So maybe this is naive, but CVS has a walk in clinic in nearly every city, and is seemingly socially conscious enough to better the health of its patrons (see getting rid of cigarettes). Would they be able to do something with an insurance company and network of clinics that would be beneficial for consumers?
- positr0n 9y agoIt does seem like they could capture the profit (and split it with consumers in the form of lower rates in a bid to get market share?) of simple dr/urgent care visits. Have a cold? Visit a CVS walk in clinic, get tested for flu/strep, and pick up any prescriptions all in the same visit.
- joezydeco 9y agoCVS was already partnered with Aetna on some of this. My company is self-insured but uses Aetna as the management company. I have a CVS discount card that gives me something like 20-30% off on generic/OTC drugs and CVS-branded health items from the store.
