Prescription Drug Coverage for PSHB
Take a closer look at our prescription drug coverage and pharmacy programs.
Your prescription drug coverage
As a retired Postal Service employee, your prescriptions are covered by our Medicare Prescription Drug Program (MPDP), a Medicare Part D plan, that gives you lower out-of-pocket costs for higher-cost drugs and access to more approved prescription drugs. The drug list includes all covered prescription drugs, including generic, brand name and specialty drugs for your plan.
Please note that if you opt out or disenroll from MPDP, you will no longer have any prescription drug benefits with FEP.

Are you living or traveling overseas?*
FEP members who have MPDP cannot purchase drugs overseas. Whether you are traveling or moving overseas, you cannot use the MPDP benefit to purchase drugs while abroad. If you take a maintenance medication and you intend to go overseas for an extended period of time, you may be eligible for an extended filling of the prescription before you leave the U.S. This will require a 12-month prescription from your doctor and is not applicable for controlled substances. Contact our Pharmacy Program at 1-888-338-7737 to learn more.
