Federal employees with questions regarding their insurance coverage will soon find them answered in a single online location.
The Virtual Benefits Fair, a digital-based exhibit of the insurance options facing federal employees, is set to kick off the first day of open season, Nov. 14.
The "fair" is a single website that offers federal employees the chance to talk to insurance providers and Office of Personnel Management representatives for the Federal Employee Health Benefits program, the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program, Federal Employees Dental/Vision Program, BENEFEDS and Federal Flexible Spending Account Program.
The website — which is administered by LTC Partners, LLC
—
will be set up like a virtual conference, with "exhibit halls" for each of the insurance plans, where providers will offer up information for beneficiaries.
Registered users will also be able to attend chat sessions with benefits representatives from the insurance plans on Nov. 14 and Dec. 7, as well as webcasts, to answer any coverage questions they may have.
The fair will run the length of open season, from Nov. 14 to Dec. 12, and offer users informational videos, a virtual scavenger hunt and trivia-style games to help educate them on their enrollment options.
