Out of Country Health Care Coverage Policy

BOARD APPROVED JUNE 25, 2008
Effective upon Board approval.

The following out of country clarification to the Teachers' Retirement Board health plan, also known as the Stirling Plan, was approved by the Board at the meeting on Wednesday, June 25, 2008.

The Teachers’ Retirement health plan will pay for emergency and acute care that occurs while traveling outside of the United States.  The plan does not cover routine care or care for chronic conditions while a person lives outside the United States, even if their stay is for less than one half the year.  The Out of Country benefit may not be used to obtain care that is not available within the United States.
