Section 1.  How This Plan Works
 
This Plan is a fee-for-service (FFS) plan. You can choose your own physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. We reimburse you or your provider for your covered services, usually based on a percentage of the amount we allow. The type and extent of covered services, and the amount we allow, may be different from other plans. Read brochures carefully.

OPM requires that FEHB plans be accredited to validate that Plan operations and/or care management meet nationally recognized standards. The local Plans and vendors that support the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan hold accreditation from National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and/or URAC.
