The Power of One
With the 2007 merger of CVS Corporation and Caremark Rx, Inc., we've become an integrated provider of prescriptions and related health services with an unmatched breadth of capabilities. We're the market leader in multiple categories and able to provide payors and patients with solutions that no pharmacy retailer or pharmacy benefit manager on its own could offer. It's "The Power of One."
The combination will enable us to provide end-to-end solutions that impact everything from pharmacy plan design to the ultimate delivery of products and services to customers. Our capabilities include industry-leading clinical and health management programs, specialty pharmacy expertise, leadership in retail clinics, customer service excellence, and our deep knowledge of the consumer gained through the more than four million customers who visit our stores every day.
One Company
What do you get when you combine the nation's largest chain of retail pharmacies, a leading PBM, and the fastest-growing operator of retail health clinics? In CVS Caremark, you get a company with the potential to have a major impact on the way pharmacy and health care services in the United States are delivered. We plan to leverage our unique combination to help payors control costs more effectively, improve patient access, and promote better health outcomes in a way that no other company can.
One View of the Patient
It won't be long before every one of Caremark's patients can walk into a CVS/pharmacy with the confidence that his/her Pharmacist has a complete overview of his/her individual history. That includes routine prescriptions filled in our stores, mail order pharmacies, or at CVS.com; participation in one of Caremark's leading health management programs; or a visit to one of our MinuteClinics. This unique view of the patient will, among other things, help CVS Caremark promote greater compliance with customers' prescription drug regimens. That's one of the keys to improving health outcomes while reducing health care costs for both patients and payors.
