Sysco

With one exception all of the Sysco-sponsored national medical plans have the same prescription coverage through Aetna/CVS.

Participants in the HSA plan must meet the deductible before the plan pays a portion of your costs.

Remember that using generic drugs when possible is the best way to save money on your prescriptions. Ask your doctor if a generic alternative would work for you. Learn more about Brand-Name Drug Requirements in the FAQs.

You can learn more about what Aetna/CVS offers you on the Aetna/CVS website.

Medications Covered at 100%

Sysco participates in programs through Aetna that help you save more on prescription drugs including:

• Medication on the Aetna Value Drug List are covered at 100% by the plan from day one–even if you haven’t met your deductible. These include preventive medications, tobacco cessation products, screening preps, certain vaccines and contraceptives for women.
• Certain specialty drugs on Aetna’s Exclusive Specialty Drug List are covered at $0 copays for those who enroll in PrudentRx. PrudentRx is not for all specialty drugs. There is no cost to join PrudentRx. Members will receive a welcome letter and telephonic outreach from PrudentRx if you qualify. Learn more about PrudentRx here.

How to Fill a Prescription

There are several ways to fill your prescriptions, depending on your needs. Click here to access step-by-step instructions for finding a network pharmacy.

• For short-term medicine needs, such as antibiotics for strep throat or pain relievers for an injury, filling your prescription at a participating local pharmacy is optimal.
• For prescription drugs you take regularly to treat ongoing conditions (such as drugs used to treat high-blood pressure or diabetes), the CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy & CVS Retail pharmacy chains offer the best value.
• For specialty medicines used to treat complex conditions, such as drugs that treat cancer or multiple sclerosis, you must use CVS Specialty, the CVS Caremark specialty pharmacy.
• If you use a pharmacy that’s not covered in the network, you must pay the entire cost of the prescription and then submit a claim for reimbursement. Click here to access step-by-step instructions for finding a network pharmacy.

90-Day Fill Required for Maintenance Medication

Maintenance Choice is a feature of your prescription drug plan that allows you to fill medications you take on a regular basis – for chronic conditions such as, high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma. These medications must be filled in a 90-day supply at a CVS Pharmacy or through CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy™. Either way, the cost is the same.

‍Note: If you fill in a 30-day supply for maintenance medications, or at any other pharmacy, your medications won’t be covered, and you’ll have to pay the entire cost. Learn more about Maintenance Choice.
