CVS Caremark® Mail Service Pharmacy

For medications you fill regularly

For medications you fill regularly

Your plan offers a long-term supply (up to a 90-day or 100-day prescription, depending upon your plan), at select retail pharmacies and mail order. Please refer to your plan benefit information for more details. This may be a great option if you take medications regularly.

 

You may find it more convenient to fill your prescription through preferred mail order.

Filling your prescriptions with a long-term supply means you’ll spend less time getting refills. And it may help you avoid running out of your medication.

 

Federal or state limitations may apply.
