BVA members can now receive En-Vision America’s ScripTalk Talking Prescription Labels on their Guide Dog medications from CHEWY.  

“I’m happy to answer any questions you may have … I’m hoping you’ll join us in spreading the word with your wonderful members so that they know this option is available,” said En-Vision Director of Marketing Jenna Reed. 

According to Jenna, BVA members interested in receiving this free service can call En-Vision America at 1-800-890-1180. “We will work behind the scenes with CHEWY to get them set up,” she said.  

ScripTalk is a free, user-friendly service available at thousands of pharmacies throughout the United States and Canada that will read all medication information aloud. It has also been available to blinded veterans through VA Blind Rehabilitation Service for the better part of two decades. The first pilot testing of ScripTalk occurred with veterans at the Central Blind Rehabilitation Center at Hines in 2004. 

In the United States alone, the Food and Drug Administration estimates that about 1.3 million people are harmed by medication errors each year. For those who cannot read their medication labels, talking prescription labels have been a godsend to ensuring medication safety and adherence.
