FLASH: Enrollment Forms for CVS Caremark Specialty Pharmacy Now Available on Website

New Partnership with CVS Caremark Specialty Pharmacy

Effective May 1, 2013, we have a new specialty pharmacy vendor, CVS Caremark. Specialty medicines must be filled at a CVS Caremark Specialty Pharmacy. Those filled at any other pharmacy after this date will be rejected as not covered.

CVS Caremark Specialty Pharmacy provides medications and personalized pharmacy care management, including:

• Access to an on-call pharmacist 24/7
• Coordination of care with members and their doctors
• Convenient delivery directly to members or their doctor’s office
• Medicine and disease education and counseling
• Online support through CVSCaremarkSpecialtyRx.com, including disease-specific information and interactive areas to submit questions to pharmacists and nurses

Access the enrollment forms available on our website.

Note: Medicare members can still use any in-network specialty pharmacy vendor.

If you have any questions, contact your provider relations specialist or call Specialty Customer Care at 1-800-237-2767, 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday.
