CVS HEALTH Corp · 2026-08-05 · Importance 31 · Surprise 42 · In source text

CVS Health launched a comprehensive GLP-1 support approach across CVS Pharmacy and MinuteClinic locations. Expanded pharmacy support is intended to help patients access GLP-1 treatments and remain on therapy, while a new $29 MinuteClinic virtual visit allows eligible adults to be evaluated by licensed clinicians and, when clinically appropriate, receive prescriptions. CVS Pharmacy also participates in the CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program, under which eligible Medicare beneficiaries can access certain GLP-1 medications for $50 per month through December 31, 2027. CVS Caremark expanded GLP-1 options in its most common commercial formularies to support affordable access to FDA-approved weight-management medications.
