I worked for CVS just two years ago and I had Aetna as my employee insurance. I highly recommend that you don’t use the same pharmacy provider that owns your health insurance . It is too much of a moral hazard for the pukes at CVS not to take advantage of.
I used CVS for years. Then when my insurance didn’t cover drugs I tried to use Good RX. CVS refused to honor the Good RX price. They charged me double the good RX price. The next time they tried to do that they lost me as a customer. I went to another pharmacy.
The new pharmacy had the drug for MUCH less than Good RX! Shop around if you’ll be taking that drug for a while. I’ve found that some grocery store chains have the best prices.
