Acknowledgements

The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation (Kaiser) and The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) would like to thank the state ADAP and AIDS program managers and staff for their time and effort in completing the National ADAP Survey which serves as the foundation for this report, and for providing ongoing updates to inform the National ADAP Monitoring Project.

The National ADAP Monitoring Project is one component of NASTAD’s National ADAP Monitoring and Technical Assistance Program which provides ongoing technical assistance to all state and territorial ADAPs. The program also serves as a resource center, providing timely information on the status of ADAPs, particularly those experiencing resource constraints or other challenges, to national coalitions and organizations, policy makers, and state and federal government agencies. NASTAD also receives support for the National ADAP Monitoring and Technical Assistance Program from the following companies: Abbott Laboratories, Gilead Sciences, GlaxoSmithKline, Solvay Pharmaceuticals, and Tibotec Therapeutics. Outside of the National ADAP Monitoring and Technical Assistance Program, NASTAD has a Training and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to provide technical assistance to ADAPs.

TheNationalADAPMonitoringProject’sAnnual Reportis based on a comprehensive survey of all AIDS DrugAssistance Programs (ADAPs), state-level1 programsthatprovideprescriptiondrugmedicationstolow-incomepeople with HIV/AIDS. The National ADAP MonitoringProject is a more than 10-year effort of the NationalAllianceofStateandTerritorialAIDSDirectors(NASTAD)and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation (Kaiser).Each year, the project documents new developmentsandchallengesfacingADAPs,assesseskeytrendsovertime,andprovidesthelatestavailabledataonthestatusof these programs. This report updates prior findingswith data from fiscal year (FY) 2007 and June 2007(unlessotherwisenoted)anddiscussesrecentpolicyandprogrammaticchangesthataffectADAPs.Keyhighlightsfromthisyear’sreportareasfollows:

• The national ADAP client caseload has grown over time. With almost 146,000 enrollees in 2007—and102,000servedinthemonthofJune2007alone—itreacheditshighestlevelsincetheprogrambegan.

• As the nation’s prescription drug safety-net for people with HIV/AIDS,ADAPsaredesignedtoservesome of the most vulnerable people with HIV in thecountry.Mostclientsarelow-income,withmorethanfourin10havingincomesatorbelow100%oftheFederalPovertyLevel(FPLwas$10,210annuallyforafamilyofonein2007),anduninsured(69%),andapproximatelytwo-thirdsarepeopleofcolor.WithoutADAPs,manyof

theseindividualswouldlikelyhavelimitedornoaccesstomedicationsandfall throughthecracks inour largerhealthcaresystem.

• ADAP clients primarily reflect the national epidemic, concentrated in states with the highest numbers of people living with HIV/AIDS. Ten states accountedfor two-thirds (67%) of total client enrollment in June2007. Regionally, more than a third (37%) of clientsenrolledlivedintheSouth,27%intheWest,25%intheNortheast,and11%intheMidwest.2

• The 2006 reauthorization of the Ryan White Program, the federal program under which ADAPswereestablished,changed theway inwhich federalfunding is distributed to states for ADAPs. It alsoinstituted new ADAP policies such as a minimumdrugformularyrequirementforantiretrovirals,thefirstsuchrequirementintheprogram’shistory.Whiletheimplications of these recent changes are still beingplayed out at the state level, they have introducedboth new opportunities and new challenges forADAPs. For example, the funding formula changehas resulted in fluctuations in the amount of ADAPfundingreceivedbystatesbetweenFY2006andFY2007, and may continue to do so. Additionally, thenew formulary requirement has served to expandaccesstomedications inafewstatesbutmayposeresourcechallengesinothers,particularlyasnewer,butusuallymoreexpensive,classesofantiretroviralsareintroduced.

–President’s ADAP Initiative (PAI):ThePAIprovidedadditionalone-timefunding3to10stateswithwaitinglists, resulting in a drop in the number of peopleon waiting lists across the country (although noteliminatingwaitinglistscompletely;attheendofthePAI in 2006, more than 300 additional individualswerestillonwaitinglistsinsixstates).

–Medicare Part D: Several ADAPs reported thattheintroductionofMedicarePartDin2006helpedtoeaseconstraintsand/orprovideanewavenuefor prescription drugs for people with HIV. Forexample,manyADAPshavebeenable to reducecostsby transitioning frompayingall prescriptiondrug costs for Part D-eligible clients to coveringtheir “wrap around” costs such as co-payments,monthly premiums, or costs when beneficiariesreachthe“coveragegap”intheirPartDplans.

–Non-Federal Funding Sources: Over time, non-federal funding sources—particularly state generalrevenue support and drug rebates—have becomecriticalpartsof theADAPbudget. States,althoughnotrequiredtodoso,havegenerallyactedtoprovideadditionalfundingtoADAPsatkeytimes,sometimesin response to state-level advocacy efforts. Inaddition,theeasingoftheeconomicdownturnthathitstateshardintheearlierpartofthedecadelikelyledtosomestatesincreasingtheircontributionstoADAPthis year.

–ADAP Supplemental Drug Treatment Grants:RyanWhiteReauthorizationincreasedtheamountof fundingavailable forADAPSupplementalDrugTreatmentGrants,aset-asideofthefederalADAPearmarkdesignedtoprovideadditionalfundingtostates with significant ADAP program limitations.

The Ryan White CARE Act, now called “Title XXVI of the PHS Act as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006,” or the “Ryan White Program,” is the single largest federal program designed specifically for people with HIV/AIDS. ADAPs, which began as AZT Assistance Programs in the �980s when federal assistance was initially provided to states for purchasing the first approved antiretroviral medication, were incorporated into the Ryan White Program when it was first enacted in �990. The Ryan White Program was reauthorized in both �996 and 2000, and was reauthorized for the third time in December 2006. Whereas all prior authorizations were for five-year periods, the recent authorization was for three years.

Each reauthorization of the Ryan White Program has brought changes and new developments for ADAPs, as well as for other parts of the Ryan White Program, reflecting both past experience and anticipated issues and challenges moving forward. The �996 reauthorization created the federal ADAP earmark. The 2000 reauthorization created the ADAP Supplemental Drug Treatment Grant Program, included a provision allowing ADAPs to use funds for insurance purchasing and maintenance, and increased their flexibility to provide other limited services (e.g., adherence support and outreach).

The 2006 reauthorization brought further changes to ADAPs, including:

Minimum ADAP Formulary: For the first time in the program’s history, ADAPs are required to cover at least one

medication from each of the approved antiretroviral drug classes, as indicated in the Department of Health and Human Services “Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-�-Infected Adults and Adolescents” (currently there are six classes subject to the requirement, but this provision will apply to any future classes of antiretroviral medications that are incorporated into the Guidelines). HRSA instituted the new provision into policy, effective July �, 2007.

Earmark Formula: The formula used for distribution of federal ADAP earmark funding changed. Previously, estimated living AIDS cases were utilized in determining ADAP formula awards. The new formula has moved from estimated living AIDS cases to actual AIDS cases and also includes HIV cases. This change has resulted in some funding shifts for ADAP earmark awards although such shifts were limited by the hold harmless requirement which ensured each state received at least 95% of its FY 2006 award.

ADAP Supplemental: Several changes were made to the ADAP supplemental grant program. The set-aside increased from three to five percent of the ADAP earmark; eligibility requirements changed; and matching requirements can now be waived if certain requirements are met.

Beyond these ADAP-specific changes, reauthorization has brought changes to other parts of the Ryan White Program that continue to affect ADAPs, such as changes in the way overall state Part B funding is distributed across the country, which in turn affects the amount of funds states have available to provide to ADAPs. ◗

This resulted in the first increase in fundsavailable through the ADAP Supplemental sinceFY 2003, and likely contributed to the easingof fiscal pressures in those states that receivedincreases(13states)orfirst-time(3states)ADAPsupplementalfunding.

nation’s third largestsourceof federal funding forHIVcare,afterMedicaidandMedicare.9

Since FY 1996, Congress has specifically earmarkedfundingforADAPswithinPartBoftheRyanWhiteProgram,which is allocated by formula to states.10 The ADAPearmark is the largest component of the overall ADAPbudget,althoughavailablefundsfromitdecreasedslightlybetweenFY2006andFY2007(byonepercent)forthefirsttimeinitshistory.11ManyADAPsalsoreceivefundingfromother sources, including state general revenue support,12

fundingfromotherpartsoftheRyanWhiteProgram,andpharmaceuticalmanufacturers’ drug rebates.Theseotherfundingsourcesarehighlyvariableandlargelydependentonstateandlocalpolicydecisions,differingADAPprogrammanagementstrategies,andresourceavailability.

The Health Resources and Services Administration(HRSA) of the Department of Health and HumanServices(DHHS)isthefederalagencythatadministersthe Ryan White Program, including ADAPs. In FY2007, 58 jurisdictions received federal ADAP earmarkfunding,includingall50states,theDistrictofColumbia,PuertoRico, theU.S.Virgin Islands,AmericanSamoa,FederatedStatesofMicronesia,Guam,MarshallIslands,and Northern Mariana Islands; Palau was eligible toreceive fundingbutdidnot reportanyHIV/AIDScasesandthereforedidnotreceiveafundingaward.

EachstateadministersitsownADAPandisgivenflexibilityundertheRyanWhiteProgramtodesignmanyaspectsof its program, including client eligibility guidelines,drug purchasing and distribution arrangements, and tosome extent, drug formularies. There is no standardclient income eligibility level required by law, althoughclients must be HIV-positive, low-income, and under-or uninsured. The reauthorization of the Ryan WhiteProgram in 2006 instituted a new “minimum druglist,” to be determined by the Secretary of Health andHumanServices, toensure thatantiretrovirals fromthecore antiretroviral drug classes are included on ADAPformularies. HRSA interpreted this requirement tomandatetheinclusionofatleastoneantiretroviralfromwithineachantiretroviraldrugclass,asspecifiedbytheDHHSguidelinesonantiretroviraltreatment,onallADAPformularies,a requirement thatwent intoeffectonJuly1,2007.ADAPsstilldeterminehowmanymedicationsfromwithineachantiretroviralclasstooffer,what,ifany,non-antiretroviralmedicationsarecovered,andwhethercost-sharing, quantity limits, or drug-specific eligibilitycriteriaareinstituted.

Therefore, annualfederal appropriations, and where provided, state fundingandcontributionsfromothersources,determinehowmanyclients ADAPs can serve and the level of services theycanprovide.Inaddition,giventhatADAPsareanintegralcomponent of the larger RyanWhite system, the fundinglevelsandcapacityofotherRyanWhitecomponentsmayalsoaffectclientaccesstoADAPs.TrenddataindicatethatwhenoneADAPrevenuesourcedecreases,othersappeartoincreasetofillthegap.However,these“levers”areseldompermanentandusuallyunpredictable.

Detailed FindingsThe detailed findings below are based on acomprehensive survey sent to all 58 jurisdictions thatreceived federal ADAP earmark funding in FY 2007;53 responded (see Methodology). All data are fromFY 2007 and June 2007, unless otherwise noted(supplementaldatacollectionwasconducted inselectareas). For the first time, regional comparisons areprovidedwhereavailable.2

Whenan individual is onawaiting list, theymaynot have access to HIV-related medications. Or,theymayhaveaccessthroughothermechanisms,but these are often unstable. Some individualson waiting lists can get medications throughother health programs within their state, orthrough pharmaceutical assistance programs(PAPs). PAPs, however, require people to applyoften, sometimes as frequently as every month,and separate applications must be sent to themanufacturer of each medication needed.

• All ADAPs were in compliance with the new minimum formulary requirement which, at the time of data collection, applied to the four longer-standing antiretroviral drug classes—NRTIs, NNRTIs, protease inhibitors, and fusion inhibitors. In addition, although still within the grace period, most ADAPs had already added the new CCR5 antagonist (44 ADAPs) and integrase inhibitor (43 ADAPs) to their formularies.

• The majority of ADAPs (29) cover every approved antiretroviral in each of the six drug classes.

• All ADAPs also cover the one available multi-class combination product on their formulary.

• The minimum formulary requirement led South Dakota to add protease inhibitors and fusion inhibitors to its formulary for the first time and, although only required to add one protease inhibitor under the law, the state added all 10 approved medications in this class. Three additional states added fusion inhibitors (Alaska, Idaho, and North Dakota) as well.

• Thirty-nine ADAPs cover 15 or more of the 29 drugs highly recommended (“A1”) for the prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections, including six that cover all 29 (Alabama, Alaska, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Oregon). Thirteen ADAPs cover less than 15 of these medications. One ADAP does not include any medications for OIs or other HIV-related conditions on its formulary, and only covers antiretrovirals (Louisiana). It is important to note that ADAPs may cover fewer than the full set of highly recommended OI medications because they cover equivalent medications, also highly recommended, on their formularies or have other state-level programs that can provide these medications.

• Hepatitis A, B, and C infections are important considerations for people with HIV/AIDS, and ADAPs play an important role in the provision of treatment for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and vaccines for hepatitis A and B viruses (see Chart 21 and Table XIII).

– In June 2007, 22 ADAPs covered treatment for HCV on their formularies, down from 25 in 2006. HCV is classified as an HIV-related opportunistic infection, due to the relatively high co-infection rate of HIV and HCV.18,22 Currently, no national funding infrastructure exists to provide treatment to those infected only with HCV, and state and local resources for such treatment vary greatly. Without HCV treatment programs, most of the burden for treating co-infected patients has fallen on ADAPs and other Ryan White programs. Across ADAPs, utilization of HCV treatment is low. The reason most commonly cited by ADAPs is that clients perceive

the treatment to be too difficult. A secondary reason is the lack of client interest and the lack of providers to prescribe treatment.

– 28 ADAPs cover hepatitis A and B vaccines, which are recommended for those at high risk for and living with HIV.23

WAITING LISTS ANd OTHER COST-CONTAINMENT MEASURES/MANAGEMENT POLICIES Waiting Lists

ADAP waiting lists have been documented since the Monitoring Project began tracking ADAPs in 1996, with detailed trend analysis beginning in 2002. At that time 1,108 individuals in seven ADAPs were on waiting lists for ADAP medications. Since then, a total of 20 different ADAPs have instituted a waiting list at some point with the largest number of clients on waiting lists reported at 1,629 in May 2004.

• In September 2007, and for the first time since tracking ADAPs, no ADAPs had client waiting lists. By March 2008, one state (Montana) had a waiting list in place (with three people on the waiting list), compared to four states with a combined total of 571 people on waiting lists in March 2007. This decrease was the result of several factors, including the President’s ADAP Initiative (PAI), which provided short-term, targeted relief; increased state funding for ADAPs in some states and growing revenue from drug rebates; continued implementation of Medicare Part D; and, for those states with particular ADAP capacity limitations, increased ADAP supplemental funding. These factors contributed to the ability of states to move clients off waiting lists and into their programs (see Charts 22 and 23 and Table XIV).

• The size of waiting lists has fluctuated within and across states over time. The number of people on waiting lists reached its peak in mid-2004. Based on bi-monthly surveys conducted between July 2002 and March 2008 (37 surveys overall):

– There was only one period (September 2007) when there were no ADAPs reporting waiting lists.

– 20 ADAPs reported having a waiting list in place at some point over the entire period.

– The highest number of states reporting a waiting list in any given period was 11.

– 12 ADAPs had waiting lists in 10 or more of the survey periods.

– The number of people on waiting lists ranged from a low of one to a high of 1,629 (the average was 653). The highest number of individuals on any one state’s waiting list was 891 (North Carolina);

Page 14: National ADAP Monitoring Project Annual Report · National ADAP Monitoring Project Annual Report APRIL 2008 Prepared by The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation ALICIA L. CARBAUGH JENNIFER

��

the lowest was one (Alaska, Idaho, Montana,andWestVirginia). NorthCarolinaalsohad thehighestaveragenumberofpeopleon itswaitinglist over the period (337), followed by SouthCarolina (320). The lowest average was four inGuamandWyoming.

• When states have had to use waiting lists, theygenerally report working with pharmaceuticalassistanceprograms(PAPs)tohelpthoseonwaitinglists access medications where possible. Theseprograms,however,arenotmeant tobepermanentsources of drug access and they require people toapplyoften,sometimesasfrequentlyaseverymonth,andtoapplytoeachdrugmanufacturerseparately.

–ADAPs may purchase drugs either at a lowernegotiated price directly from wholesalers or throughretail pharmacy networks and then apply to drugmanufacturersforrebates.AsofJune2007,29ADAPsreported purchasing directly; 24 reported purchasingthroughapharmacynetworkandthenseekingrebates.

–Direct purchase ADAPs can also choose toparticipate in theHRSAPrimeVendorProgram,24

which was created to negotiate pharmaceuticalpricingbelow the340Bprice. The“primevendor”is an entity that negotiates with manufacturerson behalf of a group of purchasers, in this case340B-coveredentities,toachievesub-340Bprices.Twelveofthe29ADAPsthatpurchasedirectlyfromwholesalersparticipateintheHRSAPrimeVendorProgram.

–Although the District of Columbia participates inthe340Bprogram, itpurchases themajorityof itsdrugsthroughtheDepartmentofDefense,allowingit to access the Federal Ceiling Price, a lowerprice only available to certain federal purchasers.Several other states that participate in the 340Bprogramalsohavestatelawsregardingnegotiationprocessesthatresultinlowerprices.

–NASTAD’sADAPCrisisTaskForcenegotiatesdirectlywithmanufacturersforpharmaceuticalpricingbelowthe340Bpriceonbehalf of both rebateand directpurchase ADAPs. When such agreements arereached,theyareprovidedtoallstates.

ADAP CRiSiS TASK FORCE

TheADAPCrisisTaskForcewasformedbyagroupofstateAIDSDirectorsandADAPCoordinatorsinDecember 2002 to address resource constraintswithin ADAPs. NASTAD serves as the conveningorganization for the Task Force, which originallyconsistedof10representativesofthelargestADAPprograms. Beginning in March 2003, the TaskForcemetwiththeeightcompaniesthatatthetimemanufacturedantiretroviraldrugs.Thegoalof themeetingswastoobtainmulti-yearconcessionsondrugprices,tobeprovidedtoallADAPsacrossthecountry. Agreements were reached with all eightmanufacturerstoprovidesupplementalrebatesanddiscounts (in addition to mandated 340B rebatesanddiscounts),pricefreezes,andfreeproductstoallADAPsnationwide.During2004,theTaskForceexpanded its negotiations to include companiesthatmanufacturehigh-costnon-antiretroviraldrugs.Additional agreements have been obtained sincethenandpreviousagreementswereextendedand/or enhanced. Agreements are currently in placewith14manufacturers.TheTaskForceestimatedsavings of $145 million in FY 2006, and $425millionsinceitsformation.CurrentmembersoftheTask Force include representatives from ADAPsin California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, NewYork,NorthCarolina,Texas,andUtah.

Insurance Purchasing/Maintenance Programs

• The Ryan White Program allows states to useADAP dollars to purchase health insurance and payinsurancepremiums,co-payments,and/ordeductiblesforindividualseligibleforADAP,providedtheinsurancehas comparable formulary benefits to that of theADAP.25,26StatesareincreasinglyusingADAPfundsfor thispurpose. MoreADAPs thaneverbefore (40)reportedpurchasingormaintaininginsurancein2007,representing$74.5millioninexpendituresinFY2007.In June 2007, 20,960 ADAP clients were served bysuch arrangements—53% higher than in June 2006.June2007expenditureswere63%higherthaninJune2006, although overall 2007 expenditures were 11%lowerthanin2006(seeChart39andTableXXI).

• Thesestrategiesappear tobecosteffective—inJune2007,spendingoninsurancerepresentedanestimated$422 per capita, less than half of per capita drugexpendituresinthatmonth($982).

Coordination with Medicare Part D

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, andModernizationActof2003(MMA)addedanewoutpatientprescriptiondrugbenefit,PartD,totheMedicareprogrameffective January 1, 2006. It is estimated that 12% ofADAP clients are also Medicare-eligible (representingabout17,000enrolledclients).AsubsetoftheseclientsisduallyeligibleforMedicareandMedicaid.

As the payer of last resort, ADAPs were required byHRSA to ensure that all Medicare Part D-eligibleclients enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan byMay 15, 2006 (or at least ensure that they are notpaying for any Medicare-covered prescription drugserviceforMedicare-eligibleADAPclients).ADAPsareencouraged to coordinate with Medicare prescriptiondrug plans and, in accordance with state policy, payfordrugplanpremiums,deductibles,coinsurance,andco-payments.25 However, the MMA does not allowADAPfundstobecountedtowardabeneficiary’sTrueOut of Pocket expenses (TrOOP). This means ADAPenrollees whose income defines them as a standardPart D beneficiary (and, therefore, not eligible for lowincomeassistance),mustincurthesecoststhemselveswhen in the coverage gap before they are eligible toreceive catastrophic coverage under their Medicaredrugplan.27

• To meet the federal requirements and maintainappropriate medication coverage for their clients, 30ADAPsreporthavingdevelopedpoliciestocoordinatewiththePartDbenefit(seeChart40andTableXXII).AsofMay2007:

Since1996,theNationalADAPMonitoringProject,an initiative of the Kaiser Family Foundation(Kaiser) and the National Alliance of State andTerritorialAIDSDirectors(NASTAD),hassurveyedall jurisdictions receiving federal ADAP earmarkfunding through Ryan White. In FY 2007, 58jurisdictions receivedearmark fundingandall58weresurveyed;53responded.AmericanSamoa,Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, MarshallIslands, and Northern Mariana Islands did notrespond; these jurisdictions represent less thanone percent of estimated living HIV and AIDScases.*
