CVS Health
Reduce costs, not care. With U.S. health care and prescription drug spending
on the rise, CVS/caremark offers comprehensive solutions that help clients manage this trend without
sacrificing patient care. With one large health plan client, our entire enterprise is involved and collaborating
with its patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model. At CVS/pharmacy, we provide face-to-face
adherence counseling and provide information directly into the patient’s electronic health record at the
PCMH. CVS/minuteclinic helps providers by combining high-quality care with affordable pricing across a
range of services that include acute care, smoking cessation counseling, and support for chronic conditions
such as diabetes. CVS/caremark provides comprehensive medication reviews for patients identified as
vulnerable and offers recommendations on ways to assist them such as simplifying their medication
regimen or providing multi-dose packaging. Our Specialty Care teams at CVS/specialty, which include
rare disease management nurses, function as extensions of the clinical team for patients with complex
conditions. CVS Health is uniquely able to support and deliver value to plans, providers, and patients who
work within these models by creating innovative solutions that leverage all of our enterprise assets.
“ We have more than 3 million members and one of the largest
patient-centered medical homes in the country,” explains
the CEO of a leading U.S. health plan. “We are very excited
about finding innovative ways to help our clients and mem-
bers lower their costs and improve quality. Collaboration with
CVS Health has been helping us do just that. We’ve been
focused on integrating CVS Health pharmacists and nurses
into our medical home model. That will enhance coordination
of care and quality. As for costs, with this relationship, we’ve
come to see pharmacy as a key area to drive savings and help
control overall health spending. We’re at the beginning stages
of health reform, but we’re making real strides to achieve its
goals with CVS Health.”
