Specialty Medications Short-Term Supply of a Maintenance Medication at Retail Location (up to a 31-day supply)
What is a maintenance medication? Maintenance drugs are prescriptions commonly used to treat conditions that are considered chronic or long-term. These conditions usually require regular, daily use of medicines. Examples of maintenance drugs are those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and diabetes.
When does the convenience fee apply? For example, if you are covered under TRS-ActiveCare Select, the first time you fill a 31-day supply of a generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy you will pay $20, then you will pay $35 each month that you fill a 31-day supply of that generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy. A 90-day supply of that same generic maintenance medication would cost $45, and you would save $225 over the year by filling a 90-day supply.

To determine this cost, ask your Benefits Administrator for your monthly cost (this is the amount you will owe each month after your employer contributes to your coverage).

A specialist is any physician other than family practitioner, internist, OB/GYN or pediatrician. *Illustrates benefits when in-network providers are used. For some plans non-network benefits are also available; there is no coverage for non-network benefits under the ActiveCare Select or ActiveCare Select Whole Health Plan; see Enrollment Guide for more information. Non-contracting providers may bill for amounts exceeding the allowable amount for covered services. Participants will be responsible for this balance bill amount, which maybe considerable. **For ActiveCare 1-HD, certain generic preventive drugs are covered at 100%. Participants do not have to meet the deductible ($2,500 - individual, $5,000 - family) and they pay nothing out of pocket for these drugs. The list of drugs is on the TRS-ActiveCare website. ***If a participant obtains a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, they are responsible for the generic copay plus the cost difference between the brand-name drug and the generic drug. 15 ****Participants can fill 32-day to 90-day supply through mail order.

GC13 Limited Benefit Group Cancer Indemnity Insurance Eligibility
You and your Eligible Dependents are eligible to be insured under the Certificate if you and your Eligible Dependents meet APL’s underwriting rules and you are Actively at Work and qualify for coverage as defined in the Master Application.
Limitations & Exclusions
No benefits will be paid for care or treatment received outside the territorial limits of the United States, treatment by any program engaged in research that does not meet the definition of Experimental Treatment or losses or medical expenses incurred prior to the Covered Person’s Effective Date regardless of when Cancer was diagnosed.
Only Loss for Cancer
The Policy/Certificate pays only for loss resulting from definitive Cancer treatment including direct extension, metastatic spread or recurrence. Proof must be submitted to support each claim. The Policy/Certificate also covers other conditions or diseases directly caused by Cancer or the treatment of Cancer. The Policy/Certificate does not cover any other disease, sickness or incapacity which existed prior to the diagnosis of Cancer, even though after contracting Cancer it may have been complicated, aggravated or affected by Cancer or the treatment of Cancer.
Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion
No benefits are payable for any loss incurred during the Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion Period following the Covered Person’s Effective Date as the result of a Pre-Existing Condition. Pre-Existing Conditions specifically named or described as excluded in any part of the Policy/Certificate are never covered. If any change to coverage after the Certificate Effective Date results in an increase or addition to coverage, the Time Limit on Certain Defenses and Pre-Existing Condition Limitation for such increase will be based on the effective date of such increase.
Waiting Period
The Policy/Certificate contains a Waiting Period during which no benefits will be paid. If any Covered Person has a Specified Disease diagnosed before the end of the Waiting Period immediately following the Covered Person’s Effective Date, coverage for that person will apply only to loss that is incurred after one year from the Covered Person’s Effective Date. If any Covered Person is diagnosed as having a Specified Disease during the Waiting Period immediately following the Covered Person’s Effective Date, the Insured may elect to void the Certificate from the beginning and receive a full refund of premium. If the Policy/Certificate replaced Specified Disease Cancer coverage from another company that terminated within 30 days of the Certificate Effective Date, the Waiting Period will be waived for those Covered Persons that were covered under the prior coverage. However, the Pre-Existing Condition Limitation will still apply.
Termination of Certificate

Individual Life The Family Protection Plan: Term Life Insurance with Terminal Illness Coverage to Age 100 Nearly 85% of Americans say most people need life insurance; unfortunately only 62% have coverage and a staggering 33% say they don’t have enough life insurance, including one-fourth who already have life insurance coverage.** Nobody wants to be a statistic - especially during a period of grief. That’s why 5Star Life Insurance Company developed its FPP policy - to ensure you and your loved ones are covered during a period of loss.
Affordability - With several options to choose from, select the coverage that best meets the needs of your family. Terminal Illness - This plan pays the insured 30% (25% in Connecticut and Michigan) of the policy coverage amount in a lump sum upon the occurrence of a terminal condition that will result in a limited life span of less than 12 months.
Portability - You and your family continue coverage with no loss of benefits or increase in cost should you terminate employment after the first premium is paid. If this happens, we can simply bill you directly. Coverage can never be cancelled by the insurance company or your employer unless you stop paying premiums.
DID YOU KNOW? Protecting your financial well being is easier than you think. It’s like trading in a daily latte for peace of mind.
$4.30 per day to start your morning with a $1.75
gourmet coffee OR per day to enrich your employee benefits package
It’s less expensive than you think.
Family Protection - Individual policies can be purchased on the employee, their spouse, children and grandchildren (ages 15 days to age 24).
