IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW!

  • You have 31 days after your start date to enroll in Cleveland ISD benefits. Once you enroll, or If you miss the deadline, you will not be eligible to make changes to your benefits until the next open enrollment period in August, unless you experience a qualified life event.

  • No "Out of Network Coverage" means that IF you wanted to see a doctor that is “out of network”, there would be no coverage provided by the carrier and you would be required to pay the full amount.

  • If you select either the Primary or Primary Plus plan, you are REQUIRED to see the primary care physician that you selected BEFORE seeing a specialist to obtain a referral. If you do not know who your listed primary care physician is, or need to change physicians, please call the 1-800 number on the back of your medical card.

  • Retiring or just have questions regarding your TRS funds?

    Other than medical plans, CISD does not have access to your TRS member contributions or status. In order to check your TRS status, benefit fund withdrawal, retirement date, years of service, etc., you MUST contact TRS.
