PrEP is a daily pill for the prevention of HIV and is free for all.

What does that mean?   

If you are insured, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans must cover PrEP medications and a number of baseline and monitoring services, including lab work (testing) and appointments, at no cost to you. There are programs to help with copays, deductibles, and provider visits, and may even help you pay your premiums. 

If uninsured, PrEP for the prevention of HIV is still FREE. Our navigation team will assist you with programs that cover the cost of PrEP medication, lab work (testing), and appointments for those who qualify.

Taking medication daily will get you to undetectable levels and should not come with any barriers.

What does that mean?

Insurance plans cannot drop you or deny you coverage just because you have a pre-existing or new health condition, and insurers cannot impose lifetime caps on your insurance benefits. There are programs to help with copays, deductibles, appointments, and even to help pay your insurance premiums. 

Once you achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load—the amount of HIV in the blood—by taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) daily as prescribed, you cannot sexually transmit the virus to others… Undetectable=Untransmittable U=U. Our navigators will assist you in removing any cost barriers. 

Insured Get tested for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and HIV. Copays, deductibles, or co-insurance may apply.

What does that mean?

According to the ACA, all insurance plans must cover HIV testing for everyone ages 15 to 65 and other ages if you have a higher chance of getting HIV. Coverage for other STI tests, like for syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea, may vary if you’re not on PrEP – if you’re on PrEP, these STI tests are covered 100% as part of your PrEP care. You may need to pay any deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance that your plan requires. Make sure you read your plan carefully or call your health insurance to have them explain your coverage so that you know what your plan will (and won’t) cover.

Uninsured  We have a PAY NOW program that allows you to get tested for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, hepatitis C, and HIV for $150.00.

What does that mean?
