New York AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP)
New York ADAP provides free HIV medications to uninsured and underinsured residents of New York living with HIV.
Funded through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B, New York ADAP covers FDA-approved HIV antiretrovirals and related medications. Eligibility is typically set at or below 400% of the federal poverty level; many states also offer insurance premium and cost-sharing assistance. A case manager can help you apply and recertify every six months.
Who qualifies
A quick look at who this program is designed to help.
Must be a resident of New York with a documented HIV diagnosis. Household income generally must be at or below 400% of the Federal Poverty Level, though the exact cap varies by state. Must be uninsured, underinsured, or have insurance that does not cover HIV medications adequately. Some states also use ADAP for Medicaid wraparound, premium, or cost-sharing support when HIV drug coverage has gaps.
