Major Program Changes
  • The Governor's Budget includes a net increase of $86.9 million for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program to reflect a projected increase in prescription drug costs and caseload. This amount includes savings of $16.8 million due to an increase in client share of cost to the maximum percentages allowable under federal law for specified ADAP clients, but would limit ADAP clients with private insurance or Medicare Part D to a maximum cost sharing percentage.

  • The revised 2010-11 Budget includes $76.3 million in additional federal resources available through the Safety Net Care Pool that can be used to offset General Fund in the ADAP Program.
