WOONSOCKET, R.I. — The Aetna Connected Plan with CVS Health is a new plan offering that will deliver CVS Health and Aetna capabilities to the metro Atlanta market to help members access care when and where they need it and at a lower cost than a traditional plan.

The plan pairs the Aetna Whole Health Emory Healthcare Network & Northside Hospital System network with access to expanded services at CVS Pharmacy. Members can access quality in-network providers and convenient pharmacy services in their community, including CVS Pharmacy and MinuteClinic locations, plus other in-network pharmacy and walk-in clinic* locations in the metro Atlanta area.

With a convenient and connected member experience, mid-sized businesses (101-300 employees) can see up to 15% targeted savings by pairing the Aetna Connected Plan with CVS Health with the Aetna Whole Health network.

“The blend of CVS Health and Aetna supports our metro Atlanta members on their health care journey through a new, innovative health care model that is more connected, convenient and affordable,” said Cindy Follmer, President, Georgia and Gulf States Market, Aetna . “This plan brings together our medical, pharmacy and retail capabilities, allowing members to get the care they need, where and when they need it.”

To illustrate better-coordinated care with the Aetna Connected Plan with CVS Health :

• A member can book an appointment at a MinuteClinic location for both their acute care needs and diagnosis and management of chronic conditions, such as diabetes. Information from the MinuteClinic visit can then be sent to the member’s primary care provider with the member’s consent.
• Members’ prescriptions can have 90-day refills, and they can set their preferences to have CVS Pharmacy deliver their medicine directly to their door for free.
• The plan provides greater choice for members. In addition to CVS Pharmacy , the Aetna Connected Plan with CVS Health includes the ability to choose other in-network retail pharmacies.

“By providing a variety of access points, including traditional primary care physician, digital, virtual and local resources like MinuteClinic through the integration of Aetna and CVS Health , members have more choices to help impact their health outcomes by receiving health care how, where and when they want it,” said Dr. Sandra Levy, Senior Director, Clinical Solutions, Georgiaand Gulf States Market, Aetna.
