NWPA(Northwest Plan Administrators, Inc.) is now under contract with NFFE to provide voluntary group insurance programs to union members, to provide group health insurance for "temporary" classified employees and through an "associate" membership with NFFE, all programs are available to federal employees now!   

Please continue to check our Web site for additional plans to be added. Including more plan choices and additional benefit programs.

Effective October 1, 2005 two new plans from ODS Delta Dental will be available with no waiting periods!

If you terminate your ODS Dental Benefit there will be a 3 year waiting period to get ODS benefits.

        Premeir option B $1500 Dental no Orthodontia, %100 preventative %80 Basic %50 major (PPO)

        Premier option C $1000 Dental with a $1500 Orthodontia rider, %80 preventative %80 basic %50 major(PPO)

        Rates for the new ODS Dental Plans

        If you already have ODS Dental insurance you will need to make a choice between these two plans

    NWPA is developing a group health insurance program on behalf of NFFE for the benefit of "temporary" classified employee members and associate members.  Group Health benefit plans have previously been unavailable.  As with all "group" plans the premium costs(and frequently the benefits themselves) are much more attractive than individual private plans.

How to Enroll

  1. Check the lists of dental providers by following the provided hot links with each plan or by calling the carrier directly. If your dentist or a dentist you would like to use is a panel member, the DHMO or PPO plan may be the most attractive to you.  On the other hand, if your dentist of choice is not on any current plan, but you want protection and coverage now, the indemnity plan (choose any dentist plan) would be the plan to choose.  If a new plan comes on-line later, a member will be afforded the right to switch plans without losing either benefits or going through a "waiting" period, or having to wait until the year end to switch as with health insurance. 
  2. If your concern is with the plan's benefits or cost, please consult a NWPA representative in person or contact us at our address or phone number listed below; we would be happy to review your concerns and make a recommendation.
  3. If you want coverage and protection now and know your choice, print and fill out the plan enrollment form from our web page and direct deposit form.(select print from your web browser) We must receive payment for 3 consecutive pay periods before coverage begins.   Please mail all correspondence to NWPA(address listed at bottom of page).
  4. If there are any problems with the above requirements such as being able to print these forms or with direct deposit please contact us at NWPA.
