Is this true?!

Um...no. Maybe a few individual plans.

Apparently, they told a patient that they're no longer contracted with BXBS and the copay just skyrocketed.

Just spoke to a cvs pharmacist for a transfer. When asked about it, he said they dropped it 3 years ago and never recovered. Man, no wonder they're cutting hours lol

Odd. BCBS used to be the insurance their employees got before the aetna merger.

Blue Cross Blue Shield is not a single plan, but many different ones, and they use different PBMs, so I am not surprised if in some states BCBS is accepted at CVS and in some it is not.

In Texas is has been like that for quite some time.

Examples: BCBS FEP uses Caremark as the PBM so I'm sure CVS takes that.

BCBS "BlueAdvantage Adminstrators of Arkansas" uses ESI (Optum in 2020) and is one of the Walmart employee plans but not accepted at CVS.

No- bcbs doesn’t contract on behalf of Walmart. Walmart contracts with ESI directly. BCBS just happens to be their medical benefit but it’s unrelated to their rx benefit.

Not sure if FEP contracts directly or what.
