- Q: How does CVS Caremark ensure the security of my prescription information?
- A:On Caremark.com, we require you to use a browser with the latest security technology, 128-bit encryption, to ensure that your credit/debit card and personal information are safely transmitted and received. When contacting us by phone, we verify the identity of each and every caller by requiring a name, ID number, date of birth and the number or name of a previously filled CVS Caremark prescription.
- Q: Is it safe for me to give my credit/debit card and personal information online?

- Q: Do Caremark.com and the CVS Caremark phone ordering system comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)?
- A:We take your privacy very seriously. We comply with HIPAA guidelines and continually monitor and review our policies as HIPAA is revised. Recent enhancements to the system have increased the security and privacy of your prescription information and by requiring a login for orders via Caremark.com, we allow individual members to limit access to their prescription information.

- Q: How can I tell if my connection to Caremark.com is secure?
- A:When logged on to Caremark.com, you’ll see a security icon, usually a padlock, in the lower right-hand corner of your screen. If the symbol is there, it means that the data you submit on that page is encrypted. Encrypted data helps us prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your data while it is being transferred to CVS Caremark.
- Q: What does the FoundSecure™ seal on the bottom of the Caremark.com website mean?
