The Choice You Can Count On
At
the May 2 board meeting, the TRS Board of Trustees voted to approve moving forward
with negotiations for the TRS-Care Dental and TRS-Care Vision contracts.
One in 43 Texans already trust TRS to be the health care they can count on. And now, TRS is adding two more reliable plans that can
enhance our retirees' everyday health—TRS-Care Dental and TRS-Care Vision!
These new plans will offer extensive provider networks and benefits to
help you see and smile with confidence as you explore new adventures.
And if you're enrolled in one of our medical plans,
why not keep all your health care in one spot for ease? Make TRS the choice you can count on for all aspects of your well-being.
Through TRS-Care Dental and TRS-Care Vision, you can expect:
-
Easy access to quality care
-
High-value benefits
-
Great customer service
-
Broad provider network
You don't need to be enrolled in a TRS-Care health plan to enroll in the dental or vision benefit plans. However,
you need to be a public-school retiree, or a dependent of a retiree, who is eligible for TRS-Care.
You also don't need to enroll in each –
these are two separate plans. You could choose to enroll in just dental or vision – or both!
We'll mail dental and vision plan applications in late July and early August, with an
open enrollment starting Oct. 1, 2024. Your coverage will start Jan. 1, 2025.
The TRS Board of Trustees will approve benefits at their July meeting. Once approved, we'll share more
specific information about these plans in July. This includes:
-
How to enroll
-
Benefits and networks associated with the plans
-
Premiums
In the meantime, see our
initial frequently asked questions (FAQs) below. These will be expanded as more information becomes available.
