Our prescription insurance restricts us to using CVS and CVS Caremark for certain medications. Getting those medications is a nightmare every time. It takes weeks each time I try to refill my daughter's daily allergy medication - I now start trying a month in advance and we still don't always get it on time. I am currently trying to obtain medication to help prevent preterm labor after we lost a daughter who was born prematurely and have spent the past three days trying to sort the prescription out (after three days they still can't verify that they even have the prescription in their possession since "it takes 24-48 hours to process" and the most recent one was sent to them yesterday).
Granted, all of their service reps have been polite, but the system itself is horrific. If I was just ordering a product for my own enjoyment I might be annoyed but considering that this is a necessary medication that needs to be started next week, I am frantic. CVS Caremark should not be allowed to handle anything other than vitamin C if they can't get their act together and provide medicines to their clients in a timely manner.

I received a nasty letter from CVS Caremark stating my current prescription would need to be filled in the future by their mail order processing center. I called and said I didn't like mail order and I certainly didn't like their nasty letter. "Oh don't be upset- it's a form letter," she said. "We send to all of our clients." Wow lucky me. She said the company would do all the work, contact my physician and get a 90 day prescription for me. It would only cost me $20. She said if you walked into a neighborhood CVS it would cost me $10 for a 30 day supply (hence $30 for a 90 day supply). And she said, "By the way you have an opt out provision in your insurance that would allow you to not use mail order but rather go to your local pharmacy". Then I asked, "Why the nasty letter and why use your mail order?" She said, "The price- you will save $10 with a 90 day supply". Why not save $10- so I ordered.
What a mistake!!! The order came and it was a 30 day supply and the bill was $20. I called, was escalated to someone in the superior "I don't care" department and they told me I was given all the information and there was no impropriety nor lack of disclosure given. It was my fault I didn't get the prescription myself and my doctor's fault that he didn't approve a 90 day supply. I asked why they didn't call me and let me know the now $10.00 savings was going to cost me an additional $10- a 100% increase over walking down the street to a different pharmacy. Their reply was, "we are not at fault- we don't promised you nothing". What a scam!!! Is anybody out there a member of a class action suit against this company? I would love to join. Can you imagine if they are doing this to many- my $10 becomes millions. They are dishonest as the day is long and should not be in business.

My doctor recently wrote a prescription and it went to the "specialty pharmacy." That was 24 hours ago. I have not heard anything from the specialty pharmacy so I gave them a call. I was told that "We have to verify your insurance and that can take 24-48 hours". Really? Really? It does not take 24-48 hours to verify insurance. Let me repeat that - they told me it takes 24-48 hours to verify insurance. It does not take 24-48 hours to verify insurance. It is done electronically and either I have that medication on my plan or I don't.
Plus, at the time of my call - it had already been 24 hours. Also, mind you, I called them. No one bothered to call me. Hmmm. When I did call - all I got was the runaround. So far not very happy with the quality of service... Looks like I will be waiting about 2 weeks for my medication. I got the script on Tuesday and it's now Wednesday. Hopefully someone will call me by tomorrow afternoon. Then I have to wait for them to send it to me "overnight". That however can take up to 72 hours. I go out of town next week. I am not happy.

I wish I could give zero stars. I was forced to change to this mail order plan at the beginning of the year or pay full price for my prescriptions. It was a hassle to get all my prescriptions switched. Now I am trying to pay my bill online and it keeps on giving my card an error message (I checked to make sure it is correct.) They sent me a bill but I do not use checks! I pay online! But I can't! Incompetent.

These people are beyond incompetent. They had my doctor's prescription for 75mcg ** auto-renewing for 5 mg ** (wrong dosage!!). My doctor never prescribed that doseage. Now when my actual dosage has run out, they tell me that prescription has expired. It hasn't. No one at this company knows what to do. I think mail order is dangerous if they have incompetent people running the place. Management should be ashamed!

My employer changed to CVS Caremark from Navitus in January of this year. It has been nothing less than a disaster. First, with no notice they told me I needed a prior authorization to refill a prescription that I have had filled for over ten years through Navitus. They didn't notify me of this until I went to refill it. It ended up going with the prescription for two weeks. Now just today, I went to refill a prescription at CVS that was filled there using CVS Caremark coverage and they tell me I must use a Specialty Pharmacy. They could not explain why I was able to fill the Rx last month. Anyway, each month, I now need to go through a horrendous phone tree to reorder this prescription and wait for them to fill it, then mail it to me or to my CVS Pharmacy. They obviously are customer focused. If you have a choice in Rx Insurance, I recommend you avoid CVS Caremark.

I would like to have a HUGE complaint, regarding about my son’s pain medication, that he has been on for at least 10 years. I have also read the others complaints, and that I can really relate what they are saying. First off, all of a sudden you need a doctor pre-authorization to continue with the med, in order to get approve and to get the medicine for the insurance to pay, and that remind you, I have received the letter saying it’s good for a year. Next thing I heard, was to go to the doctor for the approval of getting the medication, and was given a new prescription. Mind you it was the same ones before, and they would not fill it until he sees the doctor, who he has the same doctor for over 10 years!
I take the prescription to CVS, thinking everything was good and it’s still back to square one again! Now they want to tell us how many tablets to get and it’s not the doctor that wrote the amount he gets every 2 weeks of 90 tablets and instead to get 120 tablets once a month. It won’t even cover for the whole month! If it was 180 for a month, then that would solved the problems. Those people that are working for CVS have NO clue what they are doing, and you don’t know the patients, nor you don’t know what they have been going through!
This is beyond the most ridiculous thing that I have ever encountered with, and as far as I’m concerned, they are ripping people off! One more thing, I had to pay the full amount of the price in order to get his medication and was told to hang on my receipt and to get the reimbursement and they denied it. Really? I just went to the CVS yesterday, and had that gut feeling that the insurance are doing this again, making me to pay full price, and sure enough it did. What was I supposed to do? Put it off to see if again the insurance was going to cover it? The answer I got was no again! I don’t think none of those people are on the same page of dealing with CVS, and this has been nothing but a headache since last month. Never before, that we had issues with CVS, but now I’m beginning it’s becoming a ripoff!

I am beyond mad! I have been dealing with employees from CVS that know nothing about the system! I have had my prior authorization and prescription in for over a week and cannot have it delivered! I have called every day to try to figure out what is needed and what is not. Today, they told me I do not have prior authorization! Seriously? I am forced to use them since I am forced to use CareSource being an independent contractor in KY. What good is this doing when I am paying for something I cannot receive? I need my medication. What now? This whole system needs to be revamped! For a medication I have been on for 10 years, it seems the system is the problem!

Nobody should have to endure their headaches. They do not inform you when prescription criteria changes. They have terrible communication. I received incorrect information from 3 reps before I finally contacted my insurance to help. We went around in circles. Finally a supervisor got on the phone and she provided information that was just as confusing before she informed us how to overcome the issue. It was so frustrating. I feel they should be out of business.

Since when does a pharmacy plan have the right to deny filling a prescription if you don't order through one of their pharmacies on a 90 day refill? I was told upon calling "No ma'am it's to save you money." BS! I switched to a different pharmacy already to do that. Stop making people jump through your silly hoops to refill needed prescriptions that can save a life. So to resolve this issue I had to simply call CVS and opt out of the "savings plan". Terrible. Horrible.

Being a senior citizen and new to Medicare I relied on a name brand I thought could be trusted, CVS Pharmacy and CVS Caremark mail order for prescription drugs required by my doctors for my health. So I called Caremark direct to get accurate pricing of all the drugs I am currently taking, they had a list and started quoting me pricing, things looked good, actually very good so I enrolled with their plan, which you can only change once a year
Well, as soon as the period for change was over and my prescriptions started coming in the mail, prices were way way off of what I was quoted, I was quoted $0.00 co-pay and then got a bill in the mail for $34.95, thinking hey that's a mistake I called and they said, "No. That's correct, you must have misunderstood" (I did not misunderstand. I wrote it down). "So ok. Let's return this", "No can't do that, you have to file a grievance, wait the outcome which could take a few weeks and it may not be in your favor." "What, what about the return, what about the drugs I need", they locked out anybody else from filing that prescription until resolved nor could I take what they sent unless I paid for them.
What a company screw the public, especially the senior citizen public. Unbelievable. All I can say is I'm locked into them for a year and as soon as that's over I'm done with them, CVS Caremark and their insurance company Silver Script are bottom of the barrel. The woman I spoke with Cassandra kept asking am I satisfied with the outcome of the conversation. I kept saying, "NO", she kept asking. I finally said, "What don't you understand about NO, you did not handle any of my concerns. Nothing." I give them a zero "0", but I had to put in a 1 star to complete the review.

At the first of the year CVS Caremark contacted me and stated some of my drugs would not be covered, or the price would increase unless I purchased directly from their mail order service. I moved my prescription to CVS and after 3+ weeks and many phone calls I'm still having issues getting all the prescription processed. They have even had the Dr. send 3 prescription for the same drug, and they still are having issues. I have contacted customer service many times and they keep telling me everything is OK, but then, in a few days, when I check the order it shows canceled. I contacted them today, and it was the same runaround, the system canceled the order, and they will have a new prescription request sent to the DR. and get the order processed, SOMETIME IN THE NEXT YEAR...

I am forced by ADAP to use this pharmacy and it takes forever for them to approve a new prescription with ADAP so I can make an order. You can never check if there is a problem with an order until the day of shipment when it turns out there is one and they will not notify you. They are separated in "departments" instead of one person doing everything like at a regular pharmacy. The departments do not do their job and have poor communication between each other. If I went to a regular pharmacy at a near grocery store, the prescription get verified in a day and delivered next day. With CVS Caremark it takes weeks and you have to constantly call them to make them their job.

From one month to the next CVS changes coverage on what they will and will not pay for without communication to the patient. With your physician doing all required pre-authorizations beforehand nothing is ever satisfying to the insurance company. I recently had an appointment with my doctor and now my insurance doesn’t think I need the amount of medication that I’ve been taking for years, (because bone pain isn't the same as with someone with cancer as was their example for why they were refusing to continue to pay for my medication. I’ve had 6 bone reconstruction surgeries including a bone graph on my foot, also have 6 screws and 2 plates holding everything together.
I suffer day in and day out, from deep bone pain. I need my medication to have a better quality of life. I’m also scheduled to have another surgery for hardware removal that’s perturbing from my heel. Often I have to pay for these medications out of my pocket totaling over five thousand USD for 2017. Only to get a letter in the mail for approval from CVS/CAREMARK. Stating to go ahead to get my medications filled as they will cover the cost, since these are controlled fills when they are due. You must get them or you could suffer serious health consequences, that could lead to a stroke or something even more serious. Asking for reimbursement is impossible. They will not pay you back if you’ve paid out of pocket. I hope someone reads this and can relate or is going through the same thing. Peace and Blessings.

I have had no trouble getting my prescriptions on time each month. They call, in fact they call too much, but they do go out of their way to make sure I get my medications on time. When my doctor took me off one of my medications they called me to ask if I had accidentally not ordered it, I appreciated the attention they take with my account. Entirely different experience then OptumRx. Optum seemed to go out of their way to make sure I didn't get my meds. I would spend an average of 5 hours a month on the phone with Optum arguing with them just to get them to send my medications (funny right, I thought they were in the business of selling medicine). If you have a choice, choose these guys over OptumRx.

I called about a refill that was already 2 days late and was told by a representative that it had been delivered 2 days ago. I assured her that I had not receive the package and she practically called me a liar and that UPS was ALWAYS right and had indeed delivered the package. I informed her that she needed to resend immediately and she then informed me that I had no refills now and it would take another 4 days to receive. I was livid by this time, I was already out of medicine. I told them to cancel my mail order delivery immediately and that I would take care of my orders myself. I called my doctor and was given a new prescription and picked up the same day. One week later I received the old package from UPS that was never delivered. It had the delivery date on it (one week earlier). I will never use this service again.

When they send the wrong quantity and claim it's the doctor's fault or the fault of the patient and refuse to help anyone unless they truly believe the mistake was their own that is poor service. I turned off the autorefill on the wrong quantity wrote by my doctor and turned on the autorefill for the correct quantity wrote by my other doctor but they sent the wrong script from the wrong doctor and claimed it was my fault because they sent me a text message before sending it and I did not call and correct the mistake in time.
Perhaps it was partially my fault and partially my doctors fault but it would have been pretty easy to correct it regardless. All they did was blame me and the doctor repeatedly and said they did not have to fix it. Rude unhelpful service every time I call them which is once or twice a year at most when there is a mistake because they always are rude to me and treat me like an idiot. Usually it is less painful to suffer the lack of proper meds than to deal with the agitation and stress these people cause me.

If I could give Caremark zero stars, I would. I have to have monthly asthma injections that must be delivered to my doctor's office. Caremark never gets them delivered on time because they wait to put them on a UPS truck. Even though this is a standing order, I call 2 weeks before I am supposed to be stuck by a needle just to try to get it on time. Even then, the medication can be late. I've shown up to my doctor's office and the medication hasn't even been delivered!
Last month, Caremark told me they were no longer contracted with my insurance and not one single rep had the same answer. My insurance company told me Caremark was contracted, that nothing had changed! When I requested to speak to a supervisor at Caremark, the rep told me they couldn't transfer calls!!! Now, a month later and suddenly Caremark is contracted with my insurance again! I am so glad I'm my own medical advocate because my elderly mother would never be able to navigate the cave in which Caremark operates.

So where do I start? At the end of last year I was finally prescribed a Med that I had been working closely with my doc on for 6 mos. I got it in on the Friday of New Years weekend. I went to pick it up on Saturday and they told me I needed a preauthorization. No call. No nothing. Funny thing... I was within the my deductible so my copay was minimal. So obviously I couldn't get the med. So this year we picked a different plan through my work and it had a lower deductible for meds. Because of my wife's illness we hit it pretty quick. I put the order in after my wife had checked that we did meet the deductible.
We checked on their app and called in and both told us that we had met the deductible and the copay was $29. So when I went to pick it up they informed me that it was $271! I said what??? I have since spent nearly 4 hours on the phone with no result! I was told that an account specialist was to call me. I called at 3 today and was like helloooo? The lady told me that I would have to wait 24-72 hours, TODAY, TODAY she tells me this?!? WTH Caremark!!!

First the local CVS didn't order the correct manufacturer that my Physician clearly writes on all scripts of this medication I've been on for over 10 years. Then they want to run it on my insurance again after it was their mistake and come back when they got the correct manufacturer in. I call Caremark who were very nice and they say no. They shouldn't run it again on my insurance & I'd just pay my copay when it comes in. Well long story short the local CVS was awful on both times and I'm having to have it run again on my insurance, pay more or don't get the medication. Also, this is now the SECOND time. They still don't have the correct medication/manufacturer and so I'm still waiting and going to pay more!!! Ridiculous! I have plenty notes and such as well.

Why in God or anyone's name should I need to provide a pre-authorization for a medication that I have been taking for over a decade, from the same doctor, operating at the same location? To me, this is unwarranted, unacceptable and most certainly ill-regarded. As a woman in her 30s, I would hope that I was "age appropriate" to determine the proper effective dosage of the medication that I've been prescribed to for FIFTEEN YEARS (!!!) by the same doctor, in the same location, that I am so confident in, that I flew from Austin, TX to Den to see my doc, that's how exceptional she is.

I've been using a generic medication for a chronic condition for 7 years. My health insurance, unfortunately, changed for 2018. I now have my prescription benefits through CVS Caremark. I had NO IDEA what a huge change this would be. Apparently, Caremark has decided to limit the amount of my medication. No one told me this when I dropped off my prescription even though it's a new change that all employees knew about. No one told me this after the insurance came back requiring prior authorization. I found out when I had someone try to pick up the medication the next day. They had the prescription for 30 hours at that point - yet no one thought I should be informed.
Oh - and the new policy re limitations for this particular medicine becomes effective as of February 1, 2018. Am I missing something here? I am pretty sure that it's still January. I was told that they had contacted my Dr's office right after I dropped off prescription - and again the next day - requesting information in order to process the prior authorization. Not true. I called my Dr and they were not happy when I told them that CVS was blaming them for the delay. My Dr immediately contacted Caremark and spent about 20 minutes on the phone in order to obtain a prior authorization.
As of 5:57 p.m. today, the prior authorization is still pending. I've had to obtain prior authorizations before (for specialty medications) while using Express Scripts - immediate approval after speaking with doctor. I was told that the approval might take up to THIRTY DAYS to receive. Absolutely ridiculous. I was told that I could pay for medicine out-of-pocket (by 3 different individuals) and then get reimbursed when I receive my authorization. So, I did so a couple hours ago because I will be out of my medication tomorrow around noon. Now I've read that this is most likely untrue - I am now out $$$ because they lied to me. VERY UNHAPPY.

Needing meds on time is out of the question with CVS Specialty. They are not proactive - they wait for you to call to see if they're on schedule or planning to fulfill prescriptions. They do not allow you to call into someone you've previously had conversations with. Every time you call you take the first 10 minutes rehashing your situation. Huge waste of time - incredibly frustrating - causes severe stress for something that should not be difficult. Lots of back and forth - probably the worst experience I've had - nearly left me in tears.

I had dealt with CVS Caremark for a number of months for a very expensive medication. I was being helped with the copay by the pharmaceutical company, so my copay with Caremark was $10. I refilled with text, and was sent my medication as usual, only to be followed up with an $800 bill. The pharmaceutical company had maxed out my copay. Caremark will not call you ahead of time in such a case to ask if you still need it filled. When I spoke to a representative to complain, I was told there is no “complaint” department, but would make a note in my file. They have since turned me over to collections. My advice - buyer beware.

I had been getting a specialty medicine with no issue from my retail pharmacy for a year when my health insurance company decided to switch it over to CVS Caremark mail order. I spent about a month setting up my account and my prescription (they could not just take the existing prescription from the store along with the copay coupon.) When I initially gave them my information, someone took my birth date down wrong and when I called in again, I was asked my birth date. Since it didn't coincide with what they erroneously took down, they said they would have to talk to my insurance company to verify. Then, I called again. An operator corrected it based on my word. (Thank God for her!)
After many phone calls, I called about a week out to make sure all was well. I was told my prescription was not written right and to contact my doctor and have her call. I did, and the doctor said they told her there were no problems on their end (what?!) A day later, a CVS Caremark rep called to let me know my prescription would be sent overnight, and did I want a sharps container as well? I said yes. The next day, my prescription (which is normally one cartridge) came in two smaller milligram vials and there was no sharps container.
This was late on Friday, so there was no way to contact the doc to resolve the issue. There is no way I can administer this medicine as it is in a different vehicle (vials vs. cartridge). I called CVS Caremark to try to determine what could be done and they said to contact my doctor (gone for the day) and that they would only take the medicine back if it wasn't my fault as determined their recordings of phone discussions.

Took 4 prior authorization rejections to get my Psoriatic arthritis drug approved and now that I am approved still will not send the medication. I have spent over 4 hours trying to convince pharmacy to send the medication. First they did not even show the prior auth approved and I had to pull it out of their own system. Second the drug requires a load dose which is exactly the same as the regular medication but taken every week instead of once a month. They won't send me the medication because the Dr sent in for a load dose and the prior auth is for once a month. So I told them to send me the one shot, and they still will not do it.

I had 6 renewed prescriptions submitted by photo 3 days ago. I've monitored the app and saw no evidence of them being processed or received. I submitted a request for call back to no avail. Finally today I phoned customer care and announced my employment affiliation while asking if I’m at the right department and was assured that I was. Fifteen frustrating minutes later, I was transferred. I asked why and was told this is the department that handles my affiliation.
After another 10 minutes she located my photo submissions. She said that one (1) of them had an item that was illegible or wrong and they’ve reached out to my physician. I asked why wasn’t I alerted? Why weren’t the other meds processed, or annotated as received? She said, "it didn’t concern you, it’s nothing that you can fix, we don’t do it that way." She added, "but you can go to a local pharmacy and get a partial fill until we can get this resolved." I abruptly asked her to cease processing and close my mail order account.

R. G of Lancaster MA, I feel your pain. I am also from MA, maybe that's the problem. LOL. I get a monthly script for 720 tablets (long story). I picked it up on 9/22/17 no problem. On 10/26 I was told I needed a new prior auth. It had never been issue before, so I wasn't worried. This time it was denied for quantity limit. My doctor submitted the reason for the quantity. Still denied. We filed an appeal, denied, 2nd appeal, denied, external review, denied. "External" yeah right. It went to the same address as the others on a Friday and was denied on Monday. They approved me for 360 tablets every 75 days! Big whoop. They dated my approval for Oct 26th. I feel I should have been able to get the 360 tabs right away. They said to me on the phone, I had to wait 75 days from the last fill, or Dec. 5th. (Now, I didn't make up that date - LOL - I didn't know off the top of my head, while I was on the phone with them, what date was 75 days from 9/22).
So I went to the pharmacy on Dec 5th to get my medication filled. DENIED. I called CVS Caremark and they said, "we will get you an override so you can get your prescription tonight." It wouldn't go through so he spoke with his senior rep. who said that because I had gotten 720 on 9/22, that was essentially a 150 day supply and I couldn't fill again until Feb 3 2018! They also said, as with your situation, that my doctor is the one who authorized the 320 tablets for 75 days which is NOT true, that is all they would approve. Like you said, how can THEY determine that what my doctor is prescribing me is too much? I told them that this is completely unacceptable. How can they count a prescription that was filled on a prior authorization from a prior year, Oct 4, 2016-Oct 4, 2017 against a quantity limitation for a prior authorization dated Oct 26, 2017-Oct 26, 2018?
For one, when I picked up my medication on 9/22 I didn't KNOW that when I WOULD go to get it in a month they were GOING to limit my quantity. Two, when I went to get my medication in Oct, it was because I was OUT of medication from Sept. Three, the quantity of medication in Sept was ALREADY authorized, so they can't count it against a FUTURE authorization. Then to top it all off, I get a letter stating that they are PLEASED TO INFORM ME that starting in Jan 2018, they are cutting my script down again to 180 tabs every 75 days! So, if I was approved for 360 tabs, but can't get that until Feb. 3 but they are cutting it down to 180 in Jan, that tells me they NEVER intended on giving me 360 tablets!!
They are shady crooks. Every insurance plan through my employer uses them. I checked into my husband's insurance, and they use them too. There is no way around them. I filed with the Mass. Dept of Insurance and they told me I have to file with the Group Insurance Commission who oversees my insurance. I contacted them and they said I have to speak with CVS Caremark. This is RIDICULOUS! There has to be SOMEONE above them! If I could give them less than 1 star, I would!

Received an email stating auto refill was being processed. Called CVS Caremark and was told they have no record of me in the system. Very strange since they have processed RX's for me before. The rep said there was nothing she could do for me - exact words. Another issue - they sent a RX to the wrong address and they said there was nothing they could do. I told them they sent it to the correct address the 1st time not for sure why it was sent to my old address the 2nd time. Again, nothing they could do. Had to end up paying for RX out of pocket.

Had an auto refill set up for a long term medication. It arrived, but a week later I get an email saying they're processing another refill of the same medication. With a 90 day supply already in hand I contact customer care and they agree to hold the refill until I advise them of need. The next morning another email telling me the order is being processed. Once again I contact customer (no) service and am told the doctor sent in a new script so they filled it. Okay... Since I started taking this med to get the dosage needed I take one and one half tablet. The manufacturer now makes the tablet in a single tablet of the dosage I take. Apparently refill #1 was the last refill. After Caremark refilled it, they initiated the "Auto Renewal" of the script and when the doctor sent the new script in for the same medication, same dosage but different size tablet they went ahead and filled the script with the rationale that it's a, "new" medication.
Can anyone else see the lawsuit potential here? Good thing I'm on the ball - conceivably someone could've been in the same situation illustrated as above and mistakenly take double the doses via the "refill" and the "new" meds sent within a two week period. As it is, this bulk of medication I've paid for - as required via a pre-filed credit card - will expire long before I run out. Brilliant!!

When you call to speak to someone, they are clueless. They told me that my Doctor placed the limit...LIE!!! My doctor's office flipped when I told them what CVS Caremark said. Because of CVS Caremark's lie and failure to report to anyone, pharmacy, me and my doctor's office, of their arbitrary decision to place a limit, I am now out almost $300 because I had to pay the entire cost of the medication.
I've paid for insurance for over 30 years because I WORK. It's incredible that people sitting behind a computer can impose arbitrary decisions and play with people's lives (literally). I asked the person I was talking to if his family ever got denied... He couldn't answer. I also stated that because this company doesn't care about people, just the almighty dollar, everyone who works for this disgusting company supports these idiotic decisions resulting in additional medical issues and hospitalizations.

We have to use Caremark because my husband’s employer started using them. I've had nothing but problems from day one with this company. I've ordered prescriptions online and don't receive them. When I call they tell me that I requested the prescriptions that I ordered be placed on hold until I call. Twice I've told them that I never requested this, and have asked to be removed from the hold request.
Who in their right mind will order a prescription and then have it put on hold, If I order it is because I need it. I am not referring to the company holding a prescription when it's too early to refill. I put my husband’s two prescriptions on automatic refill. Instead of sending one prescriptions my husband has two new bottles of medicine plus the one he is still working on. I called and asked why they are sending an extra bottle of pills, the rep I was talking to said she didn't have an answer for me, that maybe my husband was forgetting to take his meds.

I feel obligated to let anyone who is researching CVS Caremark services to be prepared with endless patience and expect disappointment when it comes to getting prescriptions filled. CVS Caremark has drs send in scripts electronically (if the script qualifies) & then hounds the Dr's office over and over asking for more information. Trying to get medication approved for patients ASAP, the dr's office ends up writing an equivalent script (medication by a different company) such as the generic is not being approved, so they write for the brand name. CVS Caremark quickly gets the brand name approved and filled costing me $100 compared to $8 for the generic.
Why would they need so much information from the Dr's office? Not only have I been taking this medication for many years, but CVS Caremark has filled it in the past and was offering to get me a refill by contacting my dr's office. How did CVS Caremark offering to refill my generic script turn into them filling with the brand name script? This gives me cause to wonder if CVS Caremark isn't getting some sort of kickback from specific drugs??? Anyway you explain it, the generic $8 script sent in electronically by the dr is still "on hold"; whereas the $100 brand script (sent in electronically by the dr's office over 1 1/2 weeks after the generic) was promptly filled, charged to my account and mailed out. Of course, CVS Caremark does not accept returns, so be prepared to pay for the most expensive script you hadn't of budgeted for!
Amongst all this chaos, I had many communications with CVS Caremark, & not once did I get more than a cut & paste "generic" reply. 90% of the time the reply did not even address the topic of my concern. I even escalated the communication & got the same cut & paste reply I was unhappy with. Pffft! My guess is that these communications are sourced out and not being answered by people educated in the field of prescription drugs, or in customer service for that matter. Though that is my personal belief, not a fact I have/can prove. My nightmares with CVS Caremark just continue on & on. My insurance does not offer another alternative to get 3 month refills for many of my medications, so I am stuck. If You as a consumer have an option, steer clear of CVS Caremark.

I dropped off my prescription to be filled at my local CVS in Silver Spring, MD. I was informed that I could only have 40 of my 270 pills filled at this time (13 days of a 3 pill a day prescription, NOT even 2 weeks worth). I have sat on hold, been bounced around, lied to, treated badly, hung up on. On Nov. 1, without notice to myself or my doctor - CareMark (owned by CVS) decided at a whim that they could simply change and limit the number of pills I could receive of my arthritis medication for pain. For 4 days CareMark, CVS, and Carefirst have jerked me around and screwed with my prescription not allowing me to have it filled to the 3 month supply. (Goodness knows the last place I want to go to every 13 days is the local CVS with terrible customer service).
First I was told by CareMark to call Carefirst; then Carefirst said, "No, you need to contact CareMark," then it was that CareMark needed an authorization for the 270 days from my doctor (who supplied it via electronic portal), then it was, "No we need an appeal." Carefirst is like, "It's CareMark," CVS says, "It's Carefirst." I pay these clowns $996.00 per month for my health insurance and they won't refill a prescription I have had for 4 years. Not to mention that CareMark/CVS took a "stand" on ** on Nov. 1 (WITHOUT TELLING THE DOCTORS or THE PATIENTS) that they were going limit it to the 40 pills per month. They said they sent the notification out on November 2nd, but the change was effective beginning on Nov. 1. It's time that this gravy train ENDS.

I wish their online app had just a little bit more information too and make it a little more colorful with larger words that are easier to read. But it’s not too bad. Combine shipping would also be nice.
On the other hand, it was very good and easy to fill my prescription. It was in stock which I like very much and it did not cost as much as I thought it would. The shipping cost was very reasonable and I also got an email alert letting me know that they have shipped and around the time it should arrive. That was very helpful to me. Customer service was great as well and really cared about me as a person, not just in for the money. Everything worked out just great, and I’m very happy with the service I received.

CVS Caremark’s product selection is good. They always have what the dr prescribes. The process of filling the drug is fast, simple, and efficient. I really like to be able to order and I've ordered refills by phone and online and I like having my prescriptions delivered to my mailbox without having to leave my home. The prices of the drugs are relatively less expensive than retail prices. But I don't like to be contacted about filling a prescription and I prefer to do the initiating when ready. I also don't like to have a prior authorization to be able to obtain some of my prescriptions but I guess that's more of an insurance issue.

I like the way they call you when your prescription is ready too. I don't mind waiting for a prescription if it an hour or so, but I would rather come back to pick it up.

I was forced to use CVS because they were the only pharmacy that I could obtain my prescription, and I found it very difficult and frustrating. From the confusing website to the poor support, my experience was awful. They are the worst. CVS had trouble honoring the manufacturer's coupon online. Customer service had no clue and I got the complete runaround. I ended up having to go into the store to speak with a pharmacist. But she had a difficult time, too, navigating the internal bureaucracy. Then, at one point I was accused of faking my doctor's prescription because the pharmacy lost it. They finally found it tucked into a supervisor's file folder. Apparently, she needed to get approval to fill it. CVS Caremark sucks. I actually asked my doctor to change my prescription to get away from CVS. Once my drug became released to additional pharmacies, I immediately moved. I would never use them again.

Delivery was convenient and cheaper whenever I was able to order and pay for a single shipment for 3 months of refills. I could usually get 3 months of meds for the regular price of one elsewhere. Also, customer service was usually helpful and courteous. Service was fine but ultimately had to go back to brick and mortar stores. CVS is best to only use for drugs that don't need to be taken every day or cause severe side effects if you had to do without meds while waiting for refills. They need to work better with a patient's insurance companies to ensure more seamless refills, especially with those meds that are routinely taken. Developing a smartphone application would be extremely useful and likely help with both refill issues and payment/account management. They could provide reward incentive programs or sales/coupons, too. Service was fine but ultimately had to go back to brick and mortar stores.

This past month I went to refill my birth control and they wouldn't cover it unless my doctor called in a 90 day supply as opposed to 30 day. My doctor's office did and it was still being declined.
THEY ARE FREAKING BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. And over Labor Day weekend, I realized I was down to one pill of my antidepressant, so I submitted for a refill which is not being covered because it is also not prescribed in a 90 day supply. Do you people understand what it feels like to have to go cold turkey off of this medication?! And then what it feels like when you have to reintroduce it?

I always have loved this place and the staff was the friendliest people I have ever met in my life. I can't wait to go back again.

I like that I can fill my prescriptions online. The store near me is pretty busy all the time, so it's a lot quicker. I'm also a fan of as few human interactions as possible, so I do enjoy being able to skip a phone call. CVS is convenient but it would be nice is if they could renovate the store near my place. The roof leaks when it rains and I know the poor manager is at his wit's end. Other than that, the website was pretty smooth and I like that I was able to get points on my CVS card.

Good experience in general. The company is extremely fast in the orders, usually I need them before two weeks is up and generally speaking they have been on time. The customer support was there when I had a question about the proper amount of dosage for the prescription but was resolved. I would like to have more online options for shipping because they have a standard rate, but having options like Amazon Prime does would be better. Better online website portal environment. The overall experience was fast and simple to order.

Mixed Experience Overall. I liked the convenience factor. They are able to fill large quantities so you don't have to worry about monthly prescriptions. Also do not have to drive to a store and wait in line. But they are too rigid in their processes. I had an experience where a prescription was held up due to red tape. Holding a prescription when the customer explicitly states they are out of pills is dangerous. Also not every representative seemed to grasp what they were truly doing. Prescriptions can mean life or death in some cases and the reps need to be solely about the customer.

I am required to use CVS Caremark Speciality Pharmacy for a medication for a very rare illness. I have now been waiting 15 days for the medication I need to help open the arteries in my lungs. I called last week and was told "Boy, you didn't wait long to call." I responded by telling him that they should have received the script 5 days prior at which point he said that he would have the prescription verified and would put a rush on it. Well, nothing so I called back yesterday and was told "Oh, you need prior authorization from your insurance company." I asked why this wasn't done at the same time as the verification and was told they don't do it that way.
I asked when the PA form was sent to my doc's office and was told yesterday! That only took exactly 2 weeks! I received a call from my insurance company today saying the medication was approved and to call to set up delivery. When I called CSP today I was told that the prescription had to be verified by the pharmacist! I mentioned (not so nicely) that that was supposed to happen last week. This is one of the most frustrating things to deal with when you NEED your medication. I realize I am lucky to have insurance, but dealing with a company that they require I deal with is ridiculous.

I like that CVS Caremark automatically contacts the doctor if there are no refills left on a regular prescription. My prescriptions are delivered on time or I am contacted in a timely manner if there is a problem. However, the website can be cumbersome to use. It can be confusing when all the prescriptions are listed, it could be simplified and made a bit more user friendly. I have used Caremark for mail delivery for over 10 years and never had a single problem until the last couple of years. Unfortunately I switched doctors about the same time and can't be sure exactly where the main problem is, but there is regularly a lack of communication between Caremark and my doctor.

I thought that it would be convenient to try to use CVS online to see if this was advantageous. It was really easy and a very seamless process ordering my medicines online and picking it up in the store. I really liked it.

A leader company. I like it because it gives me the possibility to be free to some extent to fill my own prescriptions without having to bring a medical prescription, which is great today. So far I have not been disillusioned with them because they have known how to earn my loyalty to them with the products and services they offer me there. In general I have felt comfortable buying and using this company because its services and products that they offer have fulfilled all my needs without limitations of any type.

CVS Caremark is easy and much more convenient than traditional shopping at a regular store. I love that I can order online and have it sent to me and I especially like that I don't have to worry about ordering while the pharmacy is still open. It works well with my hours at work. I'm so happy I discovered this great service. Using it was fantastic, quick and easy and I will be using this company from now on. I highly recommend it to others.

I liked that it was easy to request my prescription to be filled. My medicine is almost always available and I don't have to wait for it. They have great customer service and are always willing to help you. Anytime I have a question it's always answered and any problem is resolved. I wouldn't really change anything. If I had to change anything I would change the time it takes to get a prescription refilled. Sometimes it takes awhile and is not ready when I need it or by a certain time. Reliable, easy, trusted.

I like this company because this company gets my prescriptions ready in a timely manner. The process of filling my prescription is fast and easy. I like that my medicine is delivered right to my door. They make sure I'm home when the package comes. They never leave it so it doesn't get stolen. It's there as expected. It's never late and its packaging is always nice and neat. This is a very reliable and great company. There's nothing that I would change about the company. I see this company doing very well in the future. I see more and more people using this company. Also, the customer service is always great. Overall, my experience was great and I never had any problems.

Very convenient. Promptness and accuracy with the online services. I didn't have to remember when to pick up medication at the pharmacy and it came in the mail and a email was sent to notify me. Payment is also online and it was easier because of the automatic refill. However, if you don't monitor your account you may not know there's an issue. Not being notified when prescriptions are no longer covered by insurance. Customer Service can only be so helpful and if your medication is changed or there's a issue medication will be missed. It's not very good for some seniors to use. It was average with some improvement needed with them and I would continue using it.

It was a great experience. They took care of all my needs and I love the way they care for their customers and I would go back to them over and over again. I really like how they handle my orders, how fast they do service and how they handle it if a problem arises. They do a great job and I wouldn't switch. They are a great company and I would suggest them to anyone I know. I really think they're the best. I really like their company.

I like that CVS Caremark provides fast, effective, and efficient services to those that are busy and don't have time to be able to go to CVS and fulfill their prescription needs, such as filling prescriptions. I would make it so that there are more options offered at the Caremark online service which you can find already at the physical CVS pharmacy location. My overall experience was that when using the service (both filling and using customer service), it was overall fast and convenient for me to be able to get the service online.

I used CVS for all prescription for 20 yrs. 10 yrs ago I developed a deterioration of a tissue between my vertebras/discs and have bone on bone nervous severe pain. I tried all prescriptions from ** to heat patch but nothing worked to relieve sharp pain. Doctor prescribed an ** that manages pain well. Every time I went to CVS the tech would give me dirty looks and the amount of time took longer and longer to fill. I find out the ** I'm using is used to treat ** users. Ok, my doctor by law makes sure by urine sample that I'm taking it and now advises that he received a letter from CVS saying they are not going to fill prescription from him because he issues too much ** prescription. He goes by the dot rules and issues the minimum.
CVS is not doctor, they are chemist who know ** are addictive. My point, that's my choice to choose what pain reliever works for me. They are not doctors! I'm going to their competitor for every item I used to buy from CVS. I'm old and have pains, I can't afford 750k surgery. CVS doesn't care about patients. Don't use CVS pharmacy. CVS sells tobacco and alcohol to consumers and not very healthy food. Who are they to criticize me on my doctor’s prescription. They don't know my health issues either. Discrimination and hypocrites.

Like many others posts I have run into on-going challenges trying to deal with the company. Their operating policies seem to change each month or whom you end up getting on the phone. The local CVS stores is better to work with compared to the sadness in trying to work through CVS Specialty. Like others they promised to call back but do not call. They have no record of you ever calling them before! Every event is new with no thread connecting previous conversations. Their pricing policy and changing co-pays are just plain ridiculous. This week they called and told me they were shipping three specialty injections to my doctor and wanted approval to invoice me for $300. I ask them how much it would cost if they only shipped one at a time instead of three at a time. Get this... If they ship one at a time there is zero copay.

In May/June 2017, I was informed at CVS that my out of pocket max had been met and received my medication at $0.0 copay with the exception of my ** inhaler and maybe my ** inhaler. I went to pick up my medications in July and was advised that the majority of the medications had a charge. I advised CVS that there had been an error because my health insurance had been called in error but reinstated back to Mar 1, 2017. I then advised that I needed to speak with Caremark to clear everything up.
I called Caremark and was informed that I had not met my out of pocket max. I explained that my health insurance was canceled in error but reinstated. The rep advised that she would send my account to the research department for further review. In the meantime, I am in need of my medicine. 3 days went by and I had not received a call from Caremark. I called them and was informed that the research was not complete according to the notes.
3 or 4 days later, I received a voicemail from Caremark stating that my out of pocket had been met as of 7/23/17 and that the system was showing my medications at $0.0 dollars. I went to CVS to pick up my medications and only 2 of them were at $0.0. I went to the car and called Caremark back. The rep who left the message stated that any medication ran prior to 7/23/17 needed to be re-ran using 7/23/17. The clerk and CVS ran the meds again and the price remained the same. I was extremely frustrated and left the store.
A few days later I called Caremark and spoke with Kathy who advised me that she was a Senior Rep in the Research department. She advised me that enough research had not been done and that she was going to conduct further research and call me back the following day. I never heard from her so 2 days later which is today, I called Caremark and spoke with a rep who advised that my out of pocket max had not been met and that $73.00 was what we would need to spend out of pocket. I disagreed because I had already received a voicemail stating that the out of pocket had been satisfied. The rep said further research would need to be conducted! I told her she had 3 hours to do the research because I am out of my medicines. She called me back in 3 hours and advised that when CVS had reversed my medications out of their system 3 times because I didn't pick them up. I advised that I didn't pick them up because of the price.
The medicines are on automatic refills. She advised that when the meds were reversed at CVS it caused the system at Caremark to appear that my out of pocket had not been met. I advised her that this has nothing to do with me and that I'm the consumer and it's not required of me to know how their system work. At this time I still don't have my medications. I can see why this company has a bad rating. My next step is a civil lawsuit.
