CVS/pharmacy and Midwest Health Plan Reach Agreement to Keep CVS in Network
WOONSOCKET, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2006--CVS/pharmacy, America's largest retail pharmacy, announced today that it has reached an agreement with Midwest Health Plan that will enable CVS to continue filling prescriptions for Midwest Health Plan members.

"With Dr. Mark Saffer, President of Midwest Health Plan, joining the discussions, we were able to reach a mutually acceptable agreement," said Tom Morrison, Vice President of Managed Care at CVS/pharmacy. "I am pleased that we will be able to continue providing Midwest Health Plan members with the quality pharmacy services that they have come to expect at CVS/pharmacy."
