Texas Teacher Retirement Medicare
If you are a Texas teacher, you are likely familiar with TRS-Care, the self-funded program established in 1985. TRS stands for the Teacher Retirement System.
Medicare is a health insurance program created by the United States Government to subsidize healthcare services to people that have reached the age of 65 who didn’t have health insurance coverage. Medicare is overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Services (CMS), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Medicare Advantage (MA) is also referred to as Medicare Part C. It is part of the Medicare program offered to disabled adults and senior citizens who qualify. Private insurance firms offer Medicare Advantage. This plan usually includes the medical coverage Part A, B, and D that Medicare offers, except for hospice care.
There are ten Medicare Supplement plans available (identified by letters A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, and N), but some plans are no longer available to new enrollees. Medigap plans are standardized, so all of the same letters offer the same basic coverage irrespective of the insurance company you opt with. However, they offer different premiums or costs.
Health insurance keeps medical costs from becoming insurmountable. There are many sources to obtain coverage from, with each having their own guidelines and criteria for eligibility. Different health insurance policies provide certain levels of coverage, so when you are considering a health insurance plan, it’s important to select one that meets your financial and medical needs.
