Federal Health Insurance Verification: Enhanced Oversight and Security
This act introduces new rules for verifying individuals covered by the federal health insurance program (FEHB). The goal is to ensure that only eligible individuals benefit from health plans, which can help in better fund management and fraud prevention. Citizens should be aware that they may be asked to provide additional documents to confirm family members' eligibility for coverage.
Key points
Mandatory verification of qualifying life events (e.g., marriage, birth) when adding family members to health plans.
A comprehensive audit over three years to check the eligibility of all family members covered by insurance.
Establishment of a process to remove individuals from coverage who do not meet eligibility criteria.
Increased funding for oversight and audit systems within the health insurance program to improve its efficiency.
