Overview
- Eligibility for ADAP was reduced from 400% of the federal poverty level to 130%, sharply narrowing who qualifies for assistance.
- The rule restricts insurance coverage of Biktarvy, a once-daily HIV treatment used by about 60% of Florida ADAP participants.
- The changes end help with health insurance premiums, further limiting support for enrollees.
- Advocates estimate that as many as 16,000 of Florida’s roughly 30,000 ADAP enrollees could face restricted access to medication.
- The emergency rule took effect Sunday for a 90-day period, and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation has filed suit challenging the cuts.
