Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program

The Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program is a new, separate program within the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) which will provide health insurance to eligible Postal Service employees, Postal Service annuitants, and their eligible family members starting in 2025. The PSHB Program coverage will replace Federal Employees Health Benefit (FEHB) Program coverage for these groups.

USPS has issued fact sheets on the PSHB program – one for current Postal employees , and one for Postal annuitants . Visiting these links will bring you to a USPS-owned website.

PSHB Program NPRM FAQ

Corrected June 11, 2024

On May 24, 2024, OPM’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Postal Service Health Benefits Program: Additional Requirements and Clarifications , was published in the Federal Register . The proposed rule expands on previous regulations concerning the PSHB Program and is intended to provide greater detail and clarity necessary to properly implement PSHB in 2025 and beyond. Specific topics include: reconsideration of PSHB eligibility decisions, various applications of the Medicare Part B enrollment requirement, allocation of reserve credits, calendar year alignment of Government contribution requirements, financial reporting and actuarial calculations, premium payment prioritization from the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund, and Medicare Part D integration.

Public comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking will be accepted for 30 days, until June 23, 2024, through the Federal eRulemaking Portal .

When will the proposals in the proposed rule be effective?

The rule is a notice of proposed rulemaking and is open for public comment for 30 days until June 23, 2024. After considering comments received through the notice and comment process, OPM will work toward the goal of issuing a final rule with an effective date before the PSHB transitional Open Season begins on November 11, 2024.

What Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits are required to be offered by PSHB carriers?

Under the Postal Service Reform Act (PSRA), all PSHB carriers are required to provide prescription drug benefits for Medicare Part D-eligible Postal Service annuitants and their Part D-eligible family members through a Medicare Part D employer group waiver plan (EGWP). This is a new requirement for PSHB plans that does not apply to FEHB plans. PSHB Carriers must offer a Part D EGWP to all Medicare Part D-eligible PSHB annuitants and their Part D-eligible covered family members. This Part D EGWP will provide prescription drug benefits to these Part D-eligible individuals.

Are Medicare Part D-eligible PSHB annuitants and their Medicare Part D-eligible family members required to be enrolled in the PSHB Part D EGWP?

While the proposed rule reflects that Medicare Part D-eligible annuitants and their Part D-eligible family members would be automatically group enrolled into the Part D EGWP, it reflects that they may choose to opt out of receiving prescription drug coverage through the PSHB Part D EGWP. This proposed rule provides, consistent with the statute, that the Part D EGWP offered by their PSHB plan is the only PSHB prescription drug benefit available for Part D-eligible PSHB annuitants and their Part D-eligible covered family members. As proposed, Medicare Part D-eligible annuitants and their family members who choose to opt out of or disenroll from the PSHB plan’s Part D EGWP would not have access to prescription drug benefits through their PSHB plan and would not pay a lower premium than those enrolled in the Part D EGWP. An individual who opts out of or disenrolls from the Part D EGWP would be allowed to enroll again during the next open season or an applicable Qualifying Life Event (QLE) if they wish.

What is EGWP group enrollment and what are the requirements for Carriers?

Group enrollment is a permitted method of Medicare Part D enrollment that allows a Carrier to enroll a group of individuals into Medicare Part D at one time. OPM is proposing to require PSHB Carriers to group enroll Medicare Part D eligible enrollees into their PSHB plan’s Part D EGWP.  As proposed, Medicare Part D-eligible annuitants and Part D-Eligible covered family members could choose to opt out of this group enrollment and decline Medicare Part D coverage through PSHB. Carriers must comply with Medicare requirements regarding Part D EGWP group enrollment.

How will PSHB processes for reconsiderations of enrollment decisions differ from existing FEHB processes?

The NPRM proposes that OPM will be responsible for reconsidering certain initial enrollment decisions and issuing final decisions regarding enrollments and coverage of family members for the PSHB Program. This is similar to how these processes are handled currently in FEHB.

PSHB enrollment decisions are different from FEHB because, for purposes of the Part B enrollment requirements for certain Postal Service annuitants, OPM is relying on information received from other federal agencies. For example, Medicare eligible Postal Service annuitants may be eligible for an exception from the Part B enrollment requirement if they are receiving health care benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The proposed reconsiderations process for PSHB would provide a process for enrollees to contest accuracy of information that came from an agency other than OPM.

The proposed rule also includes deadlines for requesting reconsiderations, and the circumstances under which the time limit may be extended. These time limits align with those for FEHB.

How may correction of errors for PSHB enrollments differ from FEHB?

The NPRM proposes an expanded role for OPM in the correction of enrollment errors for PSHB as compared to FEHB. This is to account for OPM’s central role in administering the PSHB enrollment process. The NPRM proposes that OPM could also make prospective or retroactive corrections of administrative errors at any time, rather than only the employing office which makes such corrections for FEHB. The NPRM proposes that retroactive corrections would be subject to certain withholding and contributions.

How may court review for PSHB differ from FEHB?

The NPRM proposes a process and timeline for PSHB enrollment-related lawsuits for OPM enrollment actions that are based on data received from other agencies. In general, lawsuits involving information from agencies other than OPM must be brought no later than December 31 of the 3 rd year after the year of the enrollment action, which aligns with the timeline for court review of FEHB claims. OPM proposed the new process because PSHB enrollment actions may account for the Medicare Part B enrollment requirement for most Medicare eligible Postal annuitants, which would require information from agencies other than OPM.

What will happen to current USPS employees, annuitants, and their covered family members during the 2024 Open Season if they do not make an active plan selection?

USPS employees, annuitants and their covered family members will be automatically enrolled into a PSHB plan for the 2025 plan year to avoid coverage disruptions. OPM is proposing to more clearly delineate the process for automatic enrollment into a PSHB plan for those enrollees who do not select a PSHB plan option during the 2024 transitional Open Season. OPM has proposed that enrollees who take no action during the transitional Open Season would be automatically enrolled into the same plan that has equivalent benefits and cost-sharing to the 2025 FEHB plan option in which the Postal employee or annuitant was enrolled for the 2024 plan year. If there is no equivalent option, the enrollee would be enrolled in the lowest cost option for that carrier in the same geographic region that is not a high deductible health plan and does not charge an association or membership fee. OPM has also proposed automatic enrollment options for when a carrier does not offer a plan in FEHB in 2025 but does offer a 2025 PSHB plan and the automatic enrollment option, established in the PSRA, if no equivalent or similar plan is offered in PSHB (the lowest cost nationwide plan that is not a high deductible health plan and does charge a membership fee).

As a reminder, enrollees may select a different PSHB plan during Open Season if they choose.

More information about automatic enrollment is available in the preamble to the NPRM.

How and when will PSHB plan reserves be credited? How will the reserves be incorporated in the 2025 rate calculation?

The Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 (PSRA) requires that OPM maintain separate PSHB reserves, including separate contingency reserves, and requires that PSHB plans are credited with a proportional amount of FEHB reserve funds for the new PSHB plans. OPM proposes to credit the PSHB reserves as soon as practicable on or after January 1, 2025.

OPM is proposing to credit reserves from FEHB plans to PSHB plans based on the 2024 premium attributable to the Postal enrollee population as a percentage of 2024 premium income. As proposed, the requirement to credit reserves would apply to all 2024 FEHB Carriers with Postal enrollees, whether or not they are offering 2025 PSHB plans. More detail about OPM’s proposals to attribute these credits to plans and plan options is available in the preamble to the NPRM and in Carrier Letter 2023-13 published July 19, 2023.

Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program FAQs

The team at OPM, in conjunction with the United States Postal Service (Postal Service), is working tirelessly to help ensure a seamless transition and positive experience for Postal Service employees, Postal Service annuitants, and their families.

What to Know Right Now

Who is eligible for coverage through the pshb program.

According to the law, Postal Service employees, Postal Service annuitants, and their family members who are currently eligible for coverage under the FEHB Program will be eligible for coverage under the PSHB Program.

Is there anything Postal Service employees or annuitants need to do right now to keep their health insurance coverage?

Not immediately. Employees, annuitants, and eligible family members may continue to participate in the FEHB Program for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 plan years. Their current FEHB enrollment will continue unless they make any changes prior to January 2025. OPM and the Postal Service will continue to provide updates leading up to the 2024 PSHB Open Season to help ensure a smooth transition for all eligible employees and annuitants.

When does the PSHB Program begin?

The first opportunity to select a PSHB plan will take place during Open Season in late 2024, and coverage under the PSHB health benefits program coverage will begin January 2025.

Are there any upcoming deadlines to know about?

Eligible Postal Service employees and Postal Service annuitants must enroll in a PSHB plan during the PSHB Program Open Season in late 2024. Postal Service employees and Postal Service annuitants currently enrolled in FEHB plans who do not enroll in a new PSHB plan during Open Season in 2024 will automatically be enrolled in a PSHB plan.

Will the PSHB Program affect enrollment in any other benefits?

Enrollment in a PSHB plan will not disrupt enrollment in other insurance and benefits programs, including:

• Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)
• Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS)
• Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (FEGLI), or
• Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP)

Does the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 (PSRA) allow Postal Service employees, Postal Service annuitants, and their eligible family members to remain in a Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) plan in 2025?

While Postal Service employees, Postal Service annuitants, and their eligible family members will remain in the FEHB Program, for coverage effective January 1, 2025, they will no longer be able to remain in an FEHB plan. During Open Season in 2024, eligible individuals must enroll or will be automatically enrolled in a Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) plan, within the FEHB Program, in order to receive health insurance based upon their active employment with or retirement from the Postal Service.

Does the Postal Service Reform Act (PSRA) affect the ability of family members of Postal Service employees or Postal Service annuitants who are separately eligible for enrollment in FEHB plans to enroll in FEHB plans?

No. If a family member of a Postal Service employee or Postal Service annuitant meets the eligibility requirements for enrollment in an FEHB plan, such as through qualifying employment with the Federal government, the PSRA will not affect their eligibility to enroll in an FEHB plan or affect their ability to cover their eligible family members.

Will there be an opportunity to enroll in Medicare Part B without a late enrollment penalty?

Yes. Most Postal Service annuitants and their eligible family members who are entitled to Medicare Part A will be eligible to enroll in Medicare Part B during a six-month special enrollment period (SEP). Individuals who qualify for the SEP will receive a separate notification prior to April 1, 2024, in accordance with the PSRA.

Does the implementation of the PSHB Program affect eligibility for continuing enrollment in health benefits after retirement?

Yes. Subject to limited exceptions, Postal Service annuitants and their family members who are entitled to Medicare Part A must enroll in Medicare Part B to be eligible to continue PSHB coverage.

Post office travel application

Now, the post office application has been very useful, as one can top up money whilst travelling as well as check ones balance on the travel money card. In conclusion, lastly, I found the travel money card particularly useful on 16th November 2019, evening time as one can search for useful tips and questions that one maybe concerned about before travelling, during and after travel, and for me, I found this application extremely useful, as there was information I needed to know before my travel, such as the currency of the country I am travelling to, and where to obtain the currency of the country I am travelling to shortly. Moreover, I thank the developers for making this useful, and appropriate travel application as I believe it is a safe as well as secure method of travelling with money, to the country of ones choice instead of carrying loads of cash around in different currencies, and risking theft issues or lost issues. Also, I found the help and advice section on the website useful, as I had forgotten my PIN number as I never used my travel money card for a while, and I was able to call up a number from the travel money website, and follow the on phone instructions to retrieve my PIN number once again. Next, thank you developers for making this travel application once again. Many thanks Hannah Boyce

Developer Response ,

Thanks very much for the fantastic feedback, glad you like the app and the product.

Dreadful new App not working for 3 days now

Rang customer services 3 days ago now as newly downloaded App top up button gives an error that it can’t fetch the rates right now so have to go on main website to do that. Then when you use the card it doesn’t update the balance. It retrieve the pin either. The card was then unsupported in an ATM when I tried doing a balance enquiry. Different information from service staff who told me I needed to load another £50 minimum on card and buy something using chip and pin to use card for for first time. However that’s £3 commission just to load on £50 of your own money ! I don’t even need sterling on the card as the whole point is for using it abroad to TRAVEL!! So I had already bought Euros. The lady in the post office said I can’t use the card at all for online purchases however I managed to pay for my holiday eventually over the phone in euros once they had removed the security 3 times! A smarter assistant also said I don’t need to add sterling to buy something in U.K. - the euros will auto convert- which they did. Still stuck with a non working app and took 3 hours to finally get the card loaded and working to pay for holiday. Agh. Why so complicated

Thank you for your feedback. This will be shared with our development teams who are committed to improving the app experience for all.

No problems at all

I have had and used this Post Office Travel Card for the last eight years with no issues whatsoever, it expired earlier this year and a replacement arrived in good time for this year’s use. I did have a little hiccup with the first login online for the first use but very soon sorted out and hay presto of and running again, brilliant. I did have a lot of issues with another company travel card whereby EVERY TIME I tried to login on the app or online it wouldn’t recognise me and had to reset password wasted six and a half hours, still getting no results so cancel the subscription 😡. Update to review April 2024 I have been away from UK to USA and CANADA this time and have had no end of problems trying to login into the app on my phone or Laptop, issue with the app freezing on my phone or going round in circles on laptop with password/security reset issues I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled all to no avail it would not let me use face recognition ID Very disappointed after such a brilliant service the first time around until the new card and updated app 😡😡😡 I to like so many others am looking for an alternative card & app.

Post office partners with air doctor to launch exclusive travel insurance service for holidaymakers abroad.

Post Office is pleased to announce a partnership with Air Doctor, a globally recognised leader in healthcare access services. This collaboration aims to revolutionise the travel experience for customers by adding comprehensive non-emergency medical assistance to the award-winning travel insurance provider’s cover.

As the peak summer travel season begins, early June saw a record number of travel insurance policies sold by the Post Office. To provide even better service this summer, Post Office is offering new and renewing customers an additional free service with Air Doctor to help ensure they can get the treatment they need for minor ailments. Air Doctor brings together a vast network of over 20,000 qualified doctors across the world and has links with medical facilities in over 75 different countries, ensuring travellers have access to quality healthcare wherever their journeys take them. Through its user-friendly mobile app, Air Doctor enables Post Office Travel Insurance customers to effortlessly locate and book appointments with trusted doctors while abroad. The app supports seven languages, telemedicine services are available in up to 21 languages, and appointments are available in person, via video call or a visit to customers’ accommodation. In addition, the Air Doctor team provides 24/7 multi-lingual support so the Post Office’s customers can get help every step of the way.

This service will be standard across all Post Office single trip, annual multi-trip and backpacker travel insurance policies and across all levels of cover – Economy, Standard and Premier bought online, over the phone or in-branch from 3 rd  July 2023. Post Office’s Emergency Medical Assistance service has not changed and works with the Air Doctor service: if a local doctor assesses a customer and recommends a visit to hospital, then this can be arranged and the medical case will then be handed over to the Emergency Medical team in the UK to be managed wherever Post Office’s customers are.

Key benefits of this partnership include:

• Comprehensive Coverage: Post Office policyholders will receive access to Air Doctor's suite of services, including doctor consultations, prescriptions and medical referrals.
• Streamlined Experience: Through Air Doctor's user-friendly mobile application, travellers can easily locate nearby medical providers and schedule appointments.
• Global Reach: Air Doctor's extensive network spans across numerous countries, ensuring travellers have access to medical services in destinations worldwide*, in multiple languages.
• Cashless and claimless: there’s no excess on the Air Doctor service and no medical fees to pay.

Paul Paddock, Head of Travel Insurance and Protection at the Post Office, said:  “We’re delighted to be working with Air Doctor to help our customers access non-emergency medical care while on holiday at no extra cost. With people worried about themselves or family members needing medical assistance on their travels, the Air Doctor service provides peace of mind that they can access non-emergency medical support wherever they are*.

“We’ve made this as simple as possible by including it in all our single trip, annual multi-trip and backpacker travel insurance policies and across all levels of cover – Economy, Standard and Premier, so that anyone travelling with Post Office travel insurance is covered at no extra cost and with no need to make a claim – customers can just book an appointment direct through the app with no additional fees.”
