We can help explain any program (such as ADAP, Medicaid, Insurance Plans, Medicare, Medicare Part D, etc.) and assist you to decide what program or programs are options. You can either use the contact information and links on these pages yourself, or we will assist you at any stage in the process. If you don't know where to start, let us know by e-mail, phone or fax and we'll create a strategy with you and any health care or support provider you may already have.
- State and National Resources - Michigan specific contact information for different programs through which you can access a variety of services. This page also includes national resources, and links to other sources.
-
Care Networks and Care Providers :
Michigan has HIV Care Consortia agencies and organizations that can either provide or refer you to a case manager or a health care provider. This is funded by the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act. The participating agencies are listed, as are some other resources.
- Accessing Treatments and other Resources : Michigan has a list or formulary of drugs and other services they cover through ADAP and other programs.Other potential sources of treatments for people with HIV or Hepatitis are also listed.
-
Hepatitis Resources : Michigan has statewide Hepatitis vaccination programs, and covers some treatments for hepatitis B and Hepatitis C through their program.
Other Care Providers and Resources
In every state there are clinics, doctors and other health care providers who treat people with HIV/AIDS. The HIVMA is a national organization to which many doctors who treat HIV belong. There is no way to determine how much these providers charge for their services, or what types of insurance (some do accept Medicaid, ADAP, etc.) without contacting them directly. If you like, The Network will help you do that. A good resource to search for an HIV experienced doctor yourself you could use the HIV Provider Directory Search (HIVMA). To find a doctor who specializes in Hepatitis treatment use the hepatitis page listed above. Some doctors will treat both dieases. The HIVMA is a good source of doctors for people co-infected with HIV and Hepatitis. If you know of an HIV or a Hepatitis treating doctor or are an HIV or Hepatitis treating doctor, we will place that information in our national database for when clients ask us for a referral.
- Patient
Assistance Programs - Free or reduced price medications are offered by individual drug companies, as well as other organizations and foundations. All prescription drugs, including generic drugs, are made by drug companies. Information includes: Who you should call or e-mail about getting treatments,and financial and medical eligibility criteria. Although they will not automatically cover "the doughnut hole" or co-pays if you have Medicare Part D, some program are willing to make arrangements and even check out any benefits for which you are eligible. If you need help, contact them directly or let us know what drug you are interested in, or if you are trying to contact a specific company, foundation or organization and contact The Network at
network@atdn.org
- Federal
Poverty Guidelines : These guidelines help to determine if
you are eligible for different programs.
- Kaiseredu.org :
Educational resources for students, including people who want to know
about or learn about a specific government sponsored program, or area of interest related to health care programs and policies. They have tutorials you can watch on many subjects,often presented by leading national experts. Many reports on specific topics such as HIV/AIDS, Minority Health Issues, and Medicare Part D. Links to current updates on
policy matters and the latest news related to specific entitlement program or policy issues. This site is part of http://www.kff.org, The Kaiser Family Foundation website.
Doing Your Part? - In order for city, state, and federal government to understand how important these resources are to you, feedback is crucial. Let your HIV Care Consortium providers in your state know you depend upon, and support their work. Let your congresspeople know what your needs are. Volunteer at a community based organization, clinic, or service provider, or join a national effort to ensure everyone has access to the care, support and treatments they need in every state.
