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

The Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) program stands as a cornerstone of healthcare coverage for postal workers and annuitants within the United States Postal Service (USPS). Enacted under the auspices of the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022, this program serves as a pivotal component in ensuring that individuals associated with USPS have access to essential healthcare services. Its inception marks a concerted effort to address the unique healthcare needs of postal employees and retirees, acknowledging their contributions to the nation's postal system and safeguarding their well-being beyond their service years. Since the enactment of the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022 in April 2022, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), alongside the Postal Service, has been diligently working on implementing the PSHB Program, as stipulated by the law. Effective January 1, 2025, the PSHB Program, housed within the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, will be administered by OPM. At its core, the PSHB program embodies the commitment of USPS to prioritize the health and welfare of its workforce. By offering comprehensive health benefits, the program aims to alleviate the burden of healthcare costs and provide peace of mind to postal workers and annuitants. Understanding the foundational principles and objectives of the PSHB program is essential for navigating the complexities of healthcare coverage and making informed decisions regarding one's health.
