Transitions

We’ve successfully transitioned millions of plan members, with an approach that has been tested and refined over time. Our access to robust member feedback, coupled with our size and scale, help us constantly enhance the member experience.

Every member has unique needs that change and evolve over time. Our primary goal is to understand where each member is in their health care journey and tailor their transition to CVS Caremark around their needs. We do this by:

  • Delivering a personalized, proactive, multi-channel onboarding campaign
  • Automatically transferring mail-order prescriptions to CVS Caremark
  • Educating members on how to make the most of their benefits and helping them save money – using their preferred communications method
  • Deploying a high-touch outreach campaign for members who need greater support (i.e., those with complex and/or specialty conditions)
  • Proactively sending messages to members and providers about any prior authorization (PA) needs

Providing ongoing member support as cost and coverage strategies change

As the health care market changes, so will your formulary and/or network strategy. Members want help understanding the cost and coverage impacts through simple and clear communications. We send formulary change notifications to members and providers – offering appropriate, cost-effective alternatives to avoid disruption.
