health care that will drive healthier outcomes for plan
participants and help payors rein in overall health
care costs. It combines traditional PBM points of
contact and face-to-face interaction with our more
than 25,000 retail pharmacists, nurse practitioners,
and physician assistants to help improve adherence.
For some patients, getting counseling from a phar-
macist at one of our CVS Caremark call centers and
receiving prescriptions through mail order works
best. Many others prefer the option of visiting one of
our convenient retail or specialty stores.
Here we invite you to the future of pharmacy
care by following the journey of one CVS Caremark
plan participant, Anna S., a diabetes patient who
begins her therapy at a CVS/pharmacy.

While picking up her prescription,
Anna is counseled by a CVS pharmacist
on the importance of staying on her
medication. She also learns about any
side effects that may result.
Anna keeps her refi lls at retail. At
pickup, her pharmacist recommends
self-glucose monitoring and A1c testing
for an accurate picture of her overall
diabetes control.
