Common use of Carrier/Coverage Clause in Contracts

Carrier/Coverage. If the medical and/or dental carrier(s) informs the City of plans to terminate a plan currently in effect, substantially modify the plan resulting in a substantial change in benefits, or if the City offers additional health insurance plan(s), the City shall notify the Union in writing. If the Union demands to bargain in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving notice from the City, the parties shall negotiate over the impact of the plan termination or modification by the carrier(s), or the addition of plan(s) by the City. If such bargaining demand is not provided by the Union, the Union waives its right to bargain over the change or the impact of the change identified in the notice. The parties mutually agree to use the expedited bargaining procedure as set forth in ORS Chapter 243 to resolve any issues concerning health insurance plan changes that meet aforementioned criteria for mid-term bargaining, except that the notice and demand to bargain provisions shall apply as set forth above in this section. However, if the medical and/or dental carrier has not provided the requisite notice for the parties to comply with statute before plan termination, the City shall first seek to extend the current coverage to cover the negotiations and the implementation of an alternate plan.
