HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2005--Aetna (NYSE:AET) and CVS Corporation (NYSE:CVS) today announced they intend to form a strategic alliance to make helpful information about the new Medicare prescription drug program readily available to Medicare beneficiaries in their communities. Aetna and CVS plan to develop programs to help consumers understand their new prescription drug coverage options and make better, more informed decisions. The new Medicare Part D prescription drug plans offer Medicare beneficiaries an unprecedented level of support to help meet their prescription drug needs, but because this is a new program, beneficiaries will have questions about their options. As a result of the Aetna and CVS alliance, they will find clear and simple information at their local pharmacy and in their communities, where they can easily access it.
