AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) Adequate versus Ideal models Joey Wynn, Chairman, South Florida AIDS Network (SFAN) aaa+ conference, Washington D.C. July 21st, 2009
Ideal versus Adequate ADAPs Initial Dialogue about the concepts of ideal ADAP models versus adequate programs (The good, bad & the ugly!)
Ideal versus Adequate ADAPs Our goals for today’s discussion: • Identify and create awareness of the importance of appropriate characteristics for ADAP Programs nationwide • Identify & Understand the barriers and challenges associated with evaluating ADAP Programs throughout the country (widen the net to see the real picture!) • Begin to identify primary questions, & needed data to answer them • Hold an interactive dialogue resulting in a clearer understanding and expectation of what ADAPs should be doing for their clients based on their local environments • Evaluate the need for further investigation into this topic and the usefulness of such data for the community
Ideal versus Adequate ADAPs • Key elements (core or medical model) of a local HIV primary care system • Number of Patients accessing services • Primary care visits (System-wide capacity) • Laboratory diagnostics (availability and capacity) • Specialty Labs (Genotype, Pheno, Virtual Pheno, etc..) • Medications (Formulary Management, PBM, etc…) • Financial resources to maintain system
Ideal versus Adequate ADAPs • Other elements to consider • Payor Sources – Funding stream Matrix • Financial Limitations (Rationing Care) • Level of Sufficiency of resources versus demand /need • Patient’s “Quality of Life” index • Loss of productive time for Patient • Loss of productivity levels – Staff • Patient mortality
Ideal versus Adequate ADAPs • Who Pays for these Medications????? • ADAP • General Revenue (State Tax Dollars) • State Medicaid • Federal Medicare Programs (A,B,C,D) • Ryan White A – F (formerly I, II, III, IV) • Private Insurance Plans • Local Indigent Plans – Hospital DSH programs • Patient Assistance Progams – PAPs….. www.PPARx.org
