Prescription Drug Coverage for PSHB
Take a closer look at our prescription drug coverage and pharmacy programs.
What you need to know about the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program
FEP is committed to providing Postal Service employees, retirees and their families with some of the best health care benefits possible. As an approved carrier in the PSHB Program, FEP will continue to deliver the same great coverage, incentives and discounts that you rely on today.
Your prescription drug coverage
As a retired Postal Service employee, your prescriptions are covered by our Medicare Prescription Drug Program (MPDP), a Medicare Part D plan, that gives you lower out-of-pocket costs for higher-cost drugs and access to more approved prescription drugs. The drug list includes all covered prescription drugs, including generic, brand name and specialty drugs for your plan.
Please note that if you opt out or disenroll from MPDP, you will no longer have any prescription drug benefits with FEP.

Enrollment
If you opt out or disenroll, you can reenroll later
Postal Service members who chose to opt out and/or disenroll from MPDP can reenroll up to 90 days from their effective date. Coverage will be retroactive back to your effective date.
After 90 days, you can still reenroll but coverage will not be retroactive.
Are you living or traveling overseas?*
FEP members who have MPDP cannot purchase drugs overseas. Whether you are traveling or moving overseas, you cannot use the MPDP benefit to purchase drugs while abroad. If you take a maintenance medication and you intend to go overseas for an extended period of time, you may be eligible for an extended filling of the prescription before you leave the U.S. This will require a 12-month prescription from your doctor and is not applicable for controlled substances. Contact our Pharmacy Program at 1-888-338-7737 to learn more.
Prior approval and covered equivalents
Specific drugs on the approved MPDP drug list require prior approval and/or have quantity limits. We have these policies for safety purposes. You can see drugs with prior approval criteria and step therapy criteria on the MPDP Drug List here. The full list of Prior approval MPDP Criteria and Step Therapy Criteria can be downloaded under MPDP Resources by Plan.
