Cost of care

As health care costs continue to rise, we are creating tools, services and support that unlock savings for you as a member, patient or customer – both on your phone and right at the pharmacy counter.

Making medication affordable

We make available critical prescription information through our Rx Savings Finder, so that our pharmacists, patients and members can access potential savings. CVS Caremark® partners with clients from health plans, employers, government entities and consultants, working to negotiate lower drug prices for more than 100 million plan members.

Savings through preventative care

We’re driving long-term savings by helping people before they become sick. Preventive care screenings at our HealthHUB locations focus on chronic and acute conditions. Case management for our Aetna infusion members and Accordant patients, and at-home care for Coram infusion patients, all help ensure continuing care at a lower cost.
