Business profile

Updated

CVS Health is a health care company that combines health insurance, pharmacy benefit management, care delivery and retail pharmacy businesses. It was founded in 1963, is headquartered in Rhode Island and is led by President and Chief Executive Officer J. David Joyner.

Its Health Care Benefits segment operates through Aetna and offers medical, pharmacy, dental and behavioral-health plans, along with Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Medicare Part D and Medicaid services. These plans are sold to employers, governments and individuals. In insured plans, CVS Health bears most or all of the medical-cost risk; in administrative-services contracts, the employer or plan sponsor bears most of that risk.
