Medical and Dental

Though the cost of healthcare continues to rise in the U.S. and inflation has raised costs across the country, Sysco’s medical, dental and vision premiums are not increasing next year. That means your paycheck costs for these plans will not change in 2023. The 2023 premiums are available in the Total Rewards Café.

Yes. The prescription drug covered that is included in your Sysco-sponsored medical plan will be provided by CVS, an Aetna preferred carrier. There will be some changes to the prescription drug coverage:

• Sysco will implement the Aetna Value Drug List, which means that certain medications, supplements and products will be available at no cost to you. The Aetna Value Drug List will be available on Aetna.com starting January 1, 2022.
• Maintenance Choice will be a feature of your plan. This is mandatory; after 2 monthly retail refills, the prescription can only be filled in 90-day supplies through a CVS retail location or through Caremark® Mail Service Pharmacy. If any of your prescriptions are impacted during the transition to the Aetna pharmacy network, you will receive notification directly from Aetna. Please keep an eye out for any communications from Aetna/CVS.
• Sysco will also implement the Exclusive Specialty Drug List, which means that certain specialty drugs will be offered at $0 copays. The Exclusive Specialty Drug List is available on Aetna.com for those who enroll in PrudentRx starting January 1, 2022.

Please note: most active prior authorizations will transfer to the Aetna pharmacy plan.

Yes. Everyone who enrolls in a Sysco-sponsored medical plan for 2022 will receive a new medical ID card from Aetna. You can expect to receive your ID card by early January 2022.

The dental plans will be provided by Aetna in 2022. The plans will be the same for 2022 with one enhancement: The Premium Dental plan coverage will now include adult orthodontia benefits, as well as child orthodontia. Previously, it covered children to age 26 but no coverage for adults.
