Summary

Require master contracts to make carriers give reasonable reports to the Office of Personnel Management and to let OPM and the Government Accountability Office inspect carrier records when needed. Federal agencies must keep records, make required certifications, and give OPM, the carrier, or both any information or reports OPM asks for. The Government Accountability Office must send written evaluations of the program to the President, OPM, and both Houses of Congress before the end of the third and fifth years the program is in effect. Those reports must look at how the program compares to group and individual private insurance. OPM must help GAO with periodic evaluations.
