You may use CVS Caremark’s convenient home delivery option or their 90-day retail pharmacies for your maintenance medication needs.

How to find a network pharmacy.

Welcome to CVS Caremark

 

 

Each year the drug list is reviewed and updated to ensure you have access to safe, clinically effective and low-cost medications. 

Formulary changes happen from time to time when drugs are: recalled from the market; replaced by a new generic drug; or, clinical restrictions are added, including, but not limited to, prior authorization, quantity limits or step therapy.

 

Do you want to see the cost of your prescription under the CDHP plan before you meet your deductible, and price lower cost options?

The Drug Price Comparison Tool links below are available. The default pharmacy will be CVS. There is an option for you to change the pharmacy. If the prescription is a maintenance medication, it will show the 90 day option. 

  • PRE - Deductible - To estimate the cost under the CDHP plan before you meet your deductible.
  • POST- Deductible - To estimate the cost under the CDHP plan before after you have met your deductible.
