How to price a medication on CVS Caremark?


Editorial team Published on

You can check precise prescription prices and coverage by signing in to the CVS Caremark Drug Cost & Coverage Tool.

How Pricing Works

  • Plan Specifics: Your copay or coinsurance depends entirely on your specific employer or health plan tier, deductible status, and whether the drug is generic or brand-name.
  • Mail Service vs. Retail: 90-day supplies through CVS Caremark Home mail delivery often feature lower copays and free standard shipping. Short-term medications are best filled at local in-network retail pharmacies.
  • Caremark Cost Saver: Eligible members automatically get access to lower discount pricing (powered by GoodRx) on generic medications at the retail pharmacy counter using their standard insurance card.
