MAINTENANCE MEDICATIONS
If you are taking a maintenance medication (three months or more), you are allowed two 30-day fills at a retail pharmacy. After the first two fills, to avoid paying the entire cost of the medication, you will be required to obtain your medication in 90-day supplies, using one of the following two options:
- Delivery with CVS Mail Service
- Ask your doctor to send an electronic prescription to CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy. This is the easiest way to get started – you can expect to get your medication in 7-10 business days.
- Sign in or register for an account at caremark.com, and request that CVS Caremark contact your doctor and get the process started for you. Once we reach your doctor and receive approval, it will take 7-10 business days for your medication to be delivered.
- Local Pick-up at any CVS, Longs, or Navarro Pharmacy
- Obtain a 90-day prescription for your maintenance medication from your doctor.
- Fill your 90-day prescription in person at any CVS, Longs or Navarro pharmacy.
For questions about the program, please call (855) 271-6601 or visit caremark.com.
For more information on maintenance medications, please refer the March 2025 Health Plan Summary Plan Description.
NON-NETWORK PHARMACIES
You may purchase your medication at a non-network pharmacy, but you will have higher costs and will have to file a claim with CVS Caremark for reimbursement.
