On November 4, 2026, CVS Health announced its intent to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies to better serve customers, members, and patients. The planned separation would create CVS Health, a healthcare solutions company comprising Aetna, CVS Caremark, CVS Specialty, Oak Street Health, and Signify Health, and CVS Pharmacy, a national retail pharmacy and community healthcare company comprising approximately 9,000 CVS pharmacies, mail pharmacy, MinuteClinic, including virtual care, and the Health100 technology services business.
Currently, members do not need to take any action. Members can continue to fill prescriptions and request refills through the same channels they use today, and prescription delivery, mail-service pharmacy, specialty pharmacy, benefits, services, and support remain available without interruption. The announcement reflects a planned future separation and does not represent an immediate change to members’ pharmacy benefits or services.
