CVS Health’s profits in ONE YEAR— 250 BILLION DOLLARS

This year (2020) we changed from Silver Scripts Part D – that is part of CVS Health along with the PBM Caremark…

Part D prgms have deductibles this year for the first time in years… so far year to day – even after paying a $435 deductible on our prescription meds our out of pocket cost with our new Humana Part D program is abt HALF…

Last week I picked up two Rxs for Barb and last year CVS charged us $41.00 copay for the two… this year Humana charged us $3.00 for the two.. in fact one of the two had a $0.00 Copay.

We still are patronizing the same independent pharmacy that we have been using for the last several years.

In looking at the pharmacy receipts from last year… Silver Scripts only paid about 20% of the total cost of our prescriptions with the vast majority showing that Silver Scripts paid the pharmacy NOTHING… We where picking up the entire cost of the Rx.

The most recent Rxs the one that was a $3.00 copay Humana paid the pharmacy $67.00 and we paid $3.00….

This might partially explain how CVS Health is able to show that much profit.

Silver Scripts and Caremark/PBM are one of the top three in their respective categories
