Dear Fellow Federationists:
We wanted to share some good news about the availability of prescription
information. CVS/pharmacy has announced that it now provides ScripTalk

through its online pharmacy, CVS.com. The ScripTalk labels provide a
convenient way to access information on prescription labels privately and
independently for individuals who cannot read print. The ScripTalk labels
are free to CVS.com pharmacy customers who are blind or have low vision.
Customers can obtain from Envision America a free ScripTalk reader, which is
needed to hear the information on the ScripTalk label. To request that the
labels be attached to your prescriptions ordered through CVS.com, call
CVS.com at 888-227-3403. To obtain your free ScripTalk reader, call
Envision America at 800-890-1180. It is recommended that you call CVS.com

I dunno - how much trouble do you want to stir up? Here is the original
release that I saw a couple of days ago -
VS/pharmacy Now Offers "Talking" Prescription Labels for Individuals with
Vision Impairments Through its Online Pharmacy
New service on CVS.com is the result of a collaboration with state and
national organizations for the blind
Woonsocket, Rhode Island (March 18, 2014) - CVS/pharmacy announced today
that it now provides ScripTalk talking prescription labels for
prescriptions ordered for home delivery through its online pharmacy,
CVS.com. The ScripTalk labels provide a safe and convenient way to access
information on prescription labels for individuals who cannot read standard
print. The ScripTalk labels are free to CVS.com pharmacy customers who are
blind or visually impaired. Customers can also obtain a free ScripTalk
reader from Envision America that will enable them to listen to the
information on the ScripTalk label.
"We are pleased to offer the ScripTalk service to our online pharmacy
customers who are visually impaired," said Josh Flum, Senior Vice President
of Retail Pharmacy at CVS Caremark. "Enhancing access to important
information about prescriptions is in keeping with our purpose of helping
people on their path to better health."
Today's announcement is the result of collaboration between CVS/pharmacy,
the American Foundation for the Blind, American Council of the Blind and
California Council of the Blind. These groups applauded CVS/pharmacy's
actions.
"The lack of accessible labels on prescription drug containers puts people
with vision loss at serious risk of medication mishaps," said Paul
Schroeder, Vice President of Programs & Policy at the American Foundation
for the Blind. "We applaud CVS/pharmacy for taking steps to provide speech
access to label information for customers with vision loss along with its
willingness to evaluate methods to improve large print labels."
"This agreement is a positive step that allows for a greater level
of privacy, safety, and independence for blind and visually impaired
Americans of all ages who take prescription medications," said Kim
Charlson, president of the American Council of the Blind.
"The California Council of the Blind applauds CVS's willingness to offer
access to the information on prescription medication labels. As a result of
this initiative, persons who are blind or visually impaired who use CVS
mail order to fill their prescription needs will have the same direct, and
independent access to label information as do sighted customers," stated
Donna Pomerantz, President, California Council of the Blind.
To request the labels with a prescription ordered through cvs.com, the
number to call at cvs.com is 888-227-3403. Questions about the ScripTalk
system should be directed to Envision America at 800-890-1180. It is
recommended that you call cvs.com first.

My thing is it was a collaboration for years on the Envision has come to both NFB and ACB, and I have given beta testing on it, and so has other NFB members, I actually heard of this earlier in the month when the NFB of NY was in Buffalo and that was the 9-11 of this month. So maybe can we put both the NFB and ACB applaud, even though this is an NFB Division?
Just asking.

Information
I dunno - how much trouble do you want to stir up? Here is the original
release that I saw a couple of days ago -
VS/pharmacy Now Offers "Talking" Prescription Labels for Individuals with
Vision Impairments Through its Online Pharmacy
New service on CVS.com is the result of a collaboration with state and
national organizations for the blind
Woonsocket, Rhode Island (March 18, 2014) - CVS/pharmacy announced today
that it now provides ScripTalk talking prescription labels for prescriptions
ordered for home delivery through its online pharmacy, CVS.com. The
ScripTalk labels provide a safe and convenient way to access information on
prescription labels for individuals who cannot read standard print. The
ScripTalk labels are free to CVS.com pharmacy customers who are blind or
visually impaired. Customers can also obtain a free ScripTalk reader from
Envision America that will enable them to listen to the information on the
ScripTalk label.
"We are pleased to offer the ScripTalk service to our online pharmacy
customers who are visually impaired," said Josh Flum, Senior Vice President
of Retail Pharmacy at CVS Caremark. "Enhancing access to important
information about prescriptions is in keeping with our purpose of helping
people on their path to better health."
Today's announcement is the result of collaboration between CVS/pharmacy,
the American Foundation for the Blind, American Council of the Blind and
California Council of the Blind. These groups applauded CVS/pharmacy's
actions.
"The lack of accessible labels on prescription drug containers puts people
with vision loss at serious risk of medication mishaps," said Paul
Schroeder, Vice President of Programs & Policy at the American Foundation
for the Blind. "We applaud CVS/pharmacy for taking steps to provide speech
access to label information for customers with vision loss along with its
willingness to evaluate methods to improve large print labels."
"This agreement is a positive step that allows for a greater level of
privacy, safety, and independence for blind and visually impaired Americans
of all ages who take prescription medications," said Kim Charlson, president
of the American Council of the Blind.
"The California Council of the Blind applauds CVS's willingness to offer
access to the information on prescription medication labels. As a result of
this initiative, persons who are blind or visually impaired who use CVS mail
order to fill their prescription needs will have the same direct, and
independent access to label information as do sighted customers," stated
Donna Pomerantz, President, California Council of the Blind.
To request the labels with a prescription ordered through cvs.com, the
number to call at cvs.com is 888-227-3403. Questions about the ScripTalk
system should be directed to Envision America at 800-890-1180. It is
recommended that you call cvs.com first.
