Stamped for Health: A Handbook on PSHB Program and Medicare for Postal Workers

Chapter 4: Medicare Part C - Medicare Advantage Plans Enrolling in the Postal Service Health Benefits Program involves a straightforward process designed to ensure that postal workers have timely access to healthcare coverage. Typically, postal workers have specific enrollment periods during which they can sign up for or make changes to their health insurance coverage. During the enrollment period, postal workers are required to review the available health insurance plans offered through the PSHB Program, select their desired coverage options, and submit the necessary enrollment forms or documentation within the designated timeframe. It's essential to adhere to enrollment deadlines to avoid any lapses in coverage or penalties for late enrollment. Enrollment in the PSHB Program mandates selection of a health insurance plan during the 2024 open season, running from November 11 to December 9, 2024. Failure to actively choose a PSHB plan will result in automatic enrollment in a comparable one. Details on plan options and premiums will be available in fall 2024, with enrollment instructions forthcoming as the 2024 open season approaches. As with any healthcare program, the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program may undergo changes or updates yearly. These changes may include adjustments to premiums, changes in coverage options, updates to provider networks, or revisions to eligibility criteria. To stay informed about any changes to the PSHB Program for the upcoming year, postal workers should regularly review communications from the USPS, including announcements, newsletters, and updates from their human resources department. Additionally, postal workers can consult with benefits specialists or healthcare professionals for guidance and assistance regarding changes to the program.
