On Saturday, June 1, 2019, CVS Caremark® became the new prescription benefits manager for the NYC Transit prescription plans. Although the manager has changed, your benefits remain the same.
Starting June 1, new prescriptions and refills on existing prescriptions will be covered by CVS Caremark or, for Medicare-aged retirees enrolled in SilverScript, by SilverScript. Mail order refills must be ordered from the CVS Caremark mail order pharmacy, not from the Express Scripts mail order pharmacy.
The next time you go to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription you will need to show your new CVS Caremark or SilverScript ID card. The next time you get a prescription for a mail order maintenance drug your doctor will need to know that you are using the CVS Caremark mail order pharmacy. If you have not received your new ID card: First make sure the BSC has your address right. Call the BSC at 646-376-0123 or go online to the My MTA portal to check. Next, call CVS Caremark customer care (or SilverScript if you are a Medicare-aged retiree).
- CVS Caremark customer care: 1-855-296-7683 (24/7)
