TRS selects new pharmacy benefits manager

The Teacher Retirement System of Texas Board of Trustees has selected Express Scripts to be the new pharmacy benefits manager for all TRS health plans. The move was approved during last week’s board meeting.

The change for TRS-ActiveCare participants goes into effect Sept. 1, 2023, with the start of the 2023-24 plan year. ESI will begin serving TRS-Care Standard and TRS-Care Medicare participants Jan. 1, 2024. Until then, participants will continue to use CVS Caremark for prescriptions.
