Learn about long-term supply
Learn about long-term supply
Your plan offers a long-term supply at select retail pharmacies. Some drugs can be shipped to you through CVS Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy. A long-term supply is:
- Up to a 90-day prescription if you have a prescription drug plan (PDP)
- Up to a 100-day prescription if you have a Medicare Advantage prescription drug plan (MAPD)
This may be a great option for drugs you take regularly. We call these “maintenance” drugs. They’re used to treat chronic or long-term conditions, like high blood pressure.
Talk to your doctor to see if a long-term supply is right for you.
Federal or state limitations may apply.
