Our enrollees continue to gain from the competition and managed care that form the backbone of the program. Many plans have improved mental health and substance abuse benefits as well as benefits for the diagnosis and treatment of the causes of infertility. And OPM continues to encourage plans to provide and expand their preferred provider networks for increased savings and convenience to enrollees. Most enrolles will also see improvements in the processing of their claims, particularly when they purchase prescription drugs. Using preferred drug networks will offer the advantage of electronic filing of claims for prescription drugs at the time of purchase, Enrollees will only have to pay for that portion of the drug cost not covered by the plan.
Postal premiums are available on request.
