How can a small school district get better benefits and lower costs than TRS ActiveCare with over 450,000 members?
Here’s some of the reasons the commercial plan is out performing TRS ActiveCare:
- Hospital benefit reimbursement is based on Medicare benchmarks (Reference Based Pricing). Reimbursement averages half of BCBS “Allowed Charges.”
- Specialty drug risk transfer (Reduces overall Rx spend by 40% while still providing specialty drug access).
- Cash Pricing. Reduces cost to as low as <Medicare rates averaging 60-70% savings off average PPO allowed charges.
- The commercial plan has a two year rate guarantee while the TRS plan doesn’t.
None of this is Rocket Science. It’s simply applying common sense and traditional American business practices to healthcare finance.
