FYI. The following note concerns major pharmacy chains' efforts to make
audible prescription labels available to blind and visually impaired
customers. 

 

+++++

 

Walmart has made ScripTalk available to its mail order pharmacy customers
for the past 2 years and will now implement ScripTalk at any of their local
pharmacies when a customer requests it. All the customer has to do is ask
their local pharmacist for audible prescription labels. If the pharmacist is
not familiar with the program, the customer should tell the pharmacist to
"Search for ScripTalk on The WIRE." The pharmacist will know that The WIRE
is Walmart's internal communication system for its pharmacists and that they
just need to search for the term "ScripTalk" to find instructions on how to
get it implemented locally.

 

Walgreens is now offering a Talking Pill Reminder via its mail order
pharmacy and at its local pharmacies. Customers make a request for the
Talking Pill Reminder directly to their local pharmacist or by calling
Walgreens' national customer service number, 1-800-925-4733.

 

CVS has been offering audible prescriptions via its mail order pharmacy for
the past year. Nothing is currently being offered for locally-filled CVS
prescriptions, but this may change with increased demand by customers.

 

+++++

 

the information contained in this communication is for information purposes
only and does not constitute an endorsement or request for action by the
NCSAB.
