3. CVS/Caremark:
Maintenance Medications: refill long-term maintenance medications with a 90-day supply or up to your plan’s maximum quantity. Contact your pharmacist to learn how to obtain a 90 day supply, if desired. Under Penn plans you may obtain a 90-day prescription refill benefit for maintenance medications and the option of home delivery from CVS Caremark Mail Service pharmacy or from a local CVS store.
Relaxing Refill Restrictions: CVS Caremark is waiving early refill limits on 30-day prescriptions for maintenance medications at any in-network pharmacy. Relaxing refill-too-soon limitations allows members to fill maintenance medication prescriptions ahead of their normal schedule to ensure an adequate supply of medication is on hand.
Free Home Delivery from CVS Pharmacy: beginning immediately, CVS Pharmacy will waive charges for home delivery of all prescription medications. This is a convenient option to avoid coming to the pharmacy for refills or new prescriptions. This includes mail order and home delivery via your local CVS pharmacy.
