The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to address the implementation of certain provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, as amended (ACA) making Federal employee health insurance accessible to employees of certain Indian tribal entities. The ACA includes authorization for Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and urban Indian organizations that carry out certain programs to purchase coverage, rights, and benefits under the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program for their employees. Tribal employers and tribal employees will be responsible for the full cost of benefits, plus an administrative fee.
