If any discrepancy exists between this booklet and the official documents, the official documents SPD will prevail.

A specialist is any physician other than family practitioner, internist, OB/GYN or pediatrician. *Illustrates benefits when in-network providers are used. For some plans non-network benefits are also available; there is no coverage for non-network benefits under the ActiveCare Select or ActiveCare Select Whole Health Plan; see Enrollment Guide for more information. Non-contracting providers may bill for amounts exceeding the allowable amount for covered services. Participants will be responsible for this balance bill amount, which maybe considerable. **If the patient obtains a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, the patient will be responsible for the generic copayment plus the cost difference between the brand-name drug and the generic drug.

2016 – 2017 TRS-ActiveCare Plan Highlights

Note: Covered services under this benefit must be billed by the provider as “preventive care.” If you receive preventive services from a non-network provider, you will be responsible for any applicable deductible and coinsurance under the ActiveCare 1-HD and ActiveCare 2. Non-network preventive care is not paid at 100%. There is no coverage for non-network services under the ActiveCare Select plan or ActiveCare Select Whole Health.

TRS-ActiveCare is administered by Aetna Life Insurance Company. Aetna provides claims payment services only and does not assume any financial risk or obligation with respect to claims. Prescription drug benefits are administered by Caremark.

Some of the new and exciting changes effective September 1, 2016:

ActiveCare 1-HD Enhanced Generic Preventive Drug Coverage

Effective September 1, 2016, certain generic preventive drugs are available at no

cost to participants enrolled in the ActiveCare 1-HD plan. The deductible and

coinsurance do not apply to these generic medications. The list of preventive generic

medications that are covered at no cost to participants enrolled in the ActiveCare 1-

HD plan is available on Aetna’s website at www.trsactivecareaetna.com/coverage.

Please know this list is maintained by Caremark based upon interpretation of Internal

Revenue Service regulations and may change from time to time.

ActiveCare 1-HD Out-of-Pocket Maximum

The ActiveCare 1-HD out-of-pocket maximum will work the same as the maximum in the other plan options. That is, it will apply to each covered person individually, up to the maximum per family. The individual out-of-pocket maximum only includes covered expenses incurred by that individual. After each covered person meets his or her individual out-of-pocket maximum, the plan pays 100 percent of the benefits for that person.

Part-time to Full-time Employee Enrollment If a current employee transitions into full-time status (e.g., from below 10 hours per week into full-time status or from part-time status into full-time status) during the plan year, the employee will have a 31-day opportunity to enroll in TRS-ActiveCare.
