********Subject: Walmart: How to order Talking Prescription 
Containers with
Walmart Prescriptions

Walmart Talking Prescription Label Pilot Program

Hopefully you have heard by now that Walmart has introduced 
ScripTalk
Talking Prescription Containers free of charge for persons with 
visual
impairments as part of a pilot program.  The ScripTalk Talking 
Prescription
program is being offered through Walmart mail order to customers 
across the
country, and also at three Walmart stores.

Here is the information you need to take advantage of this 
exciting
opportunity.  We encourage you to do so if at all possible, and 
to share this
information with friends and neighbors who have visual 
impairments and would
benefit from the ScripTalk program.

1.  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).  This device is available free of charge to people who 
are blind
and visual impairments.  You only need to order the device once: 
it will work
with the Talking Prescription labels you receive repeatedly from 
Walmart.

Please contact En-Vision America at 800-890-1180 to order a 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.

2.  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.

3.  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

4.  If you have feedback about your experiences with Walmart or 
with Envision
America, please contact us through Scott Grimes in Linda's 
office.  Scott can
be reached by email at: prescription.access at gdblegal.com or toll 
free

at: 1-800-822-5000

By participating in Walmart's Talking Prescription pilot, you 
will be
helping Walmart understand how important accessible prescription 
information
is to people with visual impairments.  We are also working with 
other
pharmacy retailers on these issues, and we are confident that if 
Walmart's
pilot is successful, it will help pharmacies across the country 
understand
that talking prescription information is critical to the health, 
safety and
privacy of people with visual impairments.

Thank you for helping to make accessible prescription information 
a reality
in the United States.
