22878. A health benefit plan offered by the California Association of Highway Patrolmen may rebate funds to participants enrolled in the basic and Medicare health benefit plans sponsored by the association, in order to ensure that participant out-of-pocket costs remain at a reasonable and competitive level as determined by the Board of Trustees of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen Health Benefits Trust. The payments shall be made from the special reserves of the health benefits trust fund. The amount of funds shall be limited to the portion of special reserves for that health benefit plan that is in excess of the amount necessary to fund the risk up to the reinsurance attachment level. Administrative costs incurred by the state for the implementation of this section shall be reimbursed by the health benefits trust from the same funds.
