Fedex minimum insurance for special handling

I remember reading the answer to this question before but didn't find it on searching.

What is minimum amount of insurance to purchase for a shipment that makes Fedex take special care of the package? I remember it's some amount $2000 or $5000 something like that. Once someone sent something to me and Fedex called me a couple of times when it was on the way and after it was delivered to make sure it arrived ok. I asked about it and they told me the insurance amount made them take care of it that way.

At $5k and over UPS consider a package 'High Value'

It must be signed for at each handover, and once such a package is given to the driver he must return directly to the hub with it, it isn't allowed to sit on the truck the rest of the day.

All high value packages get marked with a V on all sides.

I don't know if UPS takes other special care in addition.
