The Pennsylvania Employees Benefit Trust Fund announced that CVS Caremark Corporation was awarded a three-year contract to provide prescription drug benefits to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania employees, retirees and dependents beginning July 1, 2012. CVS Caremark provides plan sponsors and participants access to a network of approximately 65,000 pharmacies including more than 7,300 CVS/pharmacy stores. The PEBTF account will be serviced from the CVS Caremark mail order pharmacy in Wilkes Barre, Pa, the specialty pharmacy in Monroeville, Pa and the customer service center in Monroeville, Pa. CVS Caremark was selected following a rigorous competitive-bidding and capabilities review process. In addition to its network and clinical programs, PEBTF members, under the CVS Caremark Maintenance Choice 2.0 program, will now be able to pick up their 90-day supply of maintenance medications at any CVS retail pharmacy at the same low copay as the mail order pharmacy.
