Section 3. How You Get Care
• Transitional care

Specialty care: You may continue seeing your specialist and receiving any PPO benefits for up to 90 days if you are undergoing treatment for a chronic or disabling condition and you lose access to your specialist because:
 
  • we drop out of the Postal Service Health Benefits (PSHB) Program and you enroll in another PSHB Plan, or
     
  • we terminate our contract with your specialist for reasons other than for cause,

Contact us at the number on the back of your ID card or, if we drop out of the Program, contact your new plan.

If you are pregnant and you lose access to your specialist based on the above circumstances, you can continue to see your specialist and your Preferred benefits will continue until the end of your postpartum care, even if it is beyond the 90 days.

Note: If you lose access to your specialist because you changed your carrier or plan option enrollment, contact your new plan.
