ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document has two parts. The first part consists of this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and the notes
offered. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, provides more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. If the description
of the offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus
supplement.
Before purchasing any notes, you should carefully read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with the
additional information described under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information" in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying
prospectus.
We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide any information or to make any representations other than those contained
or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or in any free writing prospectuses filed by us with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information
that others may give you. We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.
You should not assume that the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or in
any free writing prospectus is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates. Except as otherwise specified, the terms "CVS Health," the
"Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to CVS Health Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom
All references in this prospectus supplement to Regulations or Directives include, in relation to the United Kingdom ("UK"), those Regulations or
Directives as they form part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 or have been implemented in UK domestic law,
as appropriate.
The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail
investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client
as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97
(as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1)
of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation (as defined below). Consequently no key information document
required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor
in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any Member State of the EEA will be made pursuant to an
exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. Accordingly any person making or intending
to make an offer in that Member State of notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement may only do so to legal
entities which are qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Regulation, provided that no such offer of notes shall require the Company or any of the
underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus
Regulation, in each case in relation to such offer.
Neither the Company nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes to any legal entity which is not a
qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Neither the

S-ii
Table of Contents
Company nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes through any financial intermediary, other than
offers made by the underwriters, which constitute the final placement of the notes contemplated in this prospectus supplement.
Each person in a Member State of the EEA or the UK who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any notes under, the offers to

the public contemplated in prospectus supplement, or to whom the notes are otherwise made available, will be deemed to have represented, warranted,
acknowledged and agreed to and with each underwriter and us that it and any person on whose behalf it acquires notes is: (1) a "qualified investor" within
the meaning of Article 2(e) of the Prospectus Regulation; and (2) not a "retail investor" (as defined above).
The expression "Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended).
Any distributor subject to MiFID II subsequently offering, selling or recommending the notes is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the notes and determining the appropriate distribution channels for the purposes of the MiFID II product governance rules under
Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 ("Delegated Directive"). Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representations or warranties as
to a Distributor's compliance with the Delegated Directive.
Notice to Prospective Investors in the United Kingdom
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are for distribution only to persons who: (i) have professional experience in matters
relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the

Financial Promotion Order; (iii) are outside the United Kingdom; or (iv) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity
(within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 in connection with the issue or sale of any securities may otherwise
lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). This document is directed

SUMMARY
Overview
CVS Health Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is the nation's premier health innovation company helping people on their path to better
health. Whether in one of its pharmacies or through its health services and plans, CVS Health is pioneering a bold new approach to total health by
making quality care more affordable, accessible, simple and seamless. CVS Health is community-based and locally focused, engaging consumers with
the care they need when and where they need it. The Company has approximately 9,900 retail locations, approximately 1,100 walk-in medical
clinics, a leading pharmacy benefits manager with approximately 105 million plan members, a dedicated senior pharmacy care business serving more
than one million patients per year and expanding specialty pharmacy services. CVS Health also serves an estimated 37 million people through
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/64803/000119312520091003/d902003d424b2.htm[3/31/2020 8:16:28 AM]

424B2
traditional, voluntary and consumer-directed health insurance products and related services, including expanding Medicare Advantage offerings and a
leading standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan ("PDP"). The Company believes its innovative health care model increases access to
quality care, delivers better health outcomes and lowers overall health care costs.
On November 28, 2018 (the "Aetna Acquisition Date"), the Company acquired Aetna for a combination of cash and CVS Health stock (the
"Aetna Acquisition"). The Company acquired Aetna to help improve the consumer health care experience by combining Aetna's health care benefits
products and services with CVS Health's retail locations, walk-in medical clinics and integrated pharmacy capabilities with the goal of becoming the
new, trusted front door to health care. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Aetna shareholders received $145.00 in cash and 0.8378 CVS Health
shares for each Aetna share. The transaction valued Aetna at approximately $212 per share or approximately $70 billion. Including the assumption of
Aetna's debt, the total value of the transaction was approximately $78 billion. The Company financed the cash portion of the purchase price through a
combination of cash on hand and by issuing approximately $45 billion of new debt, including senior notes and term loans.
On October 10, 2018, the Company and Aetna entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") that allowed the
Company's proposed acquisition of Aetna to proceed, provided Aetna agreed to sell its individual standalone PDPs. As part of the agreement reached
with the DOJ, Aetna entered into a purchase agreement with a subsidiary of WellCare Health Plans, Inc. for the divestiture of Aetna's standalone
PDPs effective December 31, 2018. On November 30, 2018, the Company completed the sale of Aetna's standalone PDPs. The Company provided
administrative services to, and retained the financial results of, the divested plans through 2019. Subsequent to 2019, the Company will no longer
retain the financial results of the divested plans. Aetna's standalone PDPs had an aggregate of 2.5 million members as of December 31, 2019.
As a result of the Aetna Acquisition, the Company added the Health Care Benefits segment. Certain aspects of Aetna's operations, including
products for which the Company no longer solicits or accepts new customers, such as large case pensions and long-term care insurance products, are
included in the Company's Corporate/Other segment.
Effective for the first quarter of 2019, the Company realigned the composition of its segments to correspond with changes to its operating model
and reflect how its Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews information and manages the business. As a result of this realignment, the Company's
SilverScript® PDP moved from the Pharmacy Services segment to the Health Care Benefits segment. In addition, the Company moved Aetna's mail
order and specialty pharmacy operations from the Health Care Benefits segment to the Pharmacy Services segment. Segment financial information
has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect these changes.
The Company has four reportable segments: Pharmacy Services, Retail/LTC, Health Care Benefits and Corporate/Other.

excluding, the redemption date on such notes.

See "Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption."

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves risks. You should carefully consider all of the risk factors described below and the information included elsewhere in
this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the other documents incorporated by reference herein and therein before deciding to invest in
the notes. We also urge you to consider carefully the factors set forth under the heading "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements"
in this prospectus supplement.
Risks Related to CVS Health
See "Risk Factors" in CVS Health's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, incorporated by reference herein, which
includes a discussion of the material risks related to CVS Health. See "Where You Can Find More Information" in this prospectus supplement.
Risks Related to the Notes
The notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries, which includes the liabilities of Aetna and its subsidiaries.
The notes are our obligations exclusively and not of any of our subsidiaries. Therefore, the notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our
subsidiaries, including the indebtedness of Aetna and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately $8.2 billion aggregate principal
amount of such indebtedness issued by subsidiaries that would rank effectively senior to the notes.
If active trading markets for the notes do not develop, you may not be able to resell them.
The notes are new issues of securities for which there currently are no trading markets. Although the underwriters have informed us that they intend
to make markets in the notes, they are not obligated to do so, and any such market-making activities may be discontinued at any time without notice. As a
result, we cannot provide any assurances that trading markets for the notes will ever develop or be maintained. Further, we can make no assurances as to
the liquidity of any markets that may develop for the notes, your ability to sell your notes or the prices at which you will be able to sell your notes. Future
trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, the
condition of the industries in which we operate generally, the then-current ratings assigned to the notes and the market for similar securities. Accordingly,
you may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the notes for an indefinite period of time. We do not intend to apply for listing or
quotation of the notes on any securities exchange or automated quotation system.
