[Blindtlk] Walmart offers Talking Prescription containers

[Beverly Hunter]

Dear colleagues: 

We are excited to let you know that today Walmart announced that it is offering the ScripTalk Talking Prescription program on a pilot basis to its mail order customers with visual impairments and to Walmart pharmacy customers in three stores.  The press release is available here:  http://lflegal.com/2012/06/walmart-prescription/

This is the first time in the United States that a national retailer has offered Talking Prescription labels to the blind community on a national basis.  Walmart is working with the ACB, AFB and CCB through the Structured Negotiations process on this important health, safety, and privacy initiative.  We are also working with the other national pharmacies on these issues.

Inquiries about talking pill bottles or accessible prescription information in connection with Walmart or any other retailer or prescription provider should be directed to Scott Grimes in Linda's office.  Scott can be reached through the following email address or toll free telephone number:   prescription.access at gdblegal.com or 1-800-822-5000. 

Walmart mail order customers or customers at the three pilot stores (listed in press release) may contact En-Vision America at 800-890-1180 for a free ScripTalk Talking prescription reader.

Walmart mail order pharmacy can be reached on line at: http://www.walmart.com/cp/Pharmacy-Home-Delivery/1042239 or by calling toll free 1-800-2REFILL (1-800-273-3455)
