Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance
Program (FEDVIP)

• Introduction
• The Federal Employee Dental and Vision Benefits
  Enhancement Act of 2004 requires OPM to establish
  arrangements under which supplemental dental and
  vision benefits will be made available to federal
  employees, retirees, and their dependents.
• The new Federal Employees Dental and Vision
  Insurance Program (FEDVIP) will be available to
  eligible Federal and Postal employees, retirees,
  and their eligible family members on an
  enrollee-pay-all basis. This new Program allows
  dental and vision insurance to be purchased on a
  group basis which means competitive premiums and
  no pre-existing condition limitations. Premiums
  for enrolled Federal and Postal employees will be
  withheld from salary on a pre-tax basis.
• Eligible individuals can enroll in a dental plan
  and/or a vision plan. They may enroll in a plan
  for Self-only, Self plus one, or Self and family
  coverage. Eligible family members include an
  enrollee's spouse and unmarried dependent
  children under the age of 22, or if age 22 or
  older, incapable of self-support. The rules for
  family members' eligibility are the same as they
  are for the FEHB Program.
• Employees must be eligible for the FEHB Program
  in order to be eligible to enroll in FEDVIP. It
  does not matter if they are actually enrolled in
  FEHB - eligibility is the key. Annuitants are
  eligible to enroll in FEDVIP no matter what their
  FEHB status is.
• For questions regarding the Federal Employees
  Dental and Vision Insurance Program, please
  contact the customer service representatives at
