Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, HCPSS staff who are members of CVS/Caremark plans and interested in pursuing weight loss with or without GLP-1 medications will be required to enroll and engage in the CVS Weight Management program. This program will be offered at no cost to those enrolled and provide additional support to help members meet their goals and maintain healthy changes. Members will receive personalized nutrition counseling from a registered dietician in a virtual setting.
Members who choose not to enroll in the program will need to pay the entire cost of the medication and it may not count towards their deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
CVS/Caremark will notify impacted members and their prescribing providers by mail. This notification will include information about how to download the Health Optimizer app to enroll in the CVS Weight Management program.
