Healthy choices lead to healthier lives.

Selecting the right medical plan is more than just coverage—it's investing in your overall well-being. ShopRite is empowering you to make healthy choices by providing medical plans that support both your current health needs and your long-term wellness goals. The right plan can improve your quality of life by offering the services and care you need when you need them. From preventive care to treatment for chronic conditions, our medical benefits offer flexibility for every stage of your health journey.

Your well-being is important to you — and it’s important to us. We are committed to providing a flexible, comprehensive benefits package for you and your family.

WELL-BEING PROGRAMS
An important part of your medical plan is improving long-term health and managing the cost for both our associates and ShopRite. That’s why we provide programs and resources that encourage healthy actions at no additional cost to you.

Paid Basis.

LONG-TERM DISABILITY
Benefits that provide a portion of your salary in the event you become disabled and cannot work.

Here's what you need to know for 2025.

NEW DENTAL PROVIDER
Aetna is the new dental provider for 2025. You will receive the same level of care through Aetna with no changes to your plan design. However, it does offer an extensive network which means more cost savings for you.

NEW LIFE INSURANCE PROVIDER
MetLife is the new life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) provider for 2025. Your current Basic and Optional enrollments will be carried over with MetLife.

NEW LONG-TERM DISABILITY PROVIDER
MetLife is the new long-term disability provider for 2025. If you chose an after-tax election during the current plan year, this will carry over automatically.

THE ACO OPTION RETURNS FOR 2025
This is a group of healthcare providers that provide coordinated care to patient populations, including incentives to improve the quality of patient care and health outcomes while controlling costs.

Get Your Annual Physical

Even if you feel perfectly healthy, it’s important to get an annual physical for your overall wellness. A physical is an opportunity to check in with your primary care physician on your health, get tips on living a healthy lifestyle, and discuss prevention and treatment options.

Annual physicals allow your doctor to review any changes that have occurred over the last year and encourage healthy choices and lifestyle. Also, your doctor can help identify risk factors that could lead to future health problems and offer expert advice on how to manage them.

Note: Payment of the $100 incentive for obtaining an age-appropriate physical exam from your physician is not conditioned on you or your spouse providing any genetic information (e.g., family medical history) to your employer or to your employer’s medical plan.

Prescription Drug Benefits

When you enroll in a ShopRite medical plan, you receive prescription drug coverage. Your copays are based on the type of drug and where you purchase your prescription. To lower your costs, request generics or use a ShopRite pharmacy or Spotswood mail order for maintenance medications (for conditions that usually require regular use, such as for high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, and diabetes).

When you use a ShopRite pharmacy or Spotswood mail order for maintenance prescriptions, you’ll get a three month supply for the cost of one!
