As COVID-19 vaccines are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and distributed, we know you may be wondering what coverage will look like under your TRS health plan.
All TRS health plans will cover FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccinations at no cost. This vaccination is part of your preventive health care.
State and federal guidelines determine when different groups of people are eligible to receive the vaccine. We’ve created a resource hub on our website where you can find information about vaccine distribution, access and frequently asked questions.
We recommend reviewing the content carefully and staying in touch with your providers. This is a quickly changing situation.
We’ll update this page as developments are communicated to TRS.
Quick Information to Note
- Texas is currently only administering vaccines to the Phase 1A and Phase 1B.
-
TRS-ActiveCare and TRS-Care Standard participants should bring both their Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas and CVS Caremark ID cards to appointments.
-
TRS-Care Medicare Advantage participants should bring their UnitedHealthcare ID card to appointments.
- There’s a limited supply of vaccines during the initial release. After you identify a local provider or clinic, be sure to call ahead and ask about availability.
Please visit our website for more detailed information.
If you have further questions, we encourage you to visit the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) FAQ page. Since TRS will not administer the vaccine, calling your provider with more specific questions will be the fastest way to receive answers.
If you need help finding a provider in Texas, visit the Texas COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Locations map or call 2-1-1, option 6.
