# OPM Seeks Input on FEHB and PSHB Plans

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather public and stakeholder feedback on optimizing the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) and Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) plan offerings. This initiative aims to evaluate whether adjusting the number and types of health plan options can improve value, reduce premium growth, and enhance the consumer experience for approximately 8.3 million enrollees. The input collected will inform potential regulatory changes aligned with OPM's FY 2026-2027 Annual Performance Plan, specifically Strategic Objective 2.3, which focuses on establishing evidence-based criteria for plan offerings.

- **Why this matters:** Procurement professionals and health plan carriers should consider how potential changes to FEHB and PSHB plan structures could impact contract requirements, pricing strategies, and service delivery models.
- The RFI signals possible forthcoming regulatory adjustments that may affect plan design, vendor participation, and operational processes within federal health benefits programs.
- Organizations involved in federal health benefits administration can leverage this opportunity to provide data-driven feedback influencing future procurement and plan management.
- Stakeholders should note the contact point for inquiries and consider aligning their proposals or service offerings with OPM's strategic objectives to remain competitive in upcoming solicitations.
