A Trusted Partner in Preventive Health

Sure, you can have quality benefits. But when you’re actually given the tools to understand how to make the most of them—that’s when your health coverage works hardest.

FEP is committed to helping federal employees, retirees and their families stay healthy with the benefits and resources that make health coverage easy to use. That includes helping members get ahead of more serious health conditions through approachable programs tailored to real life. This way, members can feel empowered using their coverage every single day.

Helping Members Stay Healthy from the Start

FEP believes staying healthy starts with prevention. Members can get many preventive services at no cost when they visit a Preferred provider. These services include yearly checkups, health screenings and so much more. That means members can put their health first without extra costs.

The Wellness Incentive Program is another great benefit for members to build healthy habits. Joining also means getting rewarded for reaching your health goals. Members enrolled in FEP Blue Standard® or FEP Blue Basic® can earn up to $120 each year for completing healthy habit goals.

These goals may include eating healthier, being more active, managing stress or caring for ongoing health conditions. Rewards can be used for certain medical expenses, giving members more reason to stay on track.

Members can also use their rewards at our exclusive discount program, Blue365®. Save even more money on health and wellness deals when you put your rewards toward purchases like: healthy meal kits, fitness trackers, gym memberships and so much more.

Costs and Coverage, Made Simple

Health care costs can be hard to understand. FEP makes them easier by offering clear tools and helpful information. Members can learn more about total costs, prescription drug coverage and preventive services.

One helpful tool is the Prescription Drug Cost Tool. It shows whether a drug is covered, how much it may cost and if less expensive options are available. This helps members avoid surprises at the pharmacy.

Members can also view claims and statements online at any time. This makes it easier to stay organized and track health care expenses.

One of members’ favorite benefits is the “10 for 10.” With this perk, each covered person on a BCBS FEP Blue Focus® plan pays just $10 for the first 10 primary care or specialist visits per year. Under BCBS FEP Blue Basic®, you get set copays so you’ll always know what you’ll owe.

Benefits That Work Harder

FEP knows that the health care system can be difficult to understand. That’s why the program works to simplify things like prior approvals, claims and other steps that can slow care.

Members have access to a large nationwide network with more than 2.2 million doctors and hospitals and over 55,000 retail pharmacies. This makes it easier to find in-network care wherever members live or travel.

For care anytime, FEP offers 24/7 virtual visits through Teladoc Health®. Members can get help for common illnesses, mental health needs or skin conditions—day or night.

Members do not need referrals to see specialists. This means fewer steps and faster access to expert care.

Always in Your Corner

FEP has a long history of serving federal employees and members continue to trust the program. In fact, 99% of members choose to stay with FEP each year.

Members also have access to local events, customer support and helpful resources in their communities. These resources support every stage of life. From planning for retirement to helping local food pantries to health programs and education efforts. FEP is here for members’ whole health, for life.
