From the CEO – February 2024

The Open Season results are in, and we are happy to announce that AFSPA has experienced significant growth. Over 2,900 new enrollees have joined the Foreign Service Benefit Plan (FSBP), and there have been increases in enrollment in many of our Ancillary Insurance Programs.

CAHPS® Member Satisfaction Survey

The Foreign Service Benefit Plan (FSBP) works with a National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) certified vendor to administer a Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) survey, an annual survey which is used for rating a patient’s health care experiences when navigating the healthcare system.

From the CEO – January 2024

As we step into a new year, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the new members who have chosen to enroll in the Foreign Service Benefit Plan (FSBP), or any of our Ancillary Insurance Programs (AIP). Our FSBP plan offers a wide range of benefits, including medical and prescription drugs, ensuring coverage wherever you are. Our AIP programs provide additional coverage options, such as dental, life, disability, travel insurance, and more.

From the CEO – December 2023

As Open Season is nearing its end, only two more weeks are left to ensure that your 2024 plan meets your family’s needs for the upcoming year. It is recommended not to wait until the last minute to make any necessary changes.

From the CEO – November 2023

With the holiday season fast approaching, many of you are likely busy preparing for the festivities and planning for the upcoming year. It’s worth noting that this month marks the start of Open Season, which is an excellent opportunity to review your benefits and consider how you and your family can make the most of them in 2024.
