In addition to the High Option offered in the past two years, a new Standard Option will be offered by Calvo\u2019s SelectCare for the 2015 calendar year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very excited to offer a second option to the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) program [in] Guam and the CNMI, and enhance the benefits and services that are provided to the employees and annuitants. During the past couple of years, we introduced new benefits and services to the federal employees and annuitants and this second option will only serve to augment the options available to them,\u201d said Frank Campillo, Health Plan Administrator.<\/p>\n<p>The Calvo\u2019s SelectCare Health Plans are underwritten by Tokio Marine Pacific Insurance Limited, a Guam domestic insurer, and administered by Calvo\u2019s Insurance Underwriters. TMPI is the only health insurer on Guam that is rated A+ by AM Best, and Calvo\u2019s Insurance just celebrated 75 years of doing business in Guam and Micronesia. <\/p>\n<p>This will be the third year that Calvo\u2019s SelectCare is approved to offer health insurance benefits to the FEHB program in Guam and the CNMI, and the first time to offer two options to this group.<\/p>\n<p>Frank Campillo added: \u201cIn addition to the wellness initiatives introduced in the prior year, SelectCare is adding a new wellness reward program available on both options that will be offered in 2015. We look forward to providing additional information on the options available to the FEHB members this year and further expand on our benefits and services during the upcoming open enrollment season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FEHB members are able to choose from either of the two options during the open enrollment season that starts on Nov. 10. <\/p>\n<p>Calvo\u2019s SelectCare provides health insurance benefits to the Government of Guam, commercial groups on Guam, the CNMI, and Palau, and the FEHB program. <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAGATNA, Guam\u2014The U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which approves health plans and administers benefits for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[56,26,51,55],"class_list":["post-183081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news","tag-business-3","tag-cnmi","tag-guam","tag-health-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183081\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
