| * Thirteen FFS national plans participate in
FEHB; however, the Panama Canal Area Benefit Plan is excluded from this
analysis. Three of the remaining twelve plans offer separate high and
standard benefit options to enrollees (Blue Cross Blue Shield Plan, Postmasters
Benefit Plan, and Mailhandlers Benefit Plan). For the purpose of this
analysis, high and standard benefit options are counted as separate plan
benefit designs. Therefore, results in this table are calculated with
n = 15 for FFS plans and n = 164 for all plans. |
