CVS Caremark Extends Google Health

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Caremark this week expanded its partnership with Google Health by providing CVS/pharmacy customers the ability to securely download their prescription and medication histories to a Google Health Account.

CVS Caremark has been a Google Health partner since it was launched in May 2008.

Consumers using CVS Caremark for pharmacy benefit management services can already store, organize and manage their prescription history information online using Google Health. In addition, patients who receive treatment at MinuteClinic, the retail-based health clinic subsidiary of CVS Caremark, can also securely import their visit summaries into their Google Health Accounts.

Consumers filling prescriptions at CVS/pharmacy stores can now add their medication history to their online medical record directly from CVS.com.

Besides third-party health care providers and insurers, retail pharmacies listed as partners with Google Health are Drug Fair, Longs Drug Stores, Walgreens and Meijer.
