New for 2024, subscribers enrolled in an Aetna CVS Health individual and family plan have up to a $100 annual allowance for over-the-counter CVS Health brand products. Members can also obtain 20% off CVS Health brand items with the barcode on the back of their ID card.

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Oct. 30, 2023 — Aetna®, a CVS Health® company (NYSE: CVS), will now offer its Aetna CVS Health co-branded insurance product, providing affordable access to quality health care for more Americans, on the individual insurance exchange marketplace in select counties in 17 states.  

Enrollment begins November 1 at www.aetnacvshealth.com.  

For January 1, 2024, we are adding Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Ohio and Utah to our existing 12 states (Arizona (Banner Aetna), California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, Nevada, Texas and Virginia).

“Our plans bring together the quality coverage of Aetna, plus the convenience of CVS, all at an affordable price,” said Anand Shukla, Senior Vice President, Individual and Family Plans, Aetna. “Our members can access quality care through Aetna’s network of doctors, hospitals and specialists; affordable care with $0 preventive care, $0 virtual care and $0 MinuteClinic® visits; and the convenience of 24/7 access to virtual care and choice of over 1,000 MinuteClinic locations nationwide.”

 

New benefits for 2024

Over-the-counter items*

Beginning January 1, 2024, subscribers enrolled in an Aetna CVS Health Individual and Family Plan will now have up to a $100 annual allowance, or $25/quarter, for over-the-counter CVS Health® brand products at CVS retail stores and online — from pain relievers and cold medicine to bandages and more.  

Members can conveniently shop for eligible products in-store, online or over the phone. And the member does not have to do anything except be an enrolled member. 

“This unique benefit to our individual and family plans is a critical next step in providing a continuum of care for members,” said Shukla. “Over-the-counter items are an important part of health care. Easier access to and helping with the cost of these items will contribute to improved health outcomes. This is how healthier happens together.” 

More savings with your Aetna CVS Health ID card

Members can obtain 20% off CVS Health brand items at CVS, with the savings barcode on the back of their ID card. Bringing together medical, pharmacy, over-the-counter and store discounts on this ID card is a first for Aetna. 

With the launch of these plans, members will have access to the comprehensive Aetna network of primary care doctors, mental health providers, specialists and hospitals. Plus, convenient and affordable care options are available through telehealth and MinuteClinic and HealthHUB™ locations — removing more barriers to accessing care.
