"Our plans bring together the quality coverage of Aetna, plus the convenience of CVS, all at an affordable price," said Anand Shukla, Senior Vice President, Individual and Family Plans, Aetna. "Our members can access quality care through Aetna's network of doctors, hospitals and specialists; affordable care with $0 preventive care, $0 virtual care and $0 MinuteClinic visits; and the convenience of 24/7 access to virtual care and choice of over 1,000 MinuteClinic locations nationwide.

New Benefits for 2024

Over-the-counter items

Beginning January 1, 2024, subscribers enrolled in an Aetna CVS Health Individual and Family Plan will now have up to a $100 annual allowance, or $25/quarter, for over-the-counter CVS Health® brand products at CVS retail stores and online – from pain relievers and cold medicine to bandages and more.

Members can conveniently shop for eligible products in-store, online or over the phone. And the member does not have to do anything additional – just be an enrolled member.

"This unique benefit to our individual and family plans is a critical next step in providing a continuum of care for members," said Shukla. "Over-the-counter items are an important part of health care. Easier access to and helping with the cost of these items will contribute to improved health outcomes. This is how healthier happens together."
