[Diabetes-talk] FW: FW: Walmart Talking Prescription Containers: Order...

Sun Mar 31 15:49:44 UTC 2013

Perhaps your insurance company knows something we don't? I refuse to shop at
WalMart myself in that I believe it all-too-anxious to treat many of its
employees in niggardly fashion. Moreover, I am one of the few, I guess, who
is not absolutely convinced of the need for talking prescription equipment.
But NFB policy is NFB policy and I carry it out.

As for your specific question, insurance companies can do business with whom
they like and refuse to do business with entities they don't like. We'd have
to secure passage of a law to force them to do otherwise and we'd never get
it passed.

This sounds really good, but my insurance company will not cover any  
prescriptions bought at WalMart.  They cover all other pharmacies, except  
WalMart.

Does this not sound wrong?

Information

Walmart Expands Program to Provide  Talking Prescription Containers

Need information about how to order  Talking Prescription Containers for
prescription medication obtained from  Walmart? You'll find everything you
need in this post. In June, 2012,  Walmart became the first national 
pharmacy
retailer to offer Talking  Prescription Containers free of charge to persons
with visual impairments.  The ScripTalk Talking Prescription program is 
being
offered to customers  across the country through Walmart mail order. In
addition to the national  mail order program, Walmart now offers ScripTalk 
at
33 stores around the  country. A list of stores where ScripTalk is 
available,
as well as  instructions for ordering, appear below. Read the June, 2012
Walmart press  release announcing its ScripTalk initiative.

Information you need to  order Talking Prescription Containers from Walmart

. To order ScripTalk  talking prescription containers for use with
prescription medications  obtained from Walmart, you must first contact
Walmart. For mail order,  Walmart has a dedicated toll free phone line for
ScripTalk requests. The  toll free number is 1-888-227-3403. You may also
contact any of the stores  listed below directly for information on 
receiving
ScripTalk containers  from those stores.

. To listen to the talking label provided by  Walmart, you will need reading
device from Envision America, the company  that makes ScripTalk. The device
is called the ScripTalk reader (or the  ScripTalk machine or device) and is
available free of charge to Walmart  pharmacy customers who are blind. After
you have contacted Walmart, you  will need to contact Envision America to
order your device. Envision  America has a dedicated toll-free line for
requests, and for general  ScripTalk service & inquiries. The toll-free
Envision America number is  1-855-773-2579 (1-855-SPEAK-RX.)

. You only need to order the device  once: it will work with any Talking
Prescription label you receive from  Walmart.

. Walmart is currently also offering the Talking Prescription  labels in
thirty three stores across the country, listed at the end of this  post. As
with mail order, you will need to contact both the Walmart store  (for the
prescription medication) and Envision America (for the ScripTalk  reader).

. If you are a Walmart customer with a visual impairment who's  store is not
yet offering ScripTalk, contact Walmart at 1-888-227-3403 to  request that
the ScripTalk containers be offered at your store. Please use  the Contact
