CVS Caremark: Why Transparency Matters in Pharmacy Benefits

$CVSPress releaseOct 19, 2026, 8:45 AM ETRead the release

CVS Health published a promotional piece highlighting a CVS Caremark-Employee Benefit News survey on PBM transparency, in which 87% of employers said improving cost transparency is one of the biggest opportunities for PBMs. Only 24% of surveyed employers believe medication costs are fully transparent, a gap CVS Caremark positions its tools — TrueCost, myPBM, and expanded reporting — as addressing. The release also promotes CVS CostVantage, a reimbursement model CVS describes as aligning pharmacy payment more closely with underlying drug costs.
