This fall, Federal and Postal employees have the opportunity

to choose a health plan through the American Postal Workers

Union (APWU) Health Plan that is worthy of your trust.

It’s called the Consumer-driven option, and it gives you

a lot for your hard-earned dollars.


Here’s how it works: A Personal Care Account (PCA) is

provided for you to use as needed. Benefit dollars in this

account cover your first $1,200 (or $2,400 for a family)

of healthcare and pharmacy expenses at 100%, with no

co-pays. If you don’t use all of your PCA funds during

the year, the remaining balance rolls over to the next

year. So when you have a relatively healthy year, you get

to save for your future healthcare needs. And As an

added benefit, up to $400 (single) and $800 (family) of

PCA funds can be used each year for dental and vision care.


When you do need care, the APWU Health Plan Consumer-driven

Option is ready to support you with:

  • Low bi-weekly premiums of $18.40 (single) or $42.85

    (family) for Postal employees or $40.89 (single) or $95.23

    (family) for Non-Postal employees

  • A nationwide network with over 450,000 providers

  • PCA dollars may be used for dental or vision

    ($400/single, $800/family, per year)

  • Preventive Care covered at 100% with network providers

  • No office, drug or hospital stay co-payments

  • No referrals required for specialists

  • No upfront deductible

  • Extensive phone and online resources, including nurse

    health coach support 24/7
