What are the hours and when should I call?
CVS Caremark operates the call center for this 866-561-5344 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 424 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the CVS Caremark call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this CVS Caremark phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like CVS Caremark staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call CVS Caremark is Sunday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 291% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 424 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

I need to get the updated shingles shot, but I'm not sure if my insurance is going to cover it or how they will cover it. I know that sometimes my vaccines are covered with my prescription coverage and I have to get them at the pharmacy for them to be covered. Thus, I figured I would call CVS Caremark and see what they had to say. This could potentially save me time and trouble sitting at the pharmacy while they attempted to figure it out. I've been in that position before so I'd prefer not to be again.
When I first called, a recorded agent stated, "Thank you for calling CVS Caremark prescription services. To help you in the best possible way, I’ll need to know who you are. Are you a member, doctor, or pharmacist?" I answered that I was a member, and then it said, "Thank you, now what’s the phone number associated with the account you are calling about?"
Next, it asked me what I was called about, and I answered, "New shingles vaccine," It then said, "Okay, vaccines. One moment. What’s your member ID? If you need a little extra time to get the number, please say wait a minute." I didn't have my user number with me, so I said I didn't have it and then it said, "Let’s try another way, please say or enter a recent prescription number." I didn't have it either, but then the recorded agent said, "Let me transfer you to someone who can help. Please have your member ID or prescription number available so that we can help you. If you would like to speak with an agent, please continue to hold." It took about half a minute and then a very delightful agent named Stephanie picked up. She spoke clear English and was upbeat and very easy to talk to.

Some customer service teams, like that of CVS Caremark, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
