Can a client who has opted out of Medicare Part D qualify for full coverage of their medications through ADAP?

Yes, but keep in mind that HRSA HAB requires RWHAP recipients to “vigorously pursue” insurance for clients, including Medicare prescription drug coverage. RWHAP, including ADAP, is always available as a safety net, particularly for individuals who may have missed an open enrollment period. However, RWHAP, including ADAP, will only cover a person’s HIV care and provide medication coverage for a person’s HIV medications. RWHAP, including ADAP, is not comprehensive health coverage.
