The side-by-side comparison of the three medical plans is available on the Benefits website.

Please be advised that the TRS-ActiveCare Select plan will use a different Aetna provider network and function a little differently than the other two plans. For the San Antonio/Bexar County area, the Aetna network for the ActiveCare Select plan is “Baptist Health System & Health Texas Medical Group”. Participants in ActiveCare Select must use providers in this network for plan benefits. There are no out-of-network benefits, except in the event of a medical emergency as defined by the plan.


As a reminder, TRS-ActiveCare 1-HD and ActiveCare 2 will use the “Aetna Open Access Choice POS II” network which is much larger. These two plans also have non-network benefits available.

You can search for Aetna network providers on the website listed below. Please carefully read the instructions provided on the website to choose the correct network for your search. If you have questions about TRS-ActiveCare coverage you can contact the Aetna/Caremark TRS-ActiveCare Customer Service team at the number listed below.
