It is the policy of the Legislature that benefits provided by a health benefit plan be integrated with the benefits provided by federal or state plans for health care services for the aged in which there is federal or state financial participation. The board shall adopt rules and regulations necessary to implement this section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, those rules and regulations may establish exclusions and limitations with respect to benefits, different rates within health benefit plans for employees or annuitants eligible for benefits under other plans, or enrollment of those employees or annuitants in separate plans.
