Should I just give up on psych meds? Nothing seems to help, and #CVSCaremark makes getting refills such a hassle, and the withdrawal symptoms every time I run out are unimaginably horrible. I should just go back to my 50 years of masking and just dealing with it. #mentalhealth
Zepbound (tirzepatide) 5 mg pen
CVS Caremark faces a class-action lawsuit over dropping Zepbound in favor of Wegovy. Plaintiffs cite differences in indications, patient tolerability, and outcomes; experts point out why the two drugs may be complementary.

That breakthrough HIV prevention drug just announced? #CVS already stated it won’t carry it, & #CVSCaremark (their pharmacy insurance) won’t cover it.
Y’all, time to boycott CVS like we did Target.

In a statement, the pharmacy benefit manager pointed to drug pricing as a central challenge for insurers, stating that manufacturer prices are too high. #Zepbound #GLP1 #CVSCaremark #PBM #Prescriptions
The judge ruled that #CVSCaremark failed to report post-sale pharmacy price concessions, especially for Walgreens and Rite Aid,, causing inflated costs to be sent to the federal government. @srpharmassist www.beckershospitalreview.com/legal-regula...
NC Treasurer: #CVSCaremark negotiates with drug manufacturers to save money for the state employees’ health plan, but they’re keeping millions of dollars for themselves. CVS Caremark says they are following the contract and saving money for beneficiaries.
Five Wegovy (semaglutide) injection pens arranged vertically, each labeled with a different dosage: 0.25 mg (green), 0.5 mg (purple), 1 mg (orange), 1.7 mg (blue), and 2.4 mg (dark teal), all for subcutaneous use.
CVS selects Wegovy over Zepbound as preferred obesity treatment, enhancing access and affordability. Lilly emphasizes patient choice via LillyDirect. Implications for obesity care access and cost.

I called and asked for the credentials of the #CVSCaremark employee who denied me coverage. They are a pharmacist. Not an MD. Not a specialist in women’s health. Just a general pharmacist. I’m sure they know better than an actual gynecologist though, hyuk
You know what’s fun? When your doctor prescribes a medication for you and your insurance takes three weeks to respond only to deny it stating that they need proof that this medication works for me. If you’re denying it, how then do I provide proof that it works? #healthfirst #cvscaremark
@unitedhealthcare.sa.com #OptumRX #CVSCaremark #ExpressScripts caught stealing!

I see why people cheered about an insurance company CEO getting murdered. I’m struggling to feel bad about it after I had to try to get info from #CVSCaremark today. I could get info more easily from a turnip.
#CVSCaremark has caused me and other migraine sufferers untold days/weeks/months of unnecessary pain and loss of daily function because they either feel they know more than our doctors, or just care about saving a buck more than our health.
#CVSCaremark #CoverMyMeds was online for 40 minutes (my lunch) trying to complete a Prior Authorization form for a patient. The process is abusive. And people wonder why doctors have had enough...
They’re straight up corrupt.
I’ve got a story about them and fertility meds.
Coverage up to $10k in fertility meds for a policy managed by them.
Meds total through CVS Caremark? $17k
Meds total through 3 other pharmacies for cash price? Range of $5k-7k.
Actual practical coverage? $0 #cvscaremark
I love my mail-order #CVSCaremark
Express Scripts, CVS Caremark, OptumRx, and Prime Therapeutics don't have patient interests at the top of their list....It's all about profits!

#Botox for #migraine (re-🙄) reapproved, appointment tomorrow! 31+ shots in my scalp, neck, & face? BRING IT, CANNOT WAIT! Btw, if you look closely @ my profile picture, the bruises above my eyebrows are from Botox. The pic is 6 yrs old. Oh, and #PBMs can & should go to hell. #CVSCaremark especially.
#CVSCareMark sucks actually.
Things I REFUSE to do today: fill out #CVSCaremark paperwork: "DO YOU KNOW THIS PATIENT SEES MULTIPLE PROVIDERS FOR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES & USES MULTIPLE PHARMACIES? FILL OUT THIS FORM WITH JUDGEY QUESTIONS"
Nope, I already look at PMP & document every visit
Nope nope nope
It shouldn't be this difficult. Get your house in order, #cvscaremark. I also understand why you don't have a Twitter account.
#cvscaremark has wasted hours and hours of my wife's time and increased her stress level beyond reason with their inconsistent explanations.
As if going through IVF isn't stressful enough, #cvscaremark has to make obtaining drugs nearly impossible.
