Managing Rising Healthcare Costs: TRS Strategies and a District Perspective

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

Texas districts continue to face rising medical and pharmacy costs that strain budgets and impact employee affordability. TRS will highlight the statewide cost drivers shaping the healthcare landscape and outline key strategies—such as pharmacy management, value-based care, and data-driven decision support—designed to improve outcomes while slowing cost growth. Zapata CISD’s Michelle Martinez will share the district’s real-world experience evaluating TRS-ActiveCare, including why the district explored opting out, what alternative options looked like, and how TRS-ActiveCare’s benefit-administrator support, guidance, and stability ultimately shaped their decision-making. Her perspective offers practical insight into budgeting, employee communication, and navigating annual benefits planning.
