8 Quick Steps to Using Your Sysco Benefits

You’re new to using United States benefits. Here are a few quick steps that will get you started with your new Aetna plan.

Step 1: Look out for your Member ID Card

Your Member ID Card will be sent through the mail to your home address on file. Keep your Member ID Card with you at all times, so you have it when you need it. See page 2 for a sample of what your member ID card will look like.

Step 2: Sign up for online access

With Health Hub, you can find care, access your plan documents and use tools to help you manage your benefits. You can find detailed registration instructions here. Also take a moment to review these member registration instructions.

1. Go to Aetna.com and select “Login”
2. Click on “Register” under the “Log in” section
3. Select “Aetna International Plan Member”
4. Fill in your name, date of birth and Member ID number, which can be found on your Member ID Card

Step 3: Download the mobile app

When you’re in the United States, the Aetna Health App will help you find doctors, hospitals, urgent care centers and walk-in clinics; through the app, you can also estimate costs, track claims and access your Member ID Card. You can view instructions here.

The Aetna mobile app is free to download. Search “Aetna Health App” in the App Store or Google Play store. If you haven’t already registered for Health Hub, you’ll need to do that before you can use the Aetna Health App. When you’re outside the United States, use the International Mobile Assistant.

Step 4: Terms to know

Insurance teams can be confusing, especially when you’re new to U.S. benefits. See the attached guide for important terms like coinsurance, copays, deductible, EOB and more.

Step 5: Choosing the right care in the United States

As you navigate a new health care system, you’ll need to know how to access care when you need it. In the U.S., you will have a few different care provider options, and you’ll want to choose the right option depending on what kind of care you need. This guide will help you get care when you need it.

Step 6: How to submit claims

If you choose a doctor in our direct settlement in the U.S., you can usually access care without having to submit a claim. But if you go outside the network for care, you may need to submit a claim. See the attached guide to learn when you will need to submit claims and how to do it.

Step 7: Discover ways to reach your best health

Through your coverage, you have access to a Care and Response Excellence (CARE) team that supports everything from clinical pre-certification and pre-trip planning to acute and chronic care management, health assessments and Teladoc, which offers virtual care. You can find more information here.

Step 8: Call if you have questions

If you have questions about using your Aetna benefits, your medical care or health status, or the services that Aetna offers, call the Aetna Member Service Center. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you have questions about U.S. regulations, your time off or other Sysco systems, call the Sysco Benefits Center on 800-55-SYSCO, Monday – Friday, 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. CT.

Getting Care in the United States

In the United States, you have several options getting care. Where you go for care will depend on your illness and how urgently you need care. How much you pay will depend on the type of facility you go to.
