apply to you this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Kaiser Permanente in Colorado is eliminating certain counties from coverage, it\u2019s also adding some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New counties are also coming under Florida\u2019s Capital Health Plan, Michigan\u2019s Health Alliance and South Dakota\u2019s Health Partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/federaltimes\/management\/pay-benefits\/military-benefits\/health-care\/2023\/10\/17\/heres-the-dates-and-deadlines-to-remember-for-fehb-open-enrollment\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1125388526.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Here\u2019s the dates and deadlines to remember for FEHB open enrollment<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Wondering when your health insurance will take effect in 2024? Here&#039;s how open season works for Federal Employee Health Benefits policy holders.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compass Rose added a nationwide standard option and expanded enrollment criteria to include all employees and retirees of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Note that this plan is exclusive to workers employed by the intelligence community, Department of State, Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sentara Health Plans, previously Optima Health, is a newcomer to the FEHB program and will offer a high plan option to beneficiaries in 11 northern Virginia counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter where you live, OPM says you\u2019ll have at least 17 nationwide fee-for-service plan options open to you, according to OPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if I let my carrier lapse?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you realized your carrier is leaving you out of coverage next year. Don\u2019t panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you decide to do nothing, you\u2019ll still have health care because you will automatically be placed into the lowest cost plan as determined by OPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is GEHA\u2019s indemnity benefit plan, elevate option. Now, that might not be what you want, so you can also make a voluntary selection during open enrollment, which begins Nov. 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opm.gov\/retirement-center\/publications-forms\/benefits-administration-letters\/2023\/23-401b.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">exception<\/a> for those who are currently pregnant or are seeing a specialist for a chronic condition. They can continue whatever treatments they\u2019re on through postpartum or for up to 90 days after a health plan has stated they\u2019re leaving the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do these changes take effect?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New health care coverage kicks in on the first day of the pay period beginning on or after Jan. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means for most employees, they\u2019ll have activated coverage on Jan. 14. Your previous coverage will remain in effect until your new plan takes over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open enrollment ends Dec. 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And if you\u2019re a Department of Veterans Affairs employee, you now have more
