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.

I've shipped a lot of stuff via FedEX, with the default value of $100 up to maybe $20K. I've never found the insured amount to have any bearing on anything that happened in terms of the shipment.
