Recent TRS-ActiveCare Changes
In February, TRS Trustees awarded a new health plan administrator contract for TRS-ActiveCare to Aetna and a new pharmacy benefit manager contract for TRS-ActiveCare to CVS Caremark. This followed a competitive procurement process conducted by TRS staff and consultants. More details will be provided to TRS-ActiveCare participants and employers well before new contracts become effective on Sept. 1, 2014. Current and future vendors are cooperating to ensure a smooth transition.
TRS-ActiveCare is a self-funded program, not an insured plan. Rates and benefits are not determined by the vendors administering the program. The 2014-15 plan year rates and benefits will be established by TRS trustees at their June 5-6 meeting based on the claims experience of the plan. There will not be a spring enrollment as in past years. Open enrollment for the 2014-15 plan year will be held in August 2014.
