The Postal Service Health Benefits program, prescription coverage and Open Season 2025

OPM released its annual call letter to insurance carriers earlier this month where they outlined their areas of focus for plan year 2025. Most of the initiatives center on Medicare coordination with FEHB coverage, in particular how federal annuitants will receive prescription drug coverage.
