Through December 31, 2022, CVS Caremark will manage the CDPHP prescription mail order program. Current users can log in to Caremark to view their mail order prescriptions.
Starting January 1, 2023, Walmart Home Delivery will be the new CDPHP mail order pharmacy. If you currently use the CVS Caremark mail order service for medications, you will need to create an account with Walmart Home Delivery before any prescriptions can be filled with this new vendor.
