RCBP offers you a CVS Caremark®  Mail Service Pharmacy 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 Pharmacy® for the same cost as using CVS Caremark® Mail Service Pharmacy for long-term medications used to treat certain conditions such as:

    • Asthma
    • Diabetes
    • High blood pressure
    • High cholesterol

You’re limited to the initial prescription and two refills at a CVS 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 Service Pharmacy.

Submitting Your Prescriptions to CVS Caremark Mail Service 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 90-day supply and should be sent to the CVS Caremark Mail Service 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.
