We consistently find that drugs – particularly generic drugs – are far more expensive at CVS and Walgreens than at other pharmacies. The costs at Walmart, Costco, Winn-Dixie and Publix are consistently far lower, as are the costs of most independent pharmacies.

Read More »Our consulting firm – and Coalition – regularly analyze the costs of different pharmacies for our clients. We consistently find that drugs – particularly generic drugs – are far more expensive at CVS and Walgreens than at other pharmacies. The costs at Walmart, Costco, Winn-Dixie and Publix are consistently far lower, as are the costs of most independent pharmacies. In fact, the average generic AWP discount provided by CVS and Walgreens is often in the low 70s (or worse). That’s often even true, when the PBM is Caremark, and the client’s contract with Caremark purportedly provides lower-costs from CVS pharmacies. In contrast, Walmart, Costco, Winn-Dixie and Publix often provide average generic discounts of AWP-79% (or better), as do many independents and other small chains. Note that this means that the cost of generic drugs, on average, are about 50% higher at CVS and Walgreens than at the lower-cost pharmacies! The above facts mean that there is always money to be saved, if health plans can ensure fewer prescriptions are filled at CVS and Walgreens. How much will actually be saved depends on many factors, including: the size of the health plan, the percentage of beneficiaries using the high-cost pharmacies, and how many beneficiaries change their purchasing venues. But regardless, a considerable sum of money will likely be saved if health plans take action to address the high costs charged by CVS and Walgreens.
