Healthcare agreement to cut Suffolk costs by over $54M in 2027
Suffolk County has agreed on a new healthcare plan with employee unions, resulting in increased costs for some employees and retirees, while generating over $54 million in savings in 2027. Retirees hired in 2013 or later will no longer contribute to premiums, and the county will shift prescription drug management to CVS for better savings. Changes also include higher co-pays for GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and reduced coverage for out-of-network care, with measures aimed at controlling costs while maintaining comprehensive benefits.
