Potential Changes for TRS-Care Medicare Advantage

​TRS continually focuses on ways to offer comprehensive health care coverage for the best value. We do this while maintaining the long-term stability of the TRS-Care fund.

Recent federal changes to Medicare, along with TRS' diligent health plan management and other factors have generated savings for the TRS-Care Medicare Advantage plans. This provides TRS with a unique chance to adjust premium costs for those participants.

TRS received direction from Texas legislative leadership to use these savings to reduce TRS-Care Medicare Advantage premiums. It would also allow for a limited-time enrollment opportunity for eligible TRS-Care Medicare Advantage​ participants.

As TRS evaluates how to accomplish these goals while maintaining the fund's long-term stability and the TRS Board of Trustees makes its final decisions, TRS will keep our retirees informed every step of the way.
