Summary of Bill HR 2193
Bill 119 hr 2193, also known as the "Health Insurance Program Improvement Act," aims to make changes to the health insurance program for federal employees under chapter 89 of title 5, United States Code. The bill requires the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to take specific actions to improve the program.
One key provision of the bill is to require the OPM Director to establish a process for federal employees to enroll in health insurance plans electronically. This would streamline the enrollment process and make it more convenient for employees to access and choose their health insurance coverage.
Additionally, the bill requires the OPM Director to conduct a study on the feasibility of offering a high deductible health plan with a health savings account option to federal employees. This study would assess the potential benefits and drawbacks of offering this type of plan to federal employees and provide recommendations for implementation. Overall, the Health Insurance Program Improvement Act aims to enhance the health insurance options available to federal employees and make the enrollment process more efficient. By requiring the OPM Director to take specific actions and conduct a study on new plan options, the bill seeks to improve the overall quality and accessibility of health insurance for federal employees.
