Important Dates and Reminders
*New TRS-Care Medicare Advantage Enrollees*: Participants enrolling in the TRS-Care Medicare plans with a *coverage start date on or after Jan. 1, 2023* must send their Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) to TRS. You may either mail or fax (512-542-6575) the form to TRS, or call us at 1-888-237-6762. If TRS does not get your MBI, TRS will not be able to enroll you, and you risk losing TRS-Care coverage altogether. If your TRS-Care Medicare Advantage coverage began prior to Jan. 1, 2023, you do *not *need to send your MBI to TRS. " "
*Keep your address current with TRS*: If you need to change your address, we need to get written notice with your social security number or TRS Participant ID number, and your signature.
