Default CVS Planes

I recently got Hired to CVS and on the company Intranet there was a picture of a plane which Has the CVS colors. here is the article that went allong with the picture.



On June 22, The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA) held its annual Washington, D.C. “Fly-In” on Capitol Hill.

The goal of the event was to educate members of Congress and their staff about the PBM business model and highlight the tools PBMs use to help clients and beneficiaries drive down the cost of prescription drug coverage. PCMA had representatives from eight member companies and they took part in more than 50 meetings throughout the day. CVS Caremark Government Affairs staff participated in the event. "Fly-In" attendees spoke about anti-PBM legislation that would restrict the use of tools like mail order pharmacy and audit to drive down costs. This advocacy event was an effective way to communicate that PBMs are committed to reducing healthcare costs and improving lives.
