Common use of HMO Coverage Clause in Contracts

HMO Coverage. (a) The employer agrees to provide State approved HMO's (Univera, Independent Health, and Community Blue I Plan) to eligible employees at a contribution rate not to exceed that provided for the basic health insurance plan noted in 13.1 above. (b) The employee's share of any HMO coverage selected shall be paid on a payroll deduction basis. (c) It is understood that should the health insurance carrier unilaterally eliminate or modify the plan, the College will provide a comparable (meaning as close as possible) plan. It is understood that the College will meet with the ESPA to determine a comparable resolution. The intent of this language is to ensure that the College will meet with the ESPA to discuss any unilaterally changed benefit by the HMO so that the College cannot arbitrarily determine the change.
