Overview
What is Teachers Health Trust (THT)?
Teachers Health Trust is the health plan for all educators and licensed professionals of Clark County School District. Unlike other employers, whose health benefits are through the HR department, we are your source for any questions/concerns related to your health benefits.
How do I manage my health benefits?
As a THT member, you will use the THT member portal for everything regarding your health benefits. It is possible to make elections/requests in HCM, however, those elections/requests are not valid.
What else makes THT different?
Teachers Health Trust is a self-funded plan, meaning more of your dollars go towards benefits.
When do my benefits start?
- Summer New Hires (Hired in July/August): Your health benefits will begin on September 1. (Deductibles reset October 1st).
- All Other New Hires: Your health benefits will begin on the 1st of the following month.
Coming Back from a Leave of Absence (LOA) or for Critical Labor Shortage (CLS)?
Participants who are coming back from a Leave of Absence or for Critical Labor Shortage will need to reenroll in their benefits through the Teachers Health Trust Enrollment Portal the same way a new hire would. Benefits will be effective the first of the month following your “re-hire” date. Those who were on a Family Medical Leave (FMLA) will have no break in coverage and will not need to reenroll.

Enrolling for Benefits as a New Hire / Rehire
Enroll or “Opt Out” within 31 Days of Starting Work
You can enroll or opt out beginning on your first day using the THT enrollment portal. If also enrolling dependents, supporting must also be uploaded within 31 days of your start date. See required documents for dependents.
After 31 days, you will be enrolled by default.
Members who do not enroll or opt out within 31 days of their hire date will be automatically defaulted in the Signature Plan with Dental HMO and VSP Standard. The appropriate premiums will be deducted from your paycheck. Visit the premiums page to view the current rates. After the new hire enrollment period, members will be unable to make changes until the next Open Enrollment Period or if they experience a qualifying life event.
