There’s no doubt about it. When it comes to their health, employees want convenient options to care for themselves and their families. So, wouldn’t it be great if these convenient options also came at a lower cost? Meritain Health® is proud to assist by offering in-network access to MinuteClinic and CVS HealthHUB as a standard part of the Aetna® network. Both care options mean easy access to affordable care—often at a lower cost than a visit to the emergency room or trip to urgent care.

What’s inside CVS HealthHUB?
How does a CVS HealthHUB differ? Available at select CVS Pharmacy locations, CVS HealthHUB offers many of the same services found at MinuteClinic. However, in addition, they provide expanded services, such as pharmacy support and focused chronic condition support. For instance, you can find targeted support to help with:
-
- Managing diabetes.
- Quitting smoking and other tobacco products.
- Assessing risk for sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea.
You’ll also see an expanded range of products, from supplements to various health care equipment. These may include CPAP machines, connected devices, personal sound amplifiers and emergency response products. At CVS HealthHUB, you may also receive care from licensed professionals, in addition to nurse practitioners and physician associates.
At Meritain Health, we’re proud to be the only third party administrator (TPA) able to provide CVS offerings as part of our network solutions.
