No, any coverage provided under your FEHB plan remains as your primary coverage. FEDVIP coverage would pay secondary to that coverage. FEDVIP is not intended to replace any existing coverage.

It depends. FEHB plans vary greatly in the amount and type of dental and/or vision services they cover. The FEHB plan is the first payor of benefits. FEDVIP is the secondary payor to any FEHB benefits. Review your FEHB plan’s brochure to find out what dental and vision coverage it offers.

No. If you use your health care flexible spending account to pay for eligible expenses, you cannot deduct those same expenses from your federal income tax return. Keep in mind that by IRS law, you are only allowed to deduct medical expenses that exceed 10% of your gross income. The advantage of the health care flexible spending account is that you can get a tax benefit on health expenses below that threshold.
