Drugs More Affordable We’ve developed the most comprehensive program in the industry to ensure that rising prescription drug prices are not a barrier to adhering to treatment plans and achieving better health.
At the pharmacy counter, at the doctor’s office, and through solutions provided by CVS Caremark, we’re combining our vast expertise with new technologies to develop innovative solutions that help patients manage prescription drug costs.
“Until now, patients haven’t had the appropriate tools available to them to help them manage these costs.
We are committed to finding the right drug at the lowest possible cost for patients to ensure they are able to access and stay on the medications they need.
CVS Health and President, CVS Pharmacy The CVS Pharmacy Rx Savings Finder enables our to seamlessly evaluate savings opportunities for patients at the pharmacy counter.
If the prescribed medication is on the patient’s formulary and is the lowest cost option available.
• If there are lower-cost options covered under the patient’s pharmacy benefit – such as a generic medication or therapeutic alternative with equivalent efficacy of treatment.
If generic or lower-cost alternatives are not available, the Rx Savings Finder identifies other potential savings options for eligible or uninsured patients, where allowed by applicable laws and regulations.

These strategies have been deployed for rheumatoid arthritis, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer and high cholesterol.
