Group Medical Coverage. For officers covered by this Agreement, group medical coverage is available from a plan selected by the City Manager, currently the State of Illinois Central Management Services (CMS). Four plans, which provide certain basic benefits and comprehensive major medical benefits to age sixty- five (65) will be made available to permanent full-time officers and their dependents and retired employees and their dependents. Plans which provide benefits supplemental to Parts A and B of Medicare are available to the aforementioned persons upon the attainment of age sixty-five (65). These plans of medical coverage available to the officers and their dependents, whether the officer is an active full-time employee or a retired employee, are dictated by the age of the persons involved. Continuation of medical benefits will be offered at group rates to certain eligible employees and beneficiaries whose coverage would otherwise have terminated. Former employees and beneficiaries will pay the premium and must notify the City of their intention to continue the coverage within sixty (60) days beginning on the date that coverage would have terminated under the group health plan. Details of these benefits are further explained in the Employee Health Plan summary plan document. Officers who have been placed on temporary or permanent disability by the Police Pension Fund (including pregnancy or off duty injury leave in excess of one hundred eighty three (183) days) may remain on the City’s group medical plan at the officer’s cost until age sixty-five (65) except as specified in Section 18.3A.

If the Executive elects such coverage, Executive’s share of any group medical and dental premiums for the twenty-four (24) or twelve (12) month period, as applicable, after termination will be at the then-prevailing active employee rate, and the Company shall waive its right to collect the difference between the Executive’s COBRA premium and the then-prevailing active employee rate during such period.

The Executive agrees and understands that his rights under Code Section 4980B, which sets forth certain COBRA continuation coverage requirements, will run concurrently with the period of coverage under this Section 2.3.1. Following the twenty-four (24) or twelve (12) month period, as applicable, of coverage under this Section 2.3.1, Executive may continue medical and dental coverage for any remaining COBRA period only by paying the full applicable COBRA premiums.
