Medicare Supplemental Health Insurance

Plan Changes Regarding Prescriptions

The Teachers’ Retirement Board (TRB) will be changing Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBM) with a target date of February 1, 2010.  Your TRB Medco prescription card will no longer be valid after the new PBM contract is in effect.  The PBM will be selected in November, 2009, as we are currently conducting interviews.  The deductible for the calendar year 2009 will be extended through January 31, 2010.  February 1, 2010 your deductible will be reset back to the full annual deductible of $250 and will run through December 31, 2010.

If you are a current member of the Teachers’ Retirement Board Medicare Supplemental Health Insurance Plan, expect a member orientation package and a prescription card from the new PBM in your US postal mail box in January of 2010. 

If you joined the plan during calendar year 2009 and have not met your deductible by February 1, 2010, you will be required to meet a new deductible beginning on that date. 

Additional updates will be posted to this website as we receive them.
