CVS here, but the chain doesn't have a national contract with Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
Loads of people around here have health insurance through BCBSIL.
A local guy who was a pharmacist at a CVS in another town, opened up a tiny building on abandoned property right on the main highway through town.
Not a fill service place, but scrips are filled & they have a drive-thru.
Now we have 2 pharmacies in town, so CVS doesn't have a monopoly.
