PERACare... a Good Choice for Public Employers
PERACare is a health benefits program that PERA employers can join to cover their employees who are Colorado PERA members. Colorado PERA retirees also are eligible for this program. The program provides health care, dental, and vision plans. A distinguishing feature of this program is choice―more choices than many employers are able to offer on their own.
