CVS Caremark Customers to Add Prescription Information to Personal Health Records

CVS Caremark Extends Google Health Partnership Enabling CVS/pharmacy Customers to Add Prescription Information to Personal Health Records.

Customers will have the ability to download their prescription and medication history into their Google Health Personal Health Record, whether they are CVS/Pharmacy customers, CVS Caremark plan participants or visitors to the MinuteClinic locations.

To use the tool, customers must first be signed up for the Prescription Management feature on CVS.com. This feature also allows registered customers to manage their prescriptions online including ordering refills, choosing pickup locations, requesting prescription renewals and receiving alerts on generic alternatives. In order to maintain patient privacy, the consumer making the request for information will need to be authenticated on the cvs.com Web site before any data is shared with Google Health.
