CVS Health (CVS) reaffirms 2023 adjusted EPS range of $8.50 to $8.70

CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) disclosed:

CVS Health Corporation (“CVS Health,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) understands that Blue Shield of California has announced today, as part of a new pharmacy care model, that it will use a number of pharmacy service providers beginning in 2024. CVS Caremark will continue to provide specialty pharmacy services. The financial impact associated with the partial termination of the Blue Shield of California contract is not expected to have an impact to our previously issued 2023 guidance and is expected to have an immaterial impact on our longer-term outlook. CVS Caremark remains the leading pharmacy benefit manager in the United States, serving more Americans and more health plans today than any of our competitors. CVS Health believes customers choose CVS Caremark because of its ability to seamlessly administer complex pharmacy and specialty pharmacy benefits with high levels of customer service and satisfaction, as well as our leading cost position. We are pleased to continue to serve Blue Shield of California customers for their specialty pharmaceutical needs. Specialty pharmacy spend now represents over 50% of pharmacy benefit spend in the marketplace. We remain confident in the value that CVS Caremark provides to our customers and that our integrated solutions will continue to resonate in the marketplace as we deliver our leading cost position and service excellence to our customers.
