CVS Specialty solutions are driving better outcomes while addressing
rising costs in the fastest-growing pharmacy segment.
16 CVS Health
For people with complex medical conditions, specialty drugs can literally be lifesavers. With so many
promising new specialty drugs in the pipeline, this market’s annual sales are expected to reach $130 billion
in 2016—and $220 billion just four years after that. As the nation’s largest specialty pharmacy, we’ve
developed solutions that improve patient care while helping to control these soaring costs. For example,
only CVS Specialty has embedded certified rare disease care management nurses from our Accordant
subsidiary into the specialty pharmacy process. This resulted in an objective improvement in clinical
quality and significantly reduced disease-related hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Customers
have embraced Specialty Connect, which gives them the flexibility of picking up their medications at any
CVS Pharmacy instead of waiting for home delivery. This integrated offering has led to significant gains
in adherence. And only CVS Specialty has the tools to manage payor costs for all specialty medications,
including those that are infused or paid under the medical benefit.
CVS Specialty is a
market leader, with nearly
