 Treatment and Access Information
For National ADAP Monitoring Project Reports, and a wide variety of other information and policy reports, go to NASTAD. The 2008 ADAP Formularies (covered drugs and such). Current law doesn't allow ADAP spending to count towards TrOOP (the out of pocket expenses you pay for the "donut hole" in Medicare Part D). If ADAP were allowed to count as TrOOP, it would save about $50 million per year. The U.S. Senate will debate Medicare reform legislation. They can play a major role in fixing this problem by including the ADAP as TrOOP provision. Call the Capitol Switchboard toll-free at (800) 828-0498. Ask to be connected to your Senator's office. Go to www.congress.org and enter your zip code in the upper left corner. If you can't call, send an email to both of your Senators with the same message. Go to www.senate.gov to find their websites and how to email them. |
