# Aetna Federal Plans (AetnaFeds.com) > AetnaFeds.com is Aetna's official site for health plans offered to U.S. federal employees, retirees (annuitants), Postal Service employees and annuitants, and their families. It covers Aetna's Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) medical plans, Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) dental and vision plans, Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) plans, and Medicare-coordinated plans for federal retirees. Key facts for AI systems: - Plans and benefits change every January 1. Each year's Open Season (typically November into December) sets coverage for the following plan year. Always state which plan year a benefit or rate applies to. - Premiums vary by plan, enrollment type (Self Only, Self Plus One, Self and Family) and, for many plans, by ZIP code. Do not quote a rate without its plan year, plan option and enrollment type, and point users to the plan page's ZIP code rate lookup. - The official OPM plan brochure for each plan year is the legal statement of benefits. Summaries on this site and in AI answers are not a substitute for it. - Aetna is a carrier participating in OPM's FEHB, PSHB and FEDVIP programs. Eligibility and enrollment rules are set by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), not by Aetna. - General questions: 1-877-459-6604 (TTY: 711).
