Office of Personnel Management's Comprehensive Medical Plans Network Experiment

The Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) administration of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Comprehensive Medical Plans Network experiment in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program was reviewed. The Network, operated by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Associations (Associations), was intended to provide new options for health benefits coverage to Federal employees and to relieve OPM of the administrative costs associated with contracting with a number of comprehensive plans.
