Reminder: There’s an online tool available to help Postal Service employees assess health care plans during open season, which is now underway.

The Office of Personnel Management’s plan comparison tool allows users to:

  • View a side-by-side comparison of as many as four plans at once.
  • Search plans by name and plan code. To begin, first search by ZIP Code to see the plans available in your area and applicable nationwide plans.
  • See detailed information about plans, including rates, customer satisfaction, premiums and benefits.
  • Conduct advanced searches for in-depth information about the services covered by each plan.

A link to the tool is available on the LiteBlue open season site, along with brochures, references, instructions and more.

Open season — the annual period when employees can make changes to their health, dental and vision coverage or choose a new plan — will conclude Dec. 14.
