  • Humana Medicare Advantage Plan 

    The ERS Board of Trustees approved the Humana Medicare Advantage Plan as a new health insurance plan for retirees, survivors, and their dependents who are covered by Medicare effective January 1, 2012.

    Humana Medicare Advantage replaces both original Medicare and HealthSelect as your primary and secondary coverage. As with all GBP coverage, you must continue to pay for Medicare Part B premiums; however, you pay less for dependent premiums and the plan has no yearly deductible – it even covers the Medicare deductible. Humana Medicare Advantage also offers additional benefits, such as gym memberships and discounted health and wellness services.

    As a member of the Humana Medicare Advantage plan, you are part of the HealthSelectSM of Texas prescription drug program, managed by Caremark.
