ADAP Watch

As of March 1, 2012 there are:

• 6,708 individuals enrolled in HIV/AIDS drug assistance programs (ADAP & SPAP)
  • 6,086 are enrolled in ADAP
  • 622 are enrolled in SPAP
• 153 individuals on the waiting list

As of February 23, 2012 there were:

• 6,673 individuals enrolled in HIV/AIDS drug assistance programs (ADAP & SPAP)
  • 6,112 are enrolled in ADAP
  • 561 are enrolled in SPAP
• 148 individuals on the waiting list

This week our overall enrollment increased as it always does but there was a decrease in ADAP enrollment and an increase in SPAP enrollment. This is a result of our enhanced efforts to identify clients on ADAP who are enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan and switch those clients to SPAP. As we continue with these efforts it is likely that the ratio of ADAP to SPAP clients will continue to change.

According to NASTAD’s most recent ADAP Watch, released today, there are 11 states with waiting lists, totaling 3,809 people. That report shows NC as having 150 clients on the waiting list, which was our official count at COB on February 29, 2012. NC accounts for approximately 4% of the national ADAP waiting list.
