North Carolina Approves ADAP Premium Assistance
By: Lee Storrow, Executive Director, North Carolina AIDS Action Network
This year, North Carolina took a big step forward to increasing access to
health insurance for individuals on our state’s AIDS Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP).
For years, the HIV advocacy community has been concerned about the state’s
failure to provide premium assistance for individuals who purchase their
own health insurance. The majority of states across the country have such
programs in place, which help subsidize the cost of health insurance for
ADAP eligible patients so they can receive a broader array of health services
instead of just medication. Our state took a small step forward by providing
co-payment assistance for medication in 2014, but the governor’s
administration claimed they were prohibited from going any further.
