This Week on FEDtalk: Open Season Resources

Visit the Virtual Benefits Fair anytime between November 14 and December 12.

More than eight and a half million people receive health insurance benefits through the FEHB Program, and the BCBS Service Benefit Plan, also known as the Federal Employee Program (or FEP), covers more than 5.4 million federal employees, retirees. and their families. Learn more about the two coverage types–Standard Option and Basic Option–offered by Blue Cross and find out which is best for you.
