Federal health benefit premiums to rise third year
Federal employees enrolled in the FEHB program face premium increases of about 35 to 40 percent for 1976, with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna having requested 38 to 54 percent. Two rate sets were issued due to Medicare coordination uncertainty, and a final set will be published after Congress acts. If Congress takes no action, FEHB enrollees may pay about 250 million more in 1976, potentially adding 13 to 15 percent to the rise.
