With regard to district court officers and employees whose total salary is
payable by a county, such county shall either provide for insurance
coverage for hospitalization, medical services, surgical services and other
health services at least equal to insurance coverage provided to other
state officers and employees under the state health care benefits program
or, if such district court officers and employees are designated by the
Kansas state employees health care commission under subsection (c) of
K.S.A. 75-6501 as qualified to participate in the state health care benefits
program, shall pay the employer's costs for enrolling such employees under
the state health care benefits program. In the event a county elects the
latter type of coverage, counties shall remit the employer and employee
premiums to the Kansas state employees health care commission in accordance
with the directions of the commission, and counties may adopt the same
type payroll deduction plan for employee premiums as provided in K.S.A.
75-6506. The provisions of K.S.A. 75-6501 to 75-6511, inclusive, shall be
applicable to such employees in the same manner as other persons eligible
to participate in the state health care benefits program.
