Hello. I thought you'd be interested to learn about progress that has been
made recently regarding accessible prescription labels at major pharmacy
chains in the United States. Please pass this on to anyone you think may be
interested or in need.

ScripTalk audible prescription labels are now available nationwide at all
local Rite Aid and Walmart pharmacies, as well as at several national mail
order pharmacies. Rite Aid and certain mail order pharmacies also offer large
print and Braille prescription labels.

Be aware that you may have to educate your local Rite Aid or Walmart
pharmacist that their employer is actually offering accessible prescription
labels. These companies are very large, and it can take time for local
pharmacists to become aware of new company initiatives.

If you are a Walmart customer and your local pharmacist is not yet familiar
with the availability of accessible prescription labels, just tell the
pharmacist to "Search for ScripTalk on The WIRE." The pharmacist will know to
search Walmart's internal communication system to find instructions on how to
get ScripTalk implemented locally.

If you are a Rite Aid customer and your local pharmacist is not yet familiar
with accessible labels, ask the pharmacist to call their corporate support
number for more information, or you can also call EnVision America for
assistance at 1-800-890-1180.

Accessible prescription labels are also available via mail order from the
following national mail order pharmacies:

1. cvs.com Home Delivery supplies audible prescription labels.
2. CVS/Caremark PBM Mail Order supplies audible, large print and Braille
prescription labels.
3. Humana Mail Order supplies audible and Braille prescription labels.
4. Rite Aid Mail Order supplies audible, large print and Braille prescription
labels.
5. United Healthcare/OptumRx Mail Order supplies audible prescription labels.
6. Walmart Mail Order supplies audible prescription labels.

Thank you for sharing this information and helping the blind and visually
impaired community to become aware of the increasing availability of life
saving accessible prescription labels.

Live the life you want

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
