• Are dentures covered under FEDVIP (Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program)? View more
  Yes, all FEDVIP dental plans cover dentures. However, requirements for coverage may vary between plans.  We suggest that you have your dentist submit a predetermination of benefits prior to beginning the work so both you and your dentist have an estimate of what the plan may pay and what your out-of-pocket expense may be.

• I recently transferred to a different agency in a different geographic area. Does all my FEDVIP enrollment information automatically transfer over, or do I need to re-enroll? View more
  You do not need to reenroll.  Although your payroll office will notify BENEFEDS of the change in payroll offices, we encourage enrollees to notify BENEFEDS before any change in enrollment.  If you do not see the premium deduction by your new payroll office, please contact BENEFEDS at 1-877-888-3337.

• I am completely satisfied with my coverage and plan to continue it next year. Do I need to do anything for both FEHB and the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)? View more
  No. For FEHB and FEDVIP, if you and your eligible family members are satisfied with the coverage that you have now, then you do not have to do anything.  Keep in mind that premiums and benefits change each year, so you should check the plan brochures.  All FEHB and FEDVIP plan brochures are on our website at www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/.

• What should I consider in making my decision to participate in Federal Dental or Vision insurance program (FEDVIP)? View more
  There are questions you should ask yourself when deciding to enroll in FEDVIP or selecting a FEDVIP plan. By considering these questions thoroughly, you will be able to determine if FEDVIP is a good option for you.
  
  1. Does my FEHB plan provide dental or vision coverage?
  
  2. Does the FEDVIP plan coordinate benefits with the FEHB plan and how is the coordination of benefits calculated?
  
  3. How affordable is the plan?
  
  - How much will it cost me on a bi­weekly or monthly basis? Can I afford that for the entire year?
  - Must I pay a deductible?
  - If I use a FEDVIP provider outside of the network, how much will I pay to get care?
  - How frequently can I visit the dentist and how much do I have to pay at each visit?
  - Will the plan provide benefits if I am also covered by another dental or vision plan?
  
  4. Do I have access to any provider?
  
  - Does the plan give me the freedom to choose my own dentist or am I restricted to a panel of dentists selected by the plan?
  - Are there enough of the kinds of dentists I want to see?
  Where will I go for care? Are these places near where I work or live?
  - Do I need to get permission before I see a dental specialist?
  - Will the plan allow referrals to specialists? Will my dentist and I be able to choose the specialist?
  
  5. Does the plan provide coverage for specialty services?
  
  - Are dentures, orthodontics, implants or replacement of missing teeth covered?
  - What are the plan’s limitations or exclusions?
  - Are there annual limits on the types of services included?
