“ShopRite is excited to become a preferred provider for Aetna
with the ability to offer Aetna Medicare Part D members
prescription copays as low as $1 on some medications. We know
affordable prescriptions and the convenience of one-stop shopping
for groceries and pharmacy needs is important to our customers,”
said Karen Meleta, a spokeswoman for ShopRite.
“We want our members to take the medications their doctors
prescribe. Our goal is to make that as easy and convenient as
possible,” said Nancy Cocozza, president of Aetna’s Medicare
business. “Whether our members participate in a stand-alone
prescription drug plan or a Medicare Advantage plan, they can save
money and time by filling their prescriptions while they shop.”

pharmacies. And the ShopRite Pharmacy App allows customers to
request refills and manage prescriptions online. These stores also
provide customers with immunizations, prescription diabetes
medication at no extra cost, and specialty pharmacy services to
help patients manage complex medication regimens. Many ShopRite
