Don't take this the wrong way... CVS is a terrible company. They wipe their ass on their employees and flush them down the toilet as it suits them. They would rather run the place like a sweatshop than spend the cash to put a minimum wage cashier in the pharmacy. That being said, it's an undisputed fact that they save employers money. They are a big enough company that they can administer the plans more efficiently and have significant negotiating power with drug companies. Yeah you might pay a 5 dollar co-pay at Kroger and a 10 dollar co-pay at CVS with your one specific insurance plan getting one specific drug, and cash prices are always the highest at CVS, but at the end of they day they lower healthcare costs as a whole. If they didn't they wouldn't administer over 2,000 plans and save their average client $2,000/year per insured person.
