The Mail Service Drug Program is designed for prescriptions which are taken on a long-term basis and allows up to a 90 day supply of medication to be obtained at a mail service pharmacy. Coverage in one of the KTRS medical plan is through the retiree. If the spouse is not covered by the KTRS medical plan at the time of the retiree's death, the spouse will have 30 days from the date of death to elect coverage. Insurance will become effective the first day of the month following your effective retirement date. If you waive coverage in one of the KTRS medical programs at the time of retirement, you may only enroll during an open enrollment period or if you experience a qualifying event that would allow you to enroll outside the open enrollment period.
Open enrollment occurs once a year.
It is the responsibility of the retiree to prove eligibility. If the cost of coverage is more than your supplement, the difference will be deducted from your annuity. To KTRS Contact KTRS Kentucky Home Page View KY by Org. Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System 479 Versailles Rd.
