​​NARFE Sponsored Health Fairs in Western WA are as follows:
Most Representatives from the major Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) plans (BlueCross- BlueShield, Kaiser Permanente, GEHA, APWU, MHBP, Aetna, United Health, etc.) will be there to hand out and discuss their 2024 plans. This is a great opportunity to ask questions of our FEHB representatives and how changes in the coming year will affect benefits for current federal employees, NARFE members, retirees and their spouses and/or survivors.​

Greetings Oregon and SW Washington Federal Agencies!
     Well, it is officially that time of year – Open Season. And even though the first official day is not until Monday, November 13, our Open Season activities have begun.  Please note that my response times may be delayed during this very busy time. Please be patient….I will get back to you – it just might not be right away. If you need to speak to someone immediately, please reach out to our fantastic Customer Service staff @ 800-962-2731.
     You can find many questions answered on our website. Check out what's new for 2024 here:  https://www.fepblue.org/open-season/whats-new-2024
     Below is our Open Season Webinar schedule – note we are offering several BlueCross BlueShield-only sessions in addition to the Multi-Carrier ones. We tried to offer a variety of dates and times to meet everyone's needs. These are recorded as well so I can always send one of those out if a live version does not work.  I've included flyers with this webinar schedule information as well. [SideNote: These webinars are in addition to the NARFE-hosted Health Fairs that the multi-carrier representatives will be attending in both Oregon and SW Washington.]
