On this plan, there is a $26 monthly plan premium with no deductible for generic drugs at CVS/pharmacies. Compared to a nonpreferred network pharmacy, plan members will pay a $3 copayment for preferred generic prescriptions and save $10 on copayments for nonpreferred generic and preferred brand prescriptions.
"We are committed to providing value to our Medicare beneficiaries, and this new plan is not only affordable, it increases our members' access to one of the premier pharmacy chains in the United States," says John Chomeau, head of Aetna Medicare. "With 75 percent of the U.S. population in the markets in which CVS/pharmacy operates living within three miles of a CVS drugstore, Medicare beneficiaries will have convenient access to the prescription drugs they need through this plan."

For members who fill their prescriptions at one of the 7,200 preferred CVS/pharmacy locations, there will be 24-hour or extended-hour services as well as drive-thru pharmacy windows available at most stores. Members can also access any of the 65,000 pharmacies in the Aetna Medicare network, and they will be issued a CVS/pharmacy ExtraCare Health Card, which offers discounts on thousands of over-the-counter CVS/pharmacy brand health-related items.
