CVS Health has announced the national rollout of CVS Pay, which is now part of the CVS Pharmacy mobile app, and integrates payment, prescription pick-up and the ExtraCare loyalty program all into one scan at checkout.

"We know that our customers lead busy lives, so our digital efforts are focused on making it easier for them to do simple but important things, like picking up prescriptions. That's why we are thrilled to launch CVS Pay to CVS Pharmacy app users nationwide," said Brian Tilzer, senior vice president and chief digital officer of CVS Health. "For our customers, CVS Pay offers more than just a payment solution: it's a seamless, quick and easy user experience that makes picking up prescriptions and shopping at CVS Pharmacy even more convenient."

CVS Pay first launched as a pilot program this August in the New York City metro area.

CVS Pharmacy customers can begin using CVS Pay by adding any credit or debit card into the CVS Pharmacy app. They can also add their Health Savings Account and Flexible Savings Account cards.

At the store, the associate will scan the barcode from the customer's app, ring up the purchases, let the customer choose a payment method from those stored within the app, and then process the payment. All verifications for prescriptions and payment take place directly in the app, so transactions are quick and easy. Once complete, the customer will receive a confirmation of payment in the app.
