WOONSOCKET, R.I., May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Pharmacy, the retail division of CVS Health (NYSE: CVS), today announced an upgrade to its CarePass membership program, with prescription delivery within hours now free for eligible CarePass members with an eligible prescription through an expanded partnership with the delivery service Shipt.
CarePass is a paid membership program of exclusive benefits that delivers industry-leading value and convenience to CVS Pharmacy customers. With the addition of free same-day delivery CarePass members enjoy access to their vital prescriptions in a matter of hours. Members may also add everyday wellness essentials to their prescription delivery, including select items from categories like vitamins, digestive health, pain relief, first aid, grocery and more. Non-CarePass members may also choose same-day prescription delivery for $7.99.
This upgrade to the prescription delivery benefit is in addition to a list of already-available benefits of a CarePass membership, including access to a 24/7 pharmacist helpline, 20 percent off CVS Health brand products and free 1-2 day shipping on CVS.com. Plus, as a special thank you, members receive a $10 Promo Reward every month, which can be spent on health, beauty, or everyday essentials in the store or online. CarePass launched nationally in August of 2019 and customers may join in-store and at cvs.com/CarePass for just $5 per month, or at a discounted annual membership fee of $48.
“The member response to the CarePass program is tremendous,” said Neela Montgomery, President of CVS Pharmacy and Executive Vice President, CVS Health. “Our goal is to continuously evolve CarePass to meet our customers’ changing needs. By speeding up prescription delivery for CarePass members to a matter of hours, we’re offering additional convenience for the millions of members who’ve opted into the program.”
