On Jan. 1, 2024, Express Scripts will start to administer your TRS-Care pharmacy benefits. They’ll automatically transfer your current prescriptions in most cases, but you can still do some things to make the transition as smooth as possible!<\/p>\n

Use this checklist to be ready:<\/p>\n

TRS-Care Standard and TRS-Care Medicare Rx<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2611 Put your new ID card in your wallet: You’ll get a new pharmacy ID card from Express Scripts. Store it somewhere handy for the next time you go to the pharmacy!<\/p>\n

\u2611 Use the pharmacy locator tool: Use the online pharmacy locator tool to find out if your preferred pharmacies are still in-network (most will be!).<\/p>\n

\u2611 Work with your provider on or after Jan. 1, 2024, to make sure your prior authorizations are approved and in place: In some cases, existing authorizations from your current plan may not carry over. Call Express Scripts Customer Service to find out if your drug requires prior authorization. Contact information can be found below.<\/p>\n

\u2611 Know how mail order works: You could save on medications by using home delivery. Express Scripts will deliver up to 90 days of your long-term medication(s) to your doorstep. To start home delivery, ask your doctor to send an electronic prescription to Express Scripts Pharmacy. To learn more, call Express Scripts Customer Support or visit them online.<\/p>\n

\u2611 Check the new list of covered medications: Express Scripts covers most medications that are currently covered by your plan. You can visit the Express Scripts website for your plan to use a drug cost estimator to see how much you\u2019ll pay for a medication.<\/p>\n

\u2611 Know your Rx plan benefits: If you’re on TRS-Care Standard, you’ll pay 20% of the cost for most medications after meeting your plan’s deductible.<\/p>\n

If you’re on the TRS-Care Medicare Rx plan, understand the difference between copays for a 31-day supply versus a 90-day supply. In most cases, copays for a 90-day supply save you money and are eligible through mail delivery. Learn more at TRS-Care Medicare Rx Home Delivery.<\/p>\n

Remember, your deductible resets every January 1st, so you may see higher costs until your deductible is met for the new plan year.<\/p>\n
