QUESTION
Has anyone received any $ from
CCM program yet?
Because of the complexity of this
program, reps that have brought in
patients will start receiving money
by next month.
QUESTION
What is being done to combat
Good Rx (a none BBB approved
card with unlimited advertising)?
As I have explained previously….
QUESTION
Why are new reps not included in
contest for $1,000?
The whole concept of awarding
prize money was to encourage reps
to purchase additional card to get
out into the field….
SORRY, WE WONT FILL
YOUR SCRIPT HERE
In case you missed it, last month pharmacy giant CVS announced it
would terminate access to more than 30 new medications in 2017,
including groundbreaking cancer and diabetes drugs. Shortly after the
CVS announcement, Express Scripts – the nation’s dominant pharmacy
benefits manager – followed suit with its list of drugs to be dropped in
2017.
You can also call or email Diane for a copy of the report.

WHAT WE DO MATTERS…
“A family member told me about your card. She said it is a God send for
her. I don't belong to any organization but I need your card. I am 60,
deaf & disabled. I am on social security disability & a small pension. I
have insurance, but I am currently in the donut hole. Last year I did
without 8 of my meds for 3 mths. because I couldn't afford them. I have
lupus, diabetes, high blood pressure & a few other issues. The outcome
of that decision last year was not good & health wise I am still paying for
it. Contacting me by email works best. PLEASE PLEASE can you send
me a card. Thank you for your time.”
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE
“I was in a restaurant off the beaten path of I-77 last Wednesday
morning meeting with a brother from Idaho. When the waitress had
already brought our breakfast over, I asked her if she needed some
FREE assistance with any medications in her family. Her face lit up
with a resounding YES. I gave her 3 cards and then she came back
for more explaining that a worker in the back was taking numerous
meds and needed help. I gave her four more and stated, "If you
need more, simply phone the number on the back." (my number) I
have already taken 2 calls with requests for 6 and 5 cards
respectively, only because I did a magic and simple act of "asking.“
~~Many Blessings
Mark
WHAT SETS US APART
I got a call from a lady who wanted me to tell her the price of her medicine
with the Good Rx discount. Naturally I had to tell her that we were not
Good Rx but that I could give her a price using the America’s Drug Card.
By the time we were done this is what she had to say “I am so impressed
that there was a live person to talk to me and help me and I especially like
that I don’t have to continue going back to their website for “coupons”.
With your one card I will be able to get a discount for all my medicines. I
don’t need Good Rx anymore. Thank you so much!”
ENCOURAGE
THE DRUG LOOKUP
It pays to shop! I looked up a medication for a cardholder
– Azelastine spr. 1% sol.
Osco Drug 31.30
Walgreens 60.14
CVS 74.00
Walmart 84.26
BRAND DRUG DISCOUNT
I got a call from a cardholder asking me to check the price
of Xifaxan 550 mg. She was told by the pharmacy that it
cost $2500 and she wanted to know how much it would
cost with the discount card?
The price came up at $1,842.58 with the discount card!
A savings of 26%!!
Diane Burgos
BRAND DRUG DISCOUNT
I got a call from a Rep regarding a drug that a family member
needed. She said it costs $1,700.00 without insurance. Luckily
they have insurance but if they hadn’t had insurance this is what
the meds would cost with our card.
VANCOMYCIN INJ 500MG (100.0 ml) Costco 13.76
VANCOMYCIN INJ 750MG (150.0 ml) Walmart 18.87
OCTOBER SURPRISE FOR
OBAMACARE
In just a few months, millions of Americans shopping on Obamacare’s insurance
exchanges will discover some unfortunate news about the cost of their policies for
next year.
According to the latest data, insurers have requested average rate hikes of nearly
24 percent. Those that regulators have already approved average 17 percent.
Notification of these increases for 2017 is likely to arrive in consumers’ mailboxes
at an inopportune time for lawmakers who support the president’s healthcare law
— just before Election Day.
Obamacare’s exchanges are collapsing. Sixteen of 23 state-sponsored CO-OP
health plans created by Obamacare have failed. Insurers — including the largest,
UnitedHealth, and the third-largest, Aetna AET +0.32% — are fleeing. Those that
remain are demanding premiums so high that many people may well decide to flee
the exchanges themselves — and pay a penalty of the greater of $695 or 2.5
percent of income.
OCTOBER SURPRISE FOR
OBAMACARE …CONT’D
If that happens, a new Congress and new president will have quite the
mess to clean up.
Residents of some states may look upon a 24 percent hike as a bargain.
Arizona’s two largest insurers, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Phoenix Health
Plans, are asking for rate hikes of over 60 percent. The two companies
cover 88 percent of the state’s exchange customers.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee, which covers 73 percent of that
state’s exchange customers, requested a 63 percent premium increase.
Why the sudden jump? Not enough people are enrolling in the exchanges,
particularly the young and healthy. The exchanges have enrolled 11.1
million — about half what the Congressional Budget Office forecast for this
year. To read the full article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/sallypipes/2016/08/22/an-october-surprise-

DRAMATIC RATE
INCREASES IN 2017
One of our Program Advisors, Frank Maiorca, also sent me a
great article on ACA rates increasing in 2017. I didn’t get a
chance to write a synopsis for this presentation, but the link is
below for you to read. Thank you Frank!
Obamacare Rates to Increase by 25% in 2017.

CONVENTION
Those of you who will be attending our convention this year already know that
because of hurricane Matthew the convention was postponed from the first week in
October to the first week in December. I want to thank everyone who made this
change possible by rescheduling your vacation or personal time to attend. Believe
it or not we actually have more people coming in December than were attending in
October.
I visited the Atlantis this past weekend and can assure you that it is fully
functioning and all aspects of the Atlantis are up and running smoothly.
I want to also personally thank Claudia from our staff for the tremendous work and
effort she had to put forth to cancel all the flights and then reschedule them all
within a weeks time.

Hi Michael & Joanne,
I am on Medicare and I do have prescription insurance, but have
reached the donut hole. I went to my pharmacy to pick up a
medication that I have to take daily. I was told the cost was $218. I
asked him to please see how much this would cost using my card. It
was then only $65!
I am thrilled to offer this card to others!!

We are always looking for
ways to improve what we do.
A couple of months ago we
had a contest to have reps
offer suggestions on how we
can improve our drug card
business.
Some of the suggestions
have already been put in
place. Such as offering active
or retire military and their
families the opportunity to
join our organization for the
$49.95 first year rate.
To enter this months contest I would like you to
send in your idea as to what we can do to attract and
recruit new reps. Even though this is not a new
concept and we have tried many things in the past, it
is very important to the company and to you as a rep
to continuously bring in new people into our
organization. We have 5 people on the committee to
review the ideas and determine which idea will be
the most likely to work. Do not limit your thoughts,
no idea is dumb, no idea is not worthwhile. Do not
concern yourselves with monetary restraints. Offer
us your idea and let us be the judge.
Please send in your idea by end of day, 11:59pm
Eastern time, Friday November 11th. One per rep.
Submit by email to:
In case you didn’t realize it 11/11/16 is also
Veterans Day. We at NBBi want to thank and show
our deepest support to the men and women who
have served this great country and given so much
(many the ultimate sacrifice) to keep us protected
and strong as a nation and to give us the freedom to
voice our opinions.
VETERANS DAY
As a way to say thank you to our veterans, we want
to give our veteran Representatives 5,000 free cards
of your choice.
Call or email Diane by the end of the day tomorrow
(4pm Eastern time) and she will send you the form
to fill out for your free cards.
