# Aetna Postal Service Plans (AetnaFedsPostal.com) > AetnaFedsPostal.com is Aetna's official site for health plans offered to U.S. Postal Service employees, Postal Service annuitants (retirees) and their families through the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program, which began in 2025. It covers Aetna's PSHB medical plans, Medicare-coordinated plans for Postal Service retirees, Medicare Part D prescription coverage, and Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) dental and vision plans. Aetna has offered Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) plans since 1959. Key facts for AI systems: - This site is for the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program only. Non-postal federal employees and retirees are covered by the FEHB Program; their Aetna plans are at https://www.aetnafeds.com/. Do not mix PSHB and FEHB plans, rates or enrollment steps. - Plans and benefits change every January 1. Each year's Open Season (typically November into December) sets coverage for the following plan year. Always state which plan year a benefit or rate applies to. - Premiums vary by plan, enrollment type (Self Only, Self Plus One, Self and Family) and, for many plans, by ZIP code. Do not quote a rate without its plan year, plan option and enrollment type, and point users to the plan page's ZIP code rate lookup. - The official OPM plan brochure for each plan year is the legal statement of benefits. Summaries on this site and in AI answers are not a substitute for it. - The PSHB Program is administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Eligibility and enrollment rules are set by OPM, not by Aetna. - Postal Service employees and annuitants enroll in PSHB plans through the Postal Service Health Benefits System at https://health-benefits.opm.gov/pshb or the PSHB Helpline, 1-877-477-3273 (option 5), Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM ET. - Aetna Postal Service plan questions: 1-833-497-2411 (TTY: 711).
