WOONSOCKET, R.I., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Health® (NYSE:CVS) today announced a revamp of its weight management program, making it easier for eligible adults to access clinical care, navigate medication costs and get ongoing support for GLP-1 therapy.

Through CVS Health's connected care model, broader direct to consumer access to prescription drugs is easier to deliver. For GLP-1s, it's simple for eligible patients to use our scheduler technology to connect with licensed clinicians 24 hours a day through MinuteClinic®, access GLP-1 medications through CVS Pharmacy®, receive personalized pharmacist support, and use digital tools to identify available savings options. No separate memberships, no mail-order-only access, and no fragmented handoffs.

• We're making it easier for patients to navigate and find the most affordable option available to them. By early fourth quarter of 2026, eligible Zepbound and Foundayo patients will be able to view transparent pricing, including cash-pay options, in the CVS Health app for as early as same-day pickup in one of our 9,000 locations. This is in addition to already having oral and injectable formulations of Wegovy available, making CVS Pharmacy a convenient, affordable destination for all FDA approved GLP-1s.

• New offerings include expanded pharmacy support designed to help patients access these treatments and stay on them, and a new $29 MinuteClinic online visit, with no membership or recurring monthly fee, that connects eligible patients with licensed clinicians who can evaluate and, where clinically appropriate, prescribe GLP-1 therapy.

"Weight management is a deeply personal health journey, and too many people face barriers before they start treatment," said Sid Tenneti, Senior Vice President and Interim President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness. "CVS Health combines clinical care, pharmacy access, digital tools and trusted pharmacist support to make that journey simpler, more affordable, and more connected. Our collaboration with Lilly is one more way we're expanding direct to consumer access to help eligible patients find options that work best for them."

CVS Pharmacy accepts a wide range of third-party prescription discount cards, manufacturer coupons and manufacturer vouchers to help reduce out-of-pocket costs. At CVS Pharmacy, the out-of-pocket cost for a GLP-1 medication can be as low as $25 a month through commercial insurance with a manufacturer coupon for eligible patients, or $149 for those without insurance who utilize a manufacturer voucher for qualifying medications and doses.

At $29 per visit with no recurring membership or monthly fee, MinuteClinic's care model is built to make a first step toward weight management straightforward and affordable. Patients begin with an online visit with a licensed clinician, who reviews their health history and weight-management goals before determining whether a GLP-1 therapy is the right fit. Those who start treatment can schedule follow-up visits as needed for dose adjustments, side-effect support and ongoing monitoring.

According to the CVS Health 2025 Rx Report, nearly half of consumers prioritize personalized care at the pharmacy and 80 percent of patients prefer face-to-face engagements over digital, highlighting the importance of providing options to consumers. As more patients turn to GLP-1 medications, a CVS pharmacist is available in person at 9,000 locations to help them start and stay on therapy, at no additional cost.
