Saving Time and Money with Mail Service Pharmacy

Mar 9, 2022 | 2022, Access, Health and Wellness


From ordering lunch to laundry detergent, the option of home delivery is often just a few clicks away. Sutter Health Plus members can also have maintenance medications delivered right to their doorstep with free standard shipping through the CVS Caremark® Mail Service Pharmacy. Signing up is simple and can help save time by avoiding an extra trip to the pharmacy.

With CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy, members can fill up to a 100-day supply, as their benefit plan allows, of maintenance prescription drugs for two retail copays. This means members can receive at least a three-month supply of a prescription drug for the cost of a two-month supply. Over time, this may result in hundreds of dollars in savings, particularly for those with multiple eligible prescriptions. Members can also save time by making less trips to the pharmacy throughout the year.

Three Ways to Sign Up
Members can sign up for pharmacy delivery online, by phone, or mail. Once set up, members can ask their providers to send their eligible prescriptions to CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy or log in to the CVS Caremark member portal and select eligible prescriptions to order by mail.
