The North Dakota's Ryan White Program Part B provides access to HIV-related medical care and treatment, case management, and reimbursement for core and support services. In North Dakota, persons living with HIV (PLWH) may face barriers to accessing care including stigma, lack of qualified providers or services in the area, transportation, financial resources, and access to affordable housing among others. Local RW coordinators help clients to access and navigate HIV care and needed support services to reach and maintain positive health outcomes.
AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is a component of the RW program that covers HIV-related and other medications as well as insurance premiums for clients that qualify. Clients can fill medications at any ND retail pharmacy that participates in ND Medicaid. ND ADAP has an open formulary with a list of excluded categories.
