CVS Health Corporation is a US health-services and retail-pharmacy company headquartered in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. It trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CVS and is a component of the S&P 100 and S&P 500. The company traces its roots to 1963 and adopted the CVS Health name to reflect a broader move from a drugstore chain into an integrated health company. As of 2024 it employed roughly 300,000 people.
The company runs three main businesses. CVS Pharmacy operates its retail drugstore and consumer wellness network. Aetna, led by president Steve Nelson, is its health-insurance arm. Caremark is its pharmacy benefit manager. This combination lets CVS Health cover retail dispensing, insurance coverage, and pharmacy benefits management under one corporate roof, alongside a growing health-care delivery segment.
CVS Health is led by David Joyner, who serves as President and CEO and became Chair of the Board effective January 1, 2026. Brian Newman is Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Practice real CVS questions and get instant feedback before you walk in.
Q: Tell me about yourself, why you want to work here, and about your qualifications.
A: Keep it to a tight 60 to 90 seconds: a line on your background, one or two relevant strengths tied to pharmacy work, and a specific reason CVS interests you. Close by connecting your certification and experience to the role you're applying for.
Q: Tell me a little bit about your experience with using computer systems like Rx30 or other pharmacy dispensing software.
A: Name the specific systems you've used and what you did in them, such as entering prescriptions, running insurance claims, or managing inventory. If you haven't used Rx30, say so honestly and point to how quickly you pick up new software.
Q: Let's say there's a customer whose insurance information is invalid or incorrect. How would you handle this?
A: Stay calm, verify the details on file, and correct obvious entry errors before escalating. Communicate clearly with the customer about next steps and involve the pharmacist when the claim still won't process.
Q: Tell me about a time when you had to handle an error or discrepancy in medication orders.
A: Use the STAR format: describe the situation and the discrepancy you spotted, the action you took to verify and correct it, and the outcome. Emphasize that you flagged it to the pharmacist and prioritized patient safety over speed.
