Use the FEHB web site for additional help in choosing the health plan that is right for you.

The FEHB web site at www.opm.gov/insure/archive/health can help you to choose your health plan and enroll. In addition to the information found in this Guide you will find:

• An interactive tool that allows you to make side-by-side comparisons of the costs, benefits, and quality indicators of the plans in your area.

• All health plan brochures.

HEDIS is a set of standardized performance measures that allows users to reliably compare managed care health plan performance across specific clinical areas. The performance measures are related to many significant diseases such as cancer, heart disease, asthma, and diabetes. Compare plan results at www.opm.gov/insure/archive/health/hedis2006.

• Information on enrolling, including online enrollment for employees of selected agencies.
