AIDS Drug Assistance Program |
Eligibilty |
Part B of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act provides grants to all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 5 U.S. Pacific Territories or Associated Jurisdictions. Part B grants include a base grant, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) award, ADAP supplemental grants and grants to States for Emerging Communities—those reporting between 500 and 999 cumulative reported AIDS cases over the most recent 5 years. All funding is distributed via formula and other criteria. Part B funds may be used to fund 75 percent of “core medical services” which include outpatient and ambulatory health services; ADAP; AIDS pharmaceutical assistance; oral health care; early intervention services; health insurance premium and cost-sharing assistance; home health care; medical nutrition therapy; hospice care; community-based health services; substance abuse outpatient care; and medical case management, including treatment adherence services. The remaining 25 percent of funds must go to support services that are needed for people living with HIV/AIDS to achieve their medical outcomes, such as respite care, outreach services, medical transportation, linguistic services, and referrals for health care and support services. |

In FY 2008, a total of $1.195 billion
was appropriated to Part B programs,
of which $808.5 million was “earmarked”
for ADAP.
Part B provides a competitive grant of $7 million for the Minority AIDS Initiative, which provides education and outreach services to increase the number of eligible racial and ethnic minorities with access to treatment through the Part B ADAPs. |

Providers |
Part B providers may include both public and nonprofit entities. For-profit entities are eligible only if they are the sole providers of quality HIV care in the area. Most States provide some services directly, but other States work through subcontracts with Part B HIV Care Consortia. A care consortium is an association of public and nonprofit health care and support service providers and community-based organizations that plan, develop, and deliver services for people living with HIV disease. Services provided through a consortium are considered support services. |

AIDS Drug Assistance Program |
The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) provides medications for the treatment of HIV disease. Program funds may also be used to purchase health insurance for eligible clients and for services that enhance access to, adherence to, and monitoring of drug treatments. The program is funded through Part B of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act (formerly known as the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act) which provides grants to States and Territories.
