CVS/pharmacy Making it Easier for Customers to Access Prescription
Medications in Communities Affected by Hurricane Sandy
WOONSOCKET, R.I., Nov. 15,
2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its continuing efforts to help
communities affected by Hurricane Sandy, CVS/pharmacy is waiving
prescription copayments, deductibles and other financial liability
related to prescription medications for patients who cannot pay at
selected stores in the hardest hit neighborhoods in New York City and surrounding
communities. This copay waiver program, which began on
Monday, November 12 and will run
until the end of the month, is being undertaken with the
cooperation of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
the New York City Office of the Mayor and the New York City
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

In addition, CVS/pharmacy is operating a mobile pharmacy at the
site of its closed store at 88-07 Rockaway Beach Boulevard in
Rockaway Beach, NY. This facility
will also participate in the copay waiver program.
This program is not a blanket waiver of all copayments. Requests
to cover medication costs will be evaluated on a case-by-case
basis.
The stores participating in the copay waiver program are listed
below.
