3. C.A.P. - Who We Are…
Community Assistance Program (CAP) is an outreach
program of National Benefit Builders Inc. It was set up to
help those that are uninsured and under-insured. NBBI was
established in 1994, with the highest rating from the Better
Business Bureau.
CAP distributes free cards;
Educates card users on how to use the cards;
Helps people who do not have internet access compare
drug prices; and
Can assist people in finding pharmacies with the best
prices for their prescription medications.
We have saved cardholders over $250 million in drug costs.
CAP never charges for any of these outreach services!

4. What is a Discount Drug Card?
Prescription drug discount cards (also known as
“consumer cards” and “point of sale cards”)
allow prescription drug users to save money on
all types of prescription medications. At the time
of purchase, they simply present the card at any
participating pharmacy to instantly receive
substantial discounts on their prescription drugs.
It’s that easy.

8. Who needs a card?
Anyone with limited or no prescription drug coverage
People who already have insurance coverage may still find
the card useful as it can discount medications that are not
covered by their health plan.
The prescription drug savings card can also be especially
useful to seniors enrolled in Medicare; it has been estimated
that as many as 38% of Medicare recipients lack prescription
drug coverage.

9. Are there any forms or pre-qualification for
someone to use the CAP Rx savings card?
Absolutely None
The CAP Rx savings card is a “bearer card” meaning
anyone presenting the card at a participating pharmacy can
receive a savings. There is absolutely no gathering of any
personal information at time of use.
9
10. How will someone using a CAP Rx savings card
know if they’re getting a discount?
With CAP, an Rx savings card user can go
to http://www.caprxprogram.org/4me and
see what the price of the drug is at their local
pharmacy.
The Rx savings card user can ask the
pharmacist at the time of purchase how much
of a discount they received using the card.
10
11. What prescription drugs are eligible for a discount
when using the CAP Rx savings card?
All FDA approved prescription drugs
are eligible for a discount with the
Community Assistance Program (CAP)
Rx savings card.
“Lifestyle Drugs” such as EDF (erectile
dysfunction), hair loss, fertility, smoking
cessation, and weight loss meds
Durable Medical Equipment – such as
diabetic supplies can be obtained at
greatly reduced rates.
11
12. Will the person get a discount every time the CAP
Rx savings card is used?
A person using the card will get a discount
approximately 94% of the time.
The reason it is not 100% of the time is that
pharmacies from time to time price certain drugs
at cost to attract customers to their stores. In this
type of situation the cardholder would get the
lowest price without needing the discount card.
12
13. Some ways a CAP Rx savings card can be used
with insurance.
The program works even if a CAP Rx card user has insurance.
Limited Formularies – Insurance companies are increasingly
limiting which drugs they will pay for. For example: Birth Control
- Diabetic Supplies - Smoking cessation and other lifestyle
drugs such as obesity, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, fertility
drugs, etc. that they decide are not cost effective for them.
High deductible plans – The CAP Rx savings card allows
people to get discounts on Rx Drugs before they reach the level
at which the insurance company starts paying benefits.
Medicare Part D – The CAP Rx savings card can be used to
secure discounts on those drugs that are excluded from
Medicare Part D. It will also provide discounts when a person on
Medicare reaches the “donut hole coverage gap”.
The Discount Card does not provide an additional savings if you
have already used your insurance card. The two cannot be
combined or used together.
