We recommend that the contracting officer require the applicable BCBS companies to return $12,250 to the FEHBP for pension costs that were overcharged to the FEHBP from 2014 through 2017 ($6,576 by Wellmark BCBS; $3,740 by Regence BCBS; and $1,934 by Premera BC). However, since we verified that Wellmark BCBS, Regence BCBS, and Premera BC subsequently returned $12,250 to the FEHBP for these pension cost overcharges, no further action is required for this questioned amount.
