The DOD-Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) demonstration was one of several demonstrations established to examine alternatives for addressing retirees' lack of Medicare supplemental coverage. The demonstration was mandated by the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (NDAA 1999), which also required GAO to evaluate the demonstration. GAO assessed enrollment in the demonstration and the premiums set by demonstration plans. To do this, GAO, in collaboration with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and DOD, conducted a survey of enrollees and eligible nonenrollees. GAO also examined DOD enrollment data, Medicare and OPM claims data, and OPM premiums data. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-547/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-547.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-547/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-547.pdf GAO-03-547 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-547 Other Written Product GAO-03-547; Military Retiree Health Benefits: Enrollment Low in Federal Employee Health Plans under DOD Demonstration; Health insurance Retired military personnel Retirement benefits Health care programs Federal Employees Health Benefits Program Volume 111 Page 251 111 Stat. 251 Volume 112 Page 1920 112 Stat. 1920 Volume 114 Page 1645A 114 Stat. 1645A Public Law 105-33 Public Law 105-261 Public Law 106-398
