With CVS Caremark, you’ll have access to more than 7,800 CVS Pharmacy stores nationwide. You’ll also be able to obtain prescriptions from licensed non-CVS pharmacies such as Walgreens, Rite Aid and more.
Register online, and you’ll gain access to CVS resources to help you choose and manage prescriptions, such as Check Drug Costs & Coverage and Pharmacy Locator. You’ll also be able to print out a member ID card.
A maintenance medication is one that’s taken regularly to treat or manage a chronic condition or for long-term therapy. The Maintenance Choice Program provides you with the ability to fill 90-day supply prescriptions of your long-term maintenance medications at lower copays. With lower copays for 90-day-supply fills, you can realize significant savings over time for medications you take on a regular basis to treat or manage a chronic condition.
With Maintenance Choice, you can choose to fill your 90-day supplies at either CVS retail pharmacy locations (including those inside Target locations), or receive them through CVS Mail Service Pharmacy. Note: 90-day supplies of maintenance medications cannot be filled at non-CVS network pharmacies.
The plan allows two (2) grace fills of maintenance medications at a 30- or 34-day supply to be filled at any network pharmacy (includes CVS retail pharmacies and non-CVS network pharmacies such as Walgreens, Rite-Aid and Duane Reade). The two grace fills do not have to be consecutive, and if you are taking more than one medication, the two grace fills apply to each maintenance medication you are taking. After the second 30- or 34-day fill, your maintenance medication(s) will be managed according to Maintenance Choice provisions and will be required to be filled as a 90-day supply at either a CVS Pharmacy or through CVS Mail Service Pharmacy.
You will need to have your doctor submit a new 90-day-supply prescription for your maintenance medication(s) to CVS Pharmacy or the CVS Mail Service Pharmacy accordingly. Keep in mind, if you attempt to fill your maintenance medication(s) after exhausting your two-grace-fill limit without a new 90-day-supply prescription, the plan will deny the charges and you will be responsible for the full cost of the medication.
To fill prescriptions for long-term medications at a CVS Pharmacy:
If you want to fill a prescription for a brand medication when a generic equivalent is available, you will pay the applicable copay, plus the difference in cost between the brand medication and the generic equivalent.
At Publicis Groupe, we are aware of the cost of specialty medications for our employees. That’s why we are collaborating with CVS Caremark and PrudentRx to make sure you pay $0 out-of-pocket for any medications on your Specialty Drug List when you fill at CVS Specialty. Learn more here.
Specialty medications are used for the treatment of complex, chronic conditions, such as hepatitis, hemophilia and cancer. CVS Caremark offers a program for specialty injectable and oral drugs that can provide you with greater convenience, including express delivery, follow-up care calls, expert counseling and superior service. Specialty drug prescriptions can also be filled at CVS retail pharmacies. CVS Pharmacies with a MinuteClinic will also have services that provides education regarding your medications or injectables.
CVS MinuteClinic offers quick and easy access to the care you need if you’re enrolled in a Publicis medical plan option. You’ll receive a discount off standard MinuteClinic fees when you present your CVS ID card at one of more than nearly 1,000 MinuteClinic Centers nationwide. These walk-in medical clinics have on-staff nurse practitioners and physician assistants who specialize in family care (for family members 18 months and older).
The prescription drug Step Therapy program helps ensure that you receive appropriate, safe and cost-effective drug therapy. Step Therapy encourages the use of therapies that should be tried first, before other treatments are covered, based on clinical practice guidelines and cost-effectiveness.
If your doctor prescribes a brand-name drug for the treatment of an ongoing condition, you will be required to try a medically equivalent but lower-cost alternative to the drug first. You’ll be contacted before implementation of Step Therapy with a list of the alternative drugs available. After you review the list, you or your pharmacist may contact your doctor to approve the change. If your doctor does not authorize the switch to the preferred drug, the request will be clinically reviewed and you will be informed of the outcome.
Due to the lack of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for many ingredients included in compounds and the high cost of these compounded medications, they may not be covered by your prescription drug benefits or may require a prior authorization. If the compound ingredients are not covered, you will be responsible for the full cost of those ingredients. In situations where the compound ingredients are covered through prior authorization, you will pay the cost share specified by your prescription benefits.

Employees enrolled in the Medical HSA Plan will see lower costs when they fill prescriptions for preventive drugs that are included in a new list managed by CVS Caremark. The new list includes select prescriptions that help prevent chronic health conditions when taken regularly. Employees who use medications on the Preventive Drug List will be responsible for only the copay or coinsurance for these medications, even if they have not satisfied their annual deductible.
Note: You may be required to use mail-order services for any maintenance medications you take to prevent chronic conditions.
The Standard and Advanced Control Specialty Formularies are in place to ensure access to clinically appropriate and cost-effective drug therapies. CVS Caremark continually reviews drugs on the formularies and will either add products that have demonstrated enhanced clinical efficacy (and/or provide more convenient dosage forms) or remove products that have less convenient dosages, may have more side effects or may cost more when compared with available options on the CVS Caremark Drug List. If a medication you are taking is affected by a change to the formulary, you will be contacted by CVS Caremark.
Find drugs on the formulary and see your prescription costs by logging in to your member account at CVS Caremark.
