GET DAILY SIGNALSWalmart (WMT) Ending CVS Partnership
Walmart says it will end its involvement with the network of commercial and Medicaid pharmacies run by CVS Health Corp. The reason was a disagreement on pricing.
"At a time when everyone is working hard to find ways to reduce healthcare costs, Walmart's requested rates would ultimately result in higher costs for our clients and consumers," Derica Rice, president of CVS Caremark, said in a statement. CVS said it has requested Walmart to remain in its networks through April 30 and does not expect the split to have a material impact on its 2019 financial results.
