It’s time to get familiar with your 2020-21 TRS-ActiveCare plans administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX). Enrollment dates may vary depending on your district. As you get ready for Annual Enrollment, we’re here to help you prepare.

Two new resources, the Annual Enrollment Guide and the interactive Annual Enrollment Video, have detailed information about your coverage options.

Important features of this year’s plans include:

  • With the two new statewide physician-directed plans, you’ll choose a Primary Care Provider (PCP).
  • All plans offer preventive care at no cost.
  • Covered individuals can meet their deductibles and get benefits before the family meets its deductible.
  • All four plans offer TRS Virtual Health as well as wellness benefits through Well onTarget®.

TRS-ActiveCare Plans for 2020-21.

TRS-ActiveCare Primary (NEW): This plan has the lowest premium and low copays for doctor visits before you meet your deductibles. It also has a robust statewide provider network so you can choose a PCP to guide your health care and refer you to specialists as needed. This plan does not have out-of-network coverage.

TRS-ActiveCare Primary+ (NEW): This plan is a simpler version of TRS-ActiveCare Select, with a monthly premium for families with children that’s 8% less than last year’s (before your district’s contribution). This physician-directed plan offers lower deductibles, less-expensive copays for many services and drugs, and a statewide provider network. This plan does not have out-of-network coverage.

TRS-ActiveCare HD: This high-deductible plan is similar to the current TRS-ActiveCare 1-HD plan. You can choose your doctors, including specialists, from BCBSTX’s broad nationwide network, without referrals from a PCP. This plan offers out-of-network coverage.

TRS-ActiveCare 2: Only current enrollees can stay in this plan. If you have this plan and wish to continue with it, you can see what has changed this year here.

The Well onTarget program is offered to you as a part of your employer-sponsored benefits. Participation in the Well onTarget program, including the completion of a Health Assessment, is voluntary and you are not required to participate.
