Open Season Is Coming — Here’s What You Need to Know

Open Season is a once-a-year opportunity for you to enroll in or change coverage for Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB), USPS Health Benefits (USPSHB) Plan, Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP), and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).

This Open Season, take the time to determine if your health plan meets your current healthcare needs and dependent situation. For example, if you have only one other family member on your health plan, the new Self Plus One enrollment type, available this year, may be the right choice for you. Make sure to use all of the resources available to you to evaluate your options and find the right plan for you. You might even end up saving money!

The LiteBlue Open Season page at https://liteblue.usps.gov/openseason7 is your information hub that includes everything you need to prepare for Open Season, including information about Self Plus One. Although Guides to Benefits will not be provided for benefits programs this year, you can find all the resources you need regarding premium rates, coverage details, and more, as well as a link to OPM’s Plan Comparison Tool to evaluate your options and find the right plan for you — all on the LiteBlue page.

2015 Open Season dates for FEHB, USPSHB, FEDVIP, and FSA programs are November 9 through December 14, 11:59 p.m., ET. Remember — unless you have a “Qualifying Life Event,” this is the only time during the year that you can make changes to your health benefits enrollment.

Be active and take action this Open Season.
