Retiree Advantage Plan Enrollment
If you are already retired, enrolled in Medicare Parts A&B and a member of one of the qualifying UnitedHealthcare FEHB plans (eligible enrollment codes AS, JP, L9 , LR, VD, WF, Y8), or PSHB plans (eligible enrollment codes JY, KE), you can elect the UnitedHealthcare Retiree Advantage enhanced level of benefits at any time throughout the year.

Federal retirees should visit retireefehb.opm.com or call 1-888-767-6738 to enroll in a participating FEHB enrollment code. Postal retirees should visit health-benefits.opm.gov/pshb or call 1-844-451-1261 to enroll in a participating PSHB enrollment code. Participating FEHB plan codes include: AS, JP, L9, LR, VD, WF, Y8. Participating PSHB plan codes include: JY, KE. Please note: FEHB HDHP plan codes LS, LU and V4 are not participating plan codes for the Retiree Advantage plan.
