Own Your Benefits: Cost Savings with Mail Order Prescriptions

Benefit Highlight Information

Avoid going to the pharmacy by having your maintenance medications conveniently mailed to your home by using CVS Pharmacy's Mail Service. Utilizing this service saves you money as a 90 day supply will only cost you two copayments, instead of three.
