ADAP Watch

As of March 15, 2012 there are:

• 6,772 individuals enrolled in HIV/AIDS drug assistance programs (ADAP & SPAP)
  • 6,045 are enrolled in ADAP
  • 727 are enrolled in SPAP
• 158 individuals on the waiting list

As of March 8, 2012 there were:

• 6,740 individuals enrolled in HIV/AIDS drug assistance programs (ADAP & SPAP)
  • 6,070 are enrolled in ADAP
  • 670 are enrolled in SPAP
• 155 individuals on the waiting list

This week North Carolina's 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 the state's 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, there are 11 states with waiting lists, totaling 3,840 people. That report shows NC as having 154 clients on the waiting list, which was the official count at COB on March 14. NC accounts for approximately 4% of the national ADAP waiting list.
