Vermont's ADAP is called the HIV/AIDS Medication Assistance Program (AMAP). To be eligible:

• You must earn less than 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL)
• You must be HIV+
• You must live in Vermont

Therre is no need for a Medicaid Denial Letter. It is an open program without a cap or a waiting list. Every 6 months you redo certification. AMAP provides financial assistance for the purchase of prescription medications to eligible Vermonters. This program will help pay for your treatment drugs whether or not you have private insurance.

HIV Dental Care Assistance Program (DCAP)

same eligibility as AMAP This program provides free dental assessments and offers additional preventative care, including cleanings and basic restorative treatments such as fillings. As with the Early Intervention Program (below), any licensed practitioner in Vermont can access this fund on your behalf

HIV Insurance Continuation Assistance Program (ICAP)

This program is designed to pay the insurance premiums for eligible individuals who, because of HIV/AIDS-related illness, are unable to continue working or who have had to reduce their hours of employment and are at risk of losing their existing health insurance coverage. Eligibility is the same as for AMAP with these requirements as well. Your liquid assets must be under $10,000. You must not be able to work or be limited to part time work through a physicians certificate. You must have pre-existing insurance coverage, as the program will not apply for any new insurance. Every year requires recertification.

Early Intervention Program

If you just learned you are HIV+, this program can help by paying for your initial doctor's visits and for medical tests that will give you a baseline of information about your current health. Any physician throughout Vermont can charge the program for costs related to these tests, so you will not be faced with large medical bills while also deciding what actions to take in making treatment choices. Tests include screenings for viral load, to help you determine what your best treatment options are. You can also be tested for Hepatitis and TB and be immunized to prevent the flu and pneumonia at the same time. If you are a woman, you may also request a Pap Test and a pregnancy test during your doctor visit
