(a) The monthly contribution of each eligible employee for health benefit plan coverage under this act shall be the total cost per month of the benefit coverage afforded under the plan or plans, for which the employee exercises the option, including the administrative expenses therefor less the portion thereof contributed by the employer. An employee may enroll in more than one option at a time so long as such options do not offer overlapping services.
