New health benefits ID cards were mailed to members in June following the Benefit Funds’ prescription benefits provider change to CVS Caremark on July 1. The change adds CVS to the Benefit Funds’ list of in-network pharmacies. Using this card, members can now fill shortterm prescriptions at CVS pharmacies as well as Rite Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade, along with many independent providers.

To fill long-term prescriptions for maintenance medications, members can access the Benefit Funds’ 90Day Rx Solution program by asking their doctors to write and submit their prescriptions for a three-month supply with three refills (a year’s supply in total) directly to CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy, which will mail the medications to the member’s home.Alternately, members can order and pick up their long-term prescriptions at any CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade store.

Members can visit Caremark.com/StartNow to create online accounts on CVS Caremark, where they can view the 1199 Preferred Drug List, the 1199 Network Pharmacy List and manage their prescriptions.
