This web page refers only to people who are HIV+ and who are getting medicine through various
programs in the San Antonio area.
Everybody must enroll in a private insurance program that contracts with the federal
government after January 1, 2006. You will be issued a pharmacy card to get your prescriptions-- usually to a specific pharmacy.
There will be several plans available, some offering only prescription costs, others offering managed care programs.
You will need to investigate the various plans to determine the best plan for you.
The cost of these benefits will
depend upon your income and health status. A standard benefit will cost $32/month plus a annual deductible of $250, plus 25%
of drug costs up to $2,250. You then pay all drug costs up to $5,100. After that, you will pay 5% of all costs.
Different
plans have different options, and you must shop around to find the best plan for you. If you qualify as low income [<$1,197
single or <$1,604 married, monthly] and with limited assets, the government will subsidize part of the drug
costs. You must apply to Social Security for assistance. See website below for application.
