The PERS Gold health plan offers numerous health and wellness programs to help you stay on top of your
health while saving money!

CalPERS offers several health plans to choose from every year. PERS Gold is the lowest premium plan available
to all County employees while still offering a strong network, low office copays, and an affordable coinsurance.
The PERS Gold plan was designed to keep you more engaged in your healthcare by encouraging you to
participate in more health and wellness programs.

Health Credits
The plan provides you and your enrolled spouse with $100 credit towards your deductible for each eligible
program you complete. For example, if your PERS Gold family plan coverage consists of you, your spouse, and
your children, your annual deductible will start at $2,000. If both, you and your spouse complete each of the
wellness and health programs listed below, you will each receive up to $500 in credits which would bring
down your family’s annual deductible to $1,000. You may choose to complete all the credits, or you may pick
and choose which credits to complete.
