Finding Care in the U.S.

FSBP offers both in-network and out-of-network benefits in the United States, with over one million in-network providers to choose from. Using in-network providers in the 50 United States (and Guam) saves you money and simplifies the claim filing process.

FSBP works closely with Express Scripts (ESI) to provide with quality and affordable pharmacy benefits. Members have convenient access to a network of retail pharmacies for up to a 30-day supply of medications. Members have access to ESI’s participating Smart90® retail network pharmacies or home delivery for up to a 90-day supply of non-specialty maintenance medications.

If your provider is in-network, generally, your provider will bill us with the appropriate information. If we need more information, we will contact your provider or you directly.

If your provider is out-of-network or overseas and is not one of our Direct Billing Partner, you should obtain a fully itemized bill prepared by the provider. We encourage you to submit your claim electronically via the AFSPA Member Portal for the quickest processing.

Finding Care Overseas

All overseas providers are treated as in-network.  FSBP has direct billing relationships with over 200 health care providers across the world. These arrangements exist to simplify your care. By using these providers when available, you avoid prepaying the bill.

I am satisfied with the service FSBP provides and their claim handling procedures. I have dealt with other carriers before, and thus far, FSBP is the best that I have worked with. In my opinion, FSBP is the best for overseas members.

I was already a big fan of FSBP but my HBO's perseverance in getting my case handled has made me an even more loyal member! It is the best customer service I have ever had! I am deeply and sincerely grateful.
