Dear Direct Store Delivery Supplier: The transition of Longs Drug retail stores, distribution centers and other operations to CVS Pharmacy facilities is in process. CVS Caremark acquired Longs Drug through a stock purchase approach and therefore owns all assets and liabilities of Longs Drug, including any outstanding invoices, uncollected receivables and supplier disputes. All merchandise deliveries directly to stores as of February 1, 2009 must be billed to CVS Pharmacy using the guidelines listed below. Failure to comply will result in delays in payments to your company. A complete listing of the Longs Drug stores and the corresponding CVS store number is available on the CVS corporate website, www.cvssuppliers.com. Invoice Billings CVS Pharmacy requires you to present invoices electronically using an EDI 810 electronic invoice. CVS Pharmacy EDI 810 mapping guidelines can be obtained at www.cvssuppliers.com or you can contact Jennifer Lasorsa in our EDI Department at (401) 770-4297 or via E-mail at EDIAPMailbox@cvs.com. If your company is not EDI capable, invoices must be routed through third party service providers that convert your invoices into an EDI 810 Electronic Invoice complying with CVS Pharmacy mapping guidelines. Contact Jennifer Lasorsa in our EDI Department for preferred service providers. If you currently provide product to existing CVS stores and are on the CVS DEX Receiving and Payment process, and you provide product to Longs Drug stores, these Longs Drug stores will not be DEX capable on February 1, 2009. A new supplier number will be required within CVS systems to receive the product into the stores and for payment to be made after February 1, 2009. Contact Julian Johnson at 401-770-2947 and JEJohnson@cvs.com for the new supplier number. If you currently provide Longs Drug and CVS Pharmacy with product and are not a DEX payment type supplier, you will need to use the CVS Pharmacy vendor number identifier and CVS store number on all electronic invoices submitted as of February 1, 2009. Correspondence Supplier disputes and correspondence can be communicated to the CVS DSD Department, Julian Johnson at 401-770-2947 and JEJohnson@cvs.com. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
