As a USPS employee or retiree, APWU Health Plan is here to help you understand your Medicare enrollment options under the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program.
The PSHB Program includes a key change for Medicare-eligible USPS retirees. If you retire and become eligible for Medicare after January 1, 2025, you and your Medicare-eligible family members must enroll in Medicare Part B to be eligible for PSHB coverage, unless you qualify for an exception.
The UnitedHealthcare® Medicare Advantage (PPO) for APWU Health Plan enhances your PSHB Program coverage by reducing or eliminating cost-sharing for services. To qualify for this program, you must be retired and enrolled in the High Option and in Medicare Parts A and B.
Contact UnitedHealthcare to find out if you’re eligible to enroll in our Medicare Advantage plan:
8 am – 8 pm, local time, Monday – Friday
To explore your enrollment options and access helpful resources, visit the official Medicare website of the United States government.
