Robin FrostSo, when last I was under the auspices of the #Caremark pharmacy I never ever could get them to give me #ScripTalk labels without #Braille. Guess that's gonna hold true this time around also. It's annoying but I guess not the worst issue to have on the earth. Now if they'd just ship out my prescriptions that it's taken 2 and a half weeks to get straightened out that'd just be dandy.
Do any of my #Blind friends who use #ScripTalk get their prescriptions through #ExpressScripts mail order? If so tell me about the experience please. It appears I may have to switch to them due to switching prescription plans.
@SteveSawczyn Oh dear maybe i wasn't clear. That's just it. That's why I explained that other pharmacies had only put the name of the medicine in #Braille for easy identification leaving the more detailed information to the #ScripTalk label for scanning when necessary. That's why when I realized that CVS Caremark doesn't do it that way at all I said ok sacrifice #Braille on the bottle and just let me keep the accompanying literature I.E. the medication data sheets which merely describe what the medications are to look like in appearance in #Braille. Now I'm coming to the conclusion that for some reason whomever is in charge of these things can't separate the 2 i.e. the on bottle label and the data sheet even though senior clinical care specialists said they could. Does that help?
Well my saga with #CVSCaremark continues. When I first signed up to get prescriptions with them I selected #ScripTalk and #Braille thinking that it'd consist of the ScripTalk sticker on the bottom of a normal size medicine bottle and just the name of the medication in #Braille on that same bottle as other pharmacies had done in the past. That's not how they do things here. Rather, you get everything printed on the bottle in #Braille necessitating that your medicine comes in a vitamin size bottle. I contacted and then asked if I could continue to receive the drug identification sheets in #Braille and just have #ScripTalk on the bottles themselves. No problem they said. However, that seems impossible for them to achieve. I'm starting to believe the only way to get normal medicine bottles is to forego #Braille entirely and just get #ScripTalk only. I'll call them tomorrow during regular business hours in hopes of getting a supervisor.
Robin Frost Has MovedThis is one instance when organizations for the #Blind like #AmericanCouncilOfTheBlind might have made things worse not better. Why'd they push so hard for #CVS to develop their own #AccessiblePrescriptions rather than using #ScripTalk which already existed and is much more straightforward in my humble opinion to use. Ok I'll be quiet now.
Seriously someone is atempting to sell a #ScripTalk machine for like $100 or there abouts when these devices are provided free of charge from Envision America when one is being serviced by a pharmacy that participates. Something about this just seems wrong to me.
