The Journal quoted CVS chief executive David Joyner saying the businesses would be better served by a split. It reported that both companies would be publicly traded: CVS Pharmacy would include retail stores, mail order and MinuteClinic, while CVS Health would retain insurance, Caremark and other healthcare assets.

CVS did not respond to Reuters' request for comment. The reported plan would unwind the integrated model built through the Caremark and Aetna acquisitions, while some commercial agreements between the two businesses would remain.
