Open Enrollment Window
July 12-August 6

Beaumont ISD is continuing to offer two insurance plans. You now have the option to
choose the TRS plan or the Texas Schools Health Benefits Program (TSHBP). This
additional option gives you nationwide coverage and is "co-pay only" (as long as you
stay within network).

Example:
Cost to an employee who has an overnight stay at the hospital for surgery

TRS Active Care:
Surgery Total Cost  =  $10,000
Deductible  $1,200 plus 20% Co-insurance = $1760
Total Paid by BISD Employee = $2960
 
TSHBP Plan:
Surgery Total Cost  =  $10,000
Deductible  $500  (no coinsurance at any time)
Total Paid by BISD Employee = $500
 
We are urging all employees to take the time to use one of the methods posted below to
educate themselves on how the medical plans are going to work this year. We cannot
stress enough that the TRS plans now act like an HMO and employees can only make
an appointment with a specialist if their primary care provider (which you will be required
to elect) approves it. Please see the information below to make an informed decision.
