Specialty Medications CVS Caremark Specialty Pharmacy Services ( CVS Specialty ) is the exclusive provider for Specialty Medications under the Prescription Drug Coverage. Specialty Medications include select injectable and oral medicat ions that target and treat specific chronic and/or genetic conditions. They are bioengineered proteins, blood derived products, and complex molecules that generally require special handling and dispensing. Prescriptions for these medications are not filled at a retail pharmacy using your CVS Caremark Prescription Drug Card. Instead, you must obtain Specialty Medications through the Specialty Pharmacy Program. The Plan participates in the CVS Caremark Specialty Guideline Management Program, which is designe d to promote the appropriate use of Specialty Medications. The Program starts with a review and approval process overseen by clinical specialists at CVS Specialty . When Specialty Medications are prescribed, CVS Specialty will contact your physician or Alli ed Health Professional directly to obtain the necessary clinical information that will enable them to make approval decisions based on drug - specific guidelines. CVS Specialty must approve the use of all Specialty Medications, and will discuss alternatives with your physician or Allied Health Professional if any proposed medication does not meet with the applicable guidelines. Following approval, Specialty Medications may be obtained only through CVS Specialty . A list of covered Specialty Medications can be obtained by calling CaremarkConnect ® toll - free at 800 - 237 - 2767.
