Introduction to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program
In my July 8th post sharing some basic information about County, State and Federally funded healthcare progams, I promised to get some detailed information for as many sates as possible.
HIV Positive magazine posted a great resource to their website listing, by state, ADAP requirements and information.
ADAP has helped me. It is literally a life saver. I cannot afford the $2,000 per month my meds were costing. As an ADAP member, I now receive All of my medications for free.
Make no mistake about it. ADAP is a well-deserved benefit of being a tax payer. If you’re looking for assistance with your meds, please check out this resource.
From HIVPositive.com
“The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is federally-funded, but it is state administered. The amount of money each state receives depends on the number of documented AIDS cases in the state. States with a lot of AIDS cases get a lot of money for their ADAP program, while others get very little. Some add state money to the amount they get from the federal government, and some do not. As a result, the qualifications for ADAP and the drugs the program covers vary widely from state to state!”
Are you an existing ADAP participant? How is it working out for you?
