See what MHBP can do for you
-
Paul H.:
I started with the post office in 1976 as a mail handler. First thing I did was join the union. Second thing I did was sign up for the Mail Handler Benefit Plan.
Nina G.:
And it’s created by mail handlers for mail handlers, and then the Federal employees get to join as well.
Charles C.:
For me, there really was no other plan.
Nina G.:
It serves the mission of our union to offer great health plan which supports the health of our membership, which is really important to our goals.
Brian P.:
We have three very good plans. We have the Standard Option, our Consumer Option, our Value Plan, so basically we have a plan that anyone can make their own.
Schann H.:
Our Standard Option is our what I would call our traditional copay based plan. The Standard Plan is awesome for people who use a lot of services. Our prescription benefits are phenomenal. Maternity is covered at a hundred percent, so young families can benefit with the Standard Option. Our Consumer Option is our high deductible health plan with the health savings account.
Brian P.:
With our high deductible Consumer Option, you’re getting the most money that’s actually contributed by any plan in the FEHB system into your HSA account.
Schann H.:
If they don’t use those funds during the year, all those funds roll over and accumulate year after year. The other side of that coin is when they do need services, our consumer option has phenomenal benefits.
Brad C.:
On the low cost end of things. We have our Value Plan, which is a plan that is designed for younger, healthier people to protect them from catastrophic losses.
Schann H.:
And the premium is one of the lowest in the Federal program. And even with that low premium, we still cover all of the preventative care at 100%. Even though it’s got that low premium, it still has really solid benefits.
Brian P.:
They can actually get all of their lab work done with zero cost to them. We offer all of our members zero cost MinuteClinic® visits and telehealth visits as well.
Nina G.:
Once members join our plan, they tend to stay. We have people who have been in our health plan for over 30 years.
John G.:
They’ve treated us like family. It’s just been the right fit for us.
Pamela B.:
We have a dedicated customer service team that is available to answer questions 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Michael H.:
You can’t put a clock on your needs for healthcare and for answers, so I can reach out at any time during the day and get the service that I need.
Mark H.:
At 2:30 in the morning or seven o’clock in the morning or 12 in the afternoon, you’re going to get the same service form one of our experienced customer service reps any point in time of the day. That’s our commitment to the members. There are many different ways that members can contact customer service, either via phone call, traditional mail, they can go through our MHBP.com website, they can go through our online live chat.
Kevin T.:
The Aetna network, it’s unrivaled.
Michael H.:
I tend to travel a lot and I move around a lot in my job, and I want to make sure that I have services available to me no matter where I am. The size of the network is fantastic and made that an easy choice.
John G.:
The fact that we could retain our treating physicians and the folks we’ve been used to for many, many years, the network really coverage was important to my wife and I.
Brad C.:
Our network is virtually unmatched in the industry and we encourage any members to look at their current doctors and if they’re not in our network, we have a very simple process to nominate them.
Kevin T.:
I did some comparisons to some of the other large national health plans and the value and the network seem to make this plan the right choice.
Edvina T.:
When I think of MHBP, I think of affordability and stability.
Kelly D.:
Mail handlers is a very physical job. It takes a lot of toll on our bodies, and many of us seek chiropractic care as a way to help heal our bodies and feel better about ourselves. So, having the expansive chiropractic coverage that we do get through the plan is really top-notch.
Brad C.:
We need not forget about supplemental products that MHBP offers as well. We have a dental product and a vision product that are available to all Federal employees. And the benefit of those products is it’s not just an open season election process, you can join at any time during the year.
Charles C.:
I like the Mail Handler’s Benefit Plan because of the options, the price, and the overall service I get with the plan.
John G.:
They understand union workers.
Kevin T.:
A lot of people don’t know about our plan and how good it is, and if they do the comparison and they give us a try, I’m quite sure they’ll be very satisfied.
