G.E.H.A. encourages federal workers, retirees to review health care options
President and CEO of Government Employees Health Association David Hakanson is encouraging federal employees and retirees to review health care options and choose a plan that fits their current needs.
With Open Season approaching, President and CEO of Government Employees Health Association (G.E.H.A) David Hakanson is encouraging federal employees and retirees to review their healthcare options and choose a plan that fits their current needs.
This year’s Open Season runs from November 9 through December 14. Hakanson said G.E.H.A is squarely focused on affordability, with eight of its nine plans seeing no premium increase for the 2027 plan year. Overall, 99% of G.E.H.A members will not see a premium increase.
"Be an informed consumer," Hakanson said. "Take a look at your options, understand where you are in your stage of life, and make sure you select a plan that best meets your needs."
In addition to keeping most premiums flat, G.E.H.A added new benefits, including a discount program that allows members to save on everyday purchases, such as gas and retail items. The company also increased its contribution to a Health Savings Account for members enrolled in a high-deductible health plan.
Hakanson said he has spent the past year meeting with federal workers and G.E.H.A members, including those in the Washington, D.C., area, to better understand their concerns about affordability and healthcare costs.
As part of that effort, Hakanson has made his email available to G.E.H.A members. An "Email David" feature is available at GEHA.com, where members can also find information about plans and benefits. G.E.H.A FedVisors are available seven days a week to answer questions.
Hakanson encouraged federal employees to take a few moments during Open Season to compare coverage, premiums and benefits for themselves and their families
