RCBP offers you a CVS/caremark mail service benefit for covered prescription drugs that you take on an on-going basis, also called maintenance medications. You also have the option to order your prescriptions via mail, internet or phone.

Long-Term Maintenance Medications

You can get up to a 90-day refill at a CVS retail pharmacy for the same cost as using CVS/caremark mail order pharmacy for long-term medications used to treat certain conditions such as:

    • Asthma
    • Diabetes
    • High blood pressure
    • High cholesterol

Your’re limited to the initial prescription and two refills at a CVS/caremark pharmacy. You can’t get a 90-day refill at a network retail pharmacy other than a CVS/pharmacy. If a CVS/pharmacy is not available in your area, you’ll need to use CVS/Caremark mail-order pharmacy.

Submitting Your Prescriptions to CVS/caremark Mail Order Pharmacy

If you have a new prescription that you will be using on an ongoing basis, ask your doctor to write two prescriptions for you.

    • The first prescription should be for a 34-day supply that you can use immediately at any network retail pharmacy
    • The second prescription should be used for a three-month supply and should be sent to the CVS/caremark mail order pharmacy

Once you establish that you will be using this medication on an ongoing basis, send the second prescription to the mail-order pharmacy using the Mail Order Form.

Please follow the instructions on the form carefully to avoid any processing delays. Your order will be filled as indicated on your prescription, so just double check that it is correct. Finally, allow three weeks for processing and receiving your medication.
