CVS Waiving Delivery Fees For Meds: Locations In Anne Arundel

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — CVS Health announced Monday that beginning immediately, the drugstore chain will “waive charges for home delivery of prescription medication,” including from locations in Anne Arundel County.

“With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encouraging people at higher risk for COVID-19 complications to stay at home as much as possible, this is a convenient option to avoid coming to the pharmacy for refills of prescriptions,” CVS said in a news release.

The decision by CVS is expected to soon be followed by other drugstore chains as a surge of cases from the virus continues to emerge in the United States.

“Being committed to the welfare of those we serve means being responsive to evolving needs and acting swiftly. This is particularly true in times of uncertainty,” said Troyen Brennan, executive vice president and chief medical officer of CVS Health, in a news release. “The latest steps we’re taking will help ensure patients of all ages have every option available to them when it comes to filling prescriptions.”

The announcement comes in the wake of many health insurance companies — such as Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, UnitedHealth Group and the nation’s Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans — announcing steps to reduce barriers for Americans to be tested for the new coronavirus.

In many cases, the health care insurers said they were waiving out-of-pocket costs for tests surrounding the coronavirus.

CVS has more than 9,900 locations nationwide.
