CVS offers prescription labels for visually impaired

Woonsocket, R.I. - CVS Health now offers the ScriptAbility prescription accessibility system through its mail service pharmacy to CVS/Caremark members who are blind or visually impaired. The system includes ScripTalk talking prescription labels, as well as braille and large print labels.



The ScripTalk talking labels provide access to information on prescription labels for individuals who cannot read standard print. The ScripTalk labels are free to CVS/Caremark members who are blind or visually impaired. Members can also obtain a free ScripTalk reader from Envision America that will enable them to listen to the information on the ScripTalk label.



Today's announcement is the result of collaboration between CVS Health, the American Council of the Blind (ACB), and several CVS/Caremark members. Members can request a product from the ScripAbility suite by completing the online request form.
