Postal Service Employees & Retirees
FEP is committed to providing Postal Service employees, retirees and their families with some of the best health care benefits possible.
Proud to cover employees in the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program (FEP) is an approved carrier by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) within the PSHB Program. We offer three plan options you can choose from to fit you and your family's needs.
What you need to know about the Postal Service Health Benefits Program
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Federal Employee Program (FEP) has been proud to provide coverage since 1960. In 2025, the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program was created for Postal Service employees, retirees and eligible family members.
