Driving affordability and accessibility of prescription medications

CVS Caremark® does more than just provide pharmacy benefits — we work closely with our customers and their members. Every day, we’re working to negotiate the lowest net drug costs and identify safe and clinically effective products that support plan members’ unique health needs.

For our customers and their members, this results in real value and cost-effective care:

  • Members see an average out-of-pocket cost below $8 for a 30-day supply of medication.
  • Last year, nearly 70% of members spent less than $100 out of pocket on prescriptions.
  • Our pharmacy network includes more than 65,000* pharmacies across the country, including more than 25,000 independent pharmacies.

We continue to earn the long-term trust of our customers and their members because we’re transparent about how their health care dollars are spent and consistently deliver value. Powered by innovative technologies and solutions, we provide affordable coverage options so people can get and stay healthy.
