Benefits enrollment is here

This year, annual enrollment for benefits for the 2024-2025 school has begun and runs through Aug. 16. Make sure you log into the enrollment portal during this time to review current benefits and make any desired changes. Annual Enrollment elections will be effective Sept. 1.

The deadline for negotiations between Baylor Scott & White and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas has been extended to Oct. 1. In the meantime, Dallas ISD team members can continue to access BSW doctors and facilities through Sept. 30, as negotiations continue. 

The two groups are currently in negotiations to come to an agreement in which Baylor Scott & White physicians and providers remain in-network for TRS-ActiveCare Plans. If no agreement is reached, Baylor Scott & White intends to leave the BCBSTX networks. This negotiation affects many BCBSTX health plans—not just TRS-ActiveCare. 

For assistance with enrollment, call the Benefits Department at 972-925-4300 to set up an appointment.  Team members will be available Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. through the end of July and then Monday through Friday for the month of August. We can meet with you over the phone, in-person, or virtually to assist employees with their questions or concerns.

As always, check with your care provider to make sure they are in-network with your TRS-ActiveCare medical plan or you may use the provider search tool at www.bcbstx.com/trsactivecare/doctors-and-hospitals for a complete listing of providers.
