Walt Francis, principal author of Consumers’ Checkbook Guide to Health Plans for Federal Employees had this to say about the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) Health Plan’s Consumer-driven Option.
“The new APWU Consumer-driven plan is not only a real innovation, but one of our top ranked plans in almost all situations.”
– Walt Francis, Federal Diary Live, Washington Post Online, Nov 27, 2002
The APWU Health Plan’s Consumer-driven Option starts with a large, nationwide network with over 450,000 doctors. It eliminates things that don’t make sense – no office, drug or hospital co-payments, no upfront deductible and no referrals required for specialists. And it provides 100% in-network coverage each year for preventive care.
The APWU Health Plan’s Consumer-driven Option is available to all Federal and Postal employees. It provides a Personal Care Account that covers the first $1,200 (single) or $2,400 (family) of healthcare services paid at 100% – even prescription drugs. Your Personal Care Account is fully funded at the start of each year. Benefit dollars not used in a year roll over to the next year. And each year up to $400 (single) and $800 (family) of the Personal Care Account can be used for dental or vision care. Cap it off with a wealth of resources – both online and over the phone – to support your healthcare needs, including 24/7 access to nurse health coaches.
