Weigh Your Options: Understanding Medical Benefits

It’s 2021 and healthcare is a hot topic. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, government employees have been at the frontlines — distributing tests and vaccinations, answering questions about health benefit eligibility and ensuring constituents receive the care they need during these turbulent times. But how can we ensure federal employees are able to access the same level of care they've provided to citizens? After all, healthcare is complicated. Signing up for benefits shouldn’t be. Introducing “Discussions in Federal Healthcare,'' a new podcast from Blue Cross Blue Shield in collaboration with GovExec’s Studio 2G, that aims to educate federal employees on how they can take full advantage of healthcare benefits and services. On this pilot episode, GovExec's James Hanson catches up with Bill Breskin and David Yoder, two experts from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, to discuss the current healthcare landscape.
