Our current benefits options, plan designs and employee contributions are all continuing next year with some enhancements, and you’ll pay the same costs that you do now except for short-term disability (STD) coverage — your STD costs are decreasing a bit. You can find 2022 costs when you enrol at AECOMBenefitsOnline.com, November 1 – 19, 2021.
What’s new
- New telehealth benefit to make life a bit easier — available now! Everyone enrolled in a Sun Life medical plan has access to telehealth services through Lumino Health Virtual Care. Telehealth lets you meet with a health care provider from the comfort of your home, online or over the phone, for a diagnosis, a treatment plan, a prescription or a referral. There is no cost to you for initial primary medical care visits. Follow-up visits and visits with a paramedical practitioner* may have a cost, which will be communicated to you up front and can be paid through the Lumino Health Virtual Care app. Download the app for iPhone or Android or register online now, so you’re all set up when you need it.
- More mental health care coverage starting January 1. We are increasing the maximum amount of mental health coverage you can receive from mental health practitioners (under paramedical category) each year to $1,000 per person in Module B (currently $500) and $1,500 in Module C (currently $700). Log in to your Sun Life account for eligible mental health practitioners.
- New fertility drug coverage starting January 1. All the Sun Life medical plans will cover up to $10,000 in eligible fertility drugs per lifetime (after the deductible in Module A).
