Health Insurance

This link will take you to the ORTA website which has listed the
2006 health care monthly premiums for STRS retirees.
 

     back to top

For Medicare A & B members, Medicare is primary for hospital (Part A) and physician/outpatient services (Part B) with STRS paying secondary.  For the individuals that are Medicare Part B only, STRS is primary for hospital services and Medicare Part B is primary for physician/outpatient services with STRS paying secondary on those services.
 
Also, just to point out, anytime a person is eligible for Medicare and does not enroll, the STRS Ohio benefits are reduced by the amount that Medicare would have paid for the services.

The quickest way to have your prescription refilled is to have your physician's office fax a new prescription directly to our
pharmacy at 1-877-278-0328 or they can call the pharmacy at 1-877-278-0347.  Please make sure your physician's office includes
your name, date of birth and ID number from your insurance card on the faxed information.  Keep in mind that members cannot fax
the prescription.  You must have your physician fax the prescription or it will be invalid.

Of course, you always have the option of mailing your new prescriptions in to the pharmacy if you prefer to the following address:
