Do you have prescription coverage as part of your health insurance plan? If you do, you can use the New York State Naloxone Co-payment Assistance Program (N-CAP) to cover up to $40 in prescription co-payments so there are no or lower out-of-pocket expenses when getting naloxone at a participating pharmacy.
Many New York State pharmacies provide naloxone through a “standing order” which means you can get the medication at these pharmacies without a prescription from your doctor.
