PERS Medical and Prescription Drug Benefits. The District will provide group medical and prescription drug benefits, as provided below, through the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS). The PERS rules, regulations and plan documents will control on all issues concerning benefits, including the types and levels of benefits offered and eligibility for those benefits. The Union acknowledges that it understands these benefits may not equate to benefits previously available to employees and retirees through the various optional medical plans and the prescription drug plan. Because coverage will be provided through PERS, the District and the Union understand that PERS may terminate or change covered expenses, benefit payments and co- payments on covered benefits, deductibles, lifetime and/or annual maximums and may implement various cost control features. Except for Survivor Benefits, as provided for in Section 10.12, the Union waives the right to any group medical or prescription drug benefit granted expressly or impliedly under others of this Agreement, or by any other agreement between the parties or by any District guideline, policy or practice if that benefit is not offered through the PERS medical plan.
