The company would like to announce a new benefit for those of you who participate in the Caremark Prescription plans. For those of you receiving maintenance medication through the CVS Caremark Mail Service, starting January 1, 2009, you will have an alternative as to how you receive your medication. As of January 1, 2009 you will not only be able to receive your long-term medications (in a 90-day supply) through the CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy but at your local CVS/pharmacy as well. Your cost will be the same as if you used the CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy.
As is currently the case, your prescription benefit plan will allow three 30-day fills at a network retail pharmacy. After these three fills you will need 90-day supply prescriptions filled by the CVS Caremark Mail Service OR a local CVS/pharmacy. If you fill your long-term prescriptions at another retail pharmacy after three fills, you will pay a higher copay based on your plan.
If you currently receive your long-term medications from a CVS/pharmacy or the CVS Caremark Mail Service and wish to continue - no action is required. Caremark will contact your doctor and notify you if you are not already on a 90-day prescription.
If you have changed how you receive your long-term medications either by switching to a CVS/pharmacy or the CVS Caremark Mail Service, Caremark will contact you after your last allowable fill before the copay goes up and contact your doctor to get a 90-day prescription to have filled based on your choice of pharmacy.
If you have questions, please call Caremark Customer Care toll-free at 1-866-559-6908.
