Waiver-Only Project
Description
This demonstration expands Medicaid coverage to HIV-positive individuals. Participants receive most services through an unrestricted fee-for-service delivery system, but are limited in their choice of pharmacy provider. The demonstration is funded by savings generated from the District purchasing HIV/AIDS drugs from the Department of Defense, rather than through the regular Medicaid program.
Funding
$0.00
Principal Investigator(s)
John McCarthy
Project Number
11-W-00131/03
Status
The demonstration was extended until December 31, 2010. The District will allow this demonstration to expire because the participants are now Medicaid state plan eligible. A Medicaid State plan amendment was approved to extend Medicaid eligibility to persons described in section 1902(a)(10)(A)(i)(VIII) (childless adults) with incomes up to 133 percent of the FPL, effective May 1, 2010.
