N-CAP - NALOXONE CO-PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
* Now, when ACR Health trains members of the public, each is given a card detailing how to obtain Narcan at a pharmacy.
* Fully stocked Narcan kits are supplied for individuals who are at risk for overdose or their family members or friends who have received training through ACR Health.
* At-risk individuals may also obtain Narcan at pharmacies without prescriptions.
* For large companies and businesses, instead of providing Narcan kits to all, we recommend placing the kits at strategic locations throughout the building.
* We recommend that any entity open to the public have Narcan trained personnel and Narcan on the premises.
NARCAN IN PHARMACIES
Narcan is now available at pharmacies throughout NY State through the N-CAP program.
* Co-payments for naloxone in an amount up to $40 for each prescription dispensed will be billed to N-CAP, not to the individual getting naloxone.
* One kit of naloxone provided to registered opioid overdose prevention programs, which includes two doses, costs the State approximately $70, while the N-CAP co-payment paid by the State will vary between $1.00 - $40.00 per kit.
* No individual enrollment is necessary.
* There are no or lower out-of-pocket expenses when getting naloxone at a participating pharmacy.
ACR Health offers Narcan training free of charge to all interested parties. We make sure that everyone we train will be able to get a kit if needed. For more information on Narcan training, Narcan kits, or Opioid Overdose Prevention Education please email us at Narcan@ACRHealth.org
