AIDS Law Project helps Altoona man get new liver after Medicaid denies coverageWhen William Jean Gough, 46, of Altoona

learned he needed a liver transplant to save his life,he thought the biggest obstacle would be a donormatch.

But then a devastating letter arrived:Medicaid refused to pay for Jean’s surgery becausehe was HIV-positive.

Jean (pictured at right) had been diagnosedwith hepatitis C in 1996. While Jean’s HIV wasunder control through anti-retroviral therapy, his hepatitis had severely damaged his liver.By summer 2003, Jean’s hepatitis was so advancedthat he suffered from end-stage liver disease andwas expected to die within a year without a livertransplant. In August, Jean was evaluated at theUniversity of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s ThomasE. Starzl Transplant Institute and was considered astrong candidate for transplant surgery.

But in late September, the PennsylvaniaDepartment of Public Welfare’s Medicaid programdenied coverage for the procedure, interpreting a1991 departmental policy statement on kidneytransplant to mean that someone with a “severelife-limiting condition” is not eligible for a transplant.

Crushed, Jean appealed the decision — andcalled the AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania forhelp. “I started researching medical journals rightaway,” recalled AIDS Law Project ManagingAttorney Yolanda French Lollis, who fought thecase with an attorney from Lambda Legal in NewYork. “The medical literature clearly shows that people with HIV cansuccessfully receive transplanted organs withoutheightened risk.”

Since the advent

of anti-retroviral therapy

to treat HIV disease,

dozens of reports and

case studies have

concluded that organ

transplant should not

be denied to people

with HIV, Yolanda said.

On Dec. 2,

Administrative Law Judge Bernadene Kennedy

ruled that Medicaid must pay for Jean’s liver trans-

plant, stating that “a severe life-limiting disease is

an illness that no longer responds to curative treat-

ment.” Jean’s HIV had responded well to medica-

tion for years, the judge said, and his most immi-

nent life threat was hepatitis C, not HIV. The judge

cited Jean’s work as an AIDS advocate and said he

could live 30 more years with a liver transplant,

adding: “It is reasonable to expect that [he] will

make many more valuable contributions to society.”

Jean underwent successful liver-transplant

surgery at the Starzl Institute on March 16. He is

currently recovering in Pittsburgh.

“This case challenges the way insurers view

people with HIV,” Yolanda said. “After this case,

insurers can no longer say in good faith that they

didn’t know better.”

In this issue, we introduce a new feature,“Navigating the System.”

As the drawing that accompanies the article suggests, trying to weave through the myriad avenues and byways of governmental and healthcare bureaucracies can be like tryingto navigate a gondola with roadblocks at every turn. For someone living withHIV/AIDS, the gondola may seem to be made of lead and the byways quicksand.

Here at the AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania, we have a staff of experienced and able navigators to help clients move more swiftly towardtheir goals.

The stories we will tell in “Navigating the System” are not necessarilythe most shocking or the most newsworthy. A story told there probably wouldnot be selected as a cover story, like this issue’s extraordinary report about anAltoona man whom we helped to get a new liver. That victory clarified therules for Medicaid, and also proclaimed that people with AIDS have futuresand can keep making valuable contributions to society.

For clients whose lives are improved by a roadblock removed or a heap of quicksand tossed aside, our efforts are just as meaningful. After all, navigating the system constitutes the nuts and bolts of our daily work at theAIDS Law Project. For every William Jean Gough who gets a new liver, weserve thousands of Pennsylvanians who otherwise might not have the ability orthe energy to get health care or housing or financial assistance.

We pledge to continue helping folks navigate the system, whether theirstories make the front page or not.

In March, following anextended standoff between city andstate health officials, thePennsylvania Department of Healthgranted the PhiladelphiaDepartment of Health a one-yearwaiver from the regulatory requirement of name-based HIVreporting. For the next year, thecity will report HIV cases to the stateusing code-based identifiers, whichmaintain anonymity, while the restof the state will continue to use thename-based reporting system begunin October 2002.

Rejecting the name-basedsystem because of privacy concerns,Philadelphia had refused to supply data to the state health department.Because Philadelphia has about 50percent of Pennsylvania’s HIV cases,the stalemate jeopardized the state’sinformation-gathering process.

Under the agreement, thecity’s code-based reporting programwill be evaluated after the first yearfor accuracy, confidentiality andeffectiveness, including demonstrated linkages to care,

before the program is made permanent. The year-end evaluation must “occur through anoutside medical record audit performed by a contractor whosecosts will be paid by [the city],” the agreement states.

The AIDS Law Project ofPennsylvania supports the decisionand hopes the code-based systemcan be expanded statewide, once itis shown to work in Philadelphia.

City gets reprieve from names reporting

Kline & Specter, P.C., a personal-injury law firm rep-resenting catastrophically injured people and theirfamilies, has made a $50,000 donation to the AIDSLaw Project of Pennsylvania.“We feel strongly abouthelping people who need vigorous advocacy,” saidShanin Specter, a partner in the firm. “And the peoplerepresented by the AIDS Law Project need our help.”Thomas R.

Navigat ing the systemA new feature spotlighting cases in which the AIDS Law Projectof Pennsylvania helped clients navigate the legal, welfare andhousing systems and the bureaucratic worlds of public and private insurance.

Many low-income Medicare beneficiaries don’trealize they are entitled to haveMedical Assistance (MA) pay fortheir Medicare premiums. A manwho recently came to the AIDSLaw Project for help on anotherlegal issue discovered, courtesy ofparalegal Lakeya Chambers, thathe had been eligible for this benefit for an entire year. Lakeyaarranged for the Department ofPublic Welfare (DPW) to pay forhis ongoing premiums and successfully advocated for a reimbursement of the premiumshe had paid unnecessarily duringthe year. Medicare premiums werecosting Lakeya’s client about 10percent of his monthly SocialSecurity disability payment. Notonly did she save him a substantialexpense, but she also educatedthe DPW case worker, who wasunfamiliar with this benefit.

•

An older man with HIV received an unexpected inheritance from a deceased relative butfelt he couldn’t accept it because it would make him financially ineligible for the MA benefits he dependedupon. He sought our assistance to return the money tohis relative’s estate. We determined that the money wasnot enough for him to live on and pay for his health-care expenses, but that he may be eligible for a SpecialNeeds Trust that would allow him to receive his inheritance without jeopardizing his health care.

AIDS Law Project Executive Director RondaGoldfein and Dennis C. McAndrews of the McAndrews Law Offices in Wayne, Chester County, created a SpecialNeeds Trust for him. The trust lets him use the inheritance for expenses related to his disability, andstill receive his health care from MA. Upon his death,MA would be reimbursed from the trust for the cost ofhis health care and the balance would pass on to hisgranddaughter.

The Homeowners’ Emergency MortgageAssistance Program (HEMAP) and Direct EmergencyFinancial Aid (DEFA) are government programs thathelp low-income people. But the two agencies seldom interact — which had one woman on the brink of homelessness when she turned to the AIDS Law Project

for help.She had applied to

HEMAP for a loan for hermortgage arrearage. HEMAPapproved a loan for part of theoutstanding balance, contingent upon her ability toraise the rest of it. She thenasked DEFA for a grant tocover the balance. DEFAapproved the request, butrequired a letter from HEMAPconfirming that she had beenapproved for the loan.HEMAP, unfamiliar withDEFA’s requirements, issued aletter, but did not include thespecific language that DEFAneeded. As a result, DEFA didnot release the funds, and theHEMAP loan was rescinded.

That was when StaffAttorney Cathryn Miller-

Wilson stepped in. Cathy got HEMAP to send anappropriate letter to DEFA and reissue the loan. DEFAthen provided the necessary funds. Each programthanked Cathy for taking the time to explain the situa-tion and agreed to work together in the future.

The Philadelphians Motorcycle Club expressed its gratitude to the AIDSLaw Project for helping one of its members by donating the proceeds ofits annual holiday party. Pictured with Ronda Goldfein are Club mem-bers Richard D’Amico, Ryan Goldner and Jose Cebollero.

On April 15, AIDS Law Project Staff Attorney IraisaOrihuela-Reilly conducted a public-benefits training, sponsored by the AIDS Activity Coordinating Office of thePhiladelphia Department of Health, for case managers fromAIDS service organizations in Philadelphia.

In February in Middletown, PA, Ronda Goldfein gave a two-day training in publicbenefits attended by publicly funded case managers and supervisors from throughoutthe state. The Philadelphia AIDS Consortium (TPAC) organized the event, funded bythe Ryan White C.A.R.E. Act.
