The Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) provides benefits to some 9 million Federal enrollees and dependents through contracts with about 300 carriers. Employees can choose Fee-for-Service plans (FFS), Point of Service (POS) plans or Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs). The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) is seeking information from all sources that currently provides a publication containing a comparative analysis and ratings of health benefits plans within the FEHBP. The publication must compare cost and value of different plans, as well as the quality of its service. The guide will also give advice to include, but not limited to, the best plan for a individual or family with particular needs such as dental, mental health and rehabilitative services. Firms are advised that this is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), nor does the Government intend to pay for any information solicited. Posted 02/28/00 (W-SN429047). (0059)
