Unlock More Choices: New Ways to Fill Your 90-Day Prescriptions!

We’re thrilled to share an enhancement that provides greater flexibility in filling 90-day prescriptions for you and any covered dependents. Whether it’s medications for diabetes, blood pressure, asthma, or other ongoing needs, you now have more options. Here’s what’s changed.

Previous Experience:

CVS/caremark required you to fill 90-day prescriptions exclusively at a CVS Pharmacy or through the CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy (mail order).

New Experience – Effective Immediately:

In addition to CVS Pharmacy and CVS mail order, you can now choose from other pharmacies to fill your 90-day prescriptions:

  • Costco,
  • Costco’s Mail Order Pharmacy,
  • Kroger-affiliated pharmacies, or
  • Several independent pharmacies.

Find a Pharmacy

To find a pharmacy in your zip code where you can fill 90-day prescriptions:

  1. Sign in to caremark.com (or access directly without your credentials through the My K-C Benefits app by selecting Health > Prescription > Find an In-Network Pharmacy).
  2. Choose Plan & Benefits and then Pharmacy Locator.
  3. Type your zip code, city/state, or address, and select Search.
  4. Review the results of all in-network pharmacies. If a pharmacy is eligible to fill your 90-day prescription, the system will show “90-day supply available” under the hours of operation.

Call CVS/caremark at 888-797-8911. Representatives are available 24/7, 365 days a year.
