To friends and colleagues interested in accessible prescription
information:

 

Following up on the June 8 press release from Walmart, we encourage you
to share the information below with your lists and communities about how
to order Talking Prescription Containers.  For Twitter, Facebook and
list postings, this same information is on line at:

On June 8 Walmart announced that it is now providing ScripTalk Talking
Prescription Containers free of charge to persons with visual
impairments as part of a pilot program. The ScripTalk Talking
Prescription program is being offered to customers across the country
through Walmart mail order, and also at three Walmart stores. Read the
Walmart press release <http://lflegal.com/2012/06/walmart-prescription>

Information you need to order Talking Prescription Containers from
Walmart


To listen to the talking label provided by Walmart, you will need to
first get a reading device from Envision America, the company that makes
ScripTalk. The device is called the ScripTalk reader (or the ScripTalk
machine) and is available free of charge to Walmart customers who are
blind.


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


Contact En-Vision America at 800-890-1180 to order your free ScripTalk
talking prescription  reader. Envision America will also be able to
answer many questions regarding insurance coverage and costs and
discounts for Walmart prescriptions.


After you talk to Envision America, you will need to call Walmart to
order your prescription medication. The phone number for the Walmart
Mail Order pharmacy is 1-800-273-3455 (1-800-2-REFILL). When you order
your prescription tell them you want the Talking Prescription label
(also known as the ScripTalk label). There is no extra charge for the
label.


Walmart is currently also offering the Talking Prescription labels in
the following three stores. As with mail order, you will need to contact
both the Walmart store (for the prescription medication) and Envision
America (for the ScripTalk reader (also called the ScripTalk machine)).


*214 Haynes St., Talladega, AL 35160 (256) 761-1681


*2270 W. Main St., Tupelo, MS 38801 (662) 844-4011 


*601 Englewood Pkwy., Englewood, CO 80110 (303) 789-7209
