SPEAKER: Hi, we're CVS Caremark, and we manage your prescription plan. That means we make sure you have access to affordable medication when and where you need it.
You've probably heard of CVS Pharmacy, MinuteClinic, or CVS HealthHUB. The one thing we have in common is we're all part of the CVS Health family, and we all work together to help you on your path to better health.
Digital Tools
Let's take a minute to explore your new prescription plan and the digital tools you can use to find out if your medication is covered, what it will cost, and where to fill.
Check Drug Cost Coverage
These helpful tools are waiting for you at Caremark.com whenever you need them. To find out if your plan covers your medication, use the Check Drug Cost and Coverage tool. You'll also be able to see and compare any other options your plan covers, like a generic, and what they will cost.
Drug Savings Opportunities
We know that saving money is more important than ever. Our Drug Savings Opportunities tool can help you find savings options personalized just for you. We'll even send an email alert every time a new savings opportunity comes up.
Where You Get Your Medication
Where you get your medication depends on your plan, but you can decide the most convenient way to fill your prescriptions. If prescription delivery is part of your plan, our mail service pharmacy can deliver 90-day supplies of medications you take regularly, and there's no delivery fee.
If you'd rather pick up your prescription, there are plenty of pharmacies to choose from. But to avoid overpaying, make sure you fill at a pharmacy in your plan's network. Use the Find a Pharmacy tool to locate one near you.

The CVS Caremark mobile app is ready to help you quickly refill a prescription, find a network pharmacy, check drug costs, and much more.

SPEAKER: Drug prices can differ based on benefit plans, whether or not deductibles are met, and pharmacy pricing.
Our drug cost and coverage tool makes it easy to see if a drug is covered and what you can expect to pay. To get started, sign in or register for an account at Caremark.com, or with our mobile app.
Use our drug cost and coverage tool to enter the drug name, choose your prescribed amount, and search. Results will show prices for brand name, generics, or therapeutic alternatives covered under your plan. If you don't see a price, it means the drug isn't covered. Your best value is the option that can save you the most money.
You can also check the price difference between having your medications delivered by mail or picking them up at the pharmacy, plus compare costs at different pharmacies in your network.

SPEAKER: Helping you access the medications you need at the lowest possible cost is our priority. To help keep costs low, your prescription plan provides a list of covered medications used to treat most health conditions. This list is known as your covered drug list or drug formulary. It's important to review this list with your doctor, so they can try to prescribe an effective medication that's also covered by your plan.

You may have been notified recently about a change in the medication covered under your plan. Throughout the year, your covered drug list is reviewed and sometimes changes are made. If you're affected by a formulary change, we'll let you know in advance, so you'll have time to discuss your options with your doctor and get a new prescription if you need one.
There are often several listed medications, both brand name and generic, available to treat the same condition. These are clinically appropriate for the condition and cost effective. Once the updates to your covered drug list take effect, you can use our check drug cost tool to see how the cost of your medication may have changed.
There may be some instances where the drug you have been prescribed is not on your plan's formulary and therefore not covered by your insurance. If no covered option is medically appropriate for you, your doctor may be able to request prior authorization. Remember, you should always consult with your doctor about which medication is right for your condition. However, if you wish to continue with a medication that is no longer on your plan's covered drug list, you will need to pay the full cost.
