Trust Medical Plan

The Active Employee Plan makes the Trust Medical Plan available to you as an option for medical coverage. If you select this option you will receive your prescription drug benefits through Kroger Prescription Plans and your vision benefits from VSP. You have the option of receiving dental benefits through Kaiser Permanente OR through the Trust Dental Plan.

The cost of coverage through the Trust Medical Plan may be different than similar coverage through the other options offered in the Active Employee Plan. See Plan Options & Rates for the current cost of coverage.

How the Plan works To receive the highest level of coverage, services must be delivered by in-network (PPO) providers.

You can receive services from out-of-network providers--but the plan pays higher benefits when you go to in-network providers.

If there are fewer than 2 preferred provider primary care physicians within a 30 mile radius of your primary residence, medical benefits will be paid at 80% of reasonable and customary covered charges.
