Virginia Ryan White Part B

The Virginia Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B (RWHAP B) is administered through the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Office of Epidemiology, Division of Disease Prevention. The program works in partnership with local health departments, community-based organizations, and medical providers.

RWHAP B funds are used to expand access to HIV-related medical care, medications, and essential support services for low-income individuals who are uninsured or underinsured. Providers contracted under the program are responsible for ensuring services meet federal and state standards of care, comply with reporting requirements, and align with HCS Quality Management expectations.

Virginia Ryan White Part B Unified Eligibility

The Virginia Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B (RWHAP B) implemented Unified Eligibility (UE) that will have clients conduct eligibility every 24 months for all RWHAP B services, including ADAP services coordinated through VA MAP. This is a major policy and procedure shift for RWHAP B client eligibility as this removes the 6-month recertification requirement and changes client eligibility to a 24-month period. Clients and providers no longer have to do four eligibility assessments per year! Agencies not contracted with the Virginia RWHAP B program are not able to conduct these client assessments at this time but can make referrals to the agencies that can.

    • This policy replaces any prior policies and guidance regarding Virginia’s RWHAP B and VA MAP client eligibility processes.

    • Virginia RWHAP B clients will need to verify their eligibility status every 24 months.  The new process does not require 6-month recertifications. These changes align with the requirements and flexibilities in HRSA’s PCN #21-02.

    • VDH requires RWHAP B-contracted agencies to conduct period checks called Client Access Reviews (CARs) for anything that potentially changes the client’s eligibility for services. Subrecipients will need to document CARs and upload any changes discovered that affect client eligibility into Provide® within 7 days.

    • Virginia RWHAP B-contracted agencies will conduct all client eligibility assessments for all RWHAP B services, including ADAP.

    • Virginia RWHAP B-contracted agencies will use the state’s client-level data system called Provide Enterprise®. These contracted agencies must create client records and upload supportive documentation that supports each eligibility criterion which remains the same for VA RWHAP B. At this time, if agencies are not a Virginia RWHAP B-contracted agency, then they will not have access to Virginia RWHAP B's Provide Enterprise® system. Virginia will explore this possibility with the system’s vendor for future integration.

    • Eligibility criteria includes:
      • Proof for Virginia residency;
      • Household income at or below 500% of FPL;
      • Insurance coverage status for services requested to help ensure RWHAP is payer of last resort; and
      • One-time proof of a diagnosis with HIV disease documented.

    • VA MAP no longer processes eligibility assessments for medication access. Through UE, VA MAP will be reviewing eligibility assessments to determine the appropriate VA MAP service option for a client to access their medication. Eligibility for medication access will be determined through the eligibility assessments conducted by a Virginia RWHAP B-contracted agency.

Unified Eligibility Documents

Đánh giá đủ điều kiện thống nhất

Agencies not contracted with Virginia RWHAP B to provide services cannot conduct unified eligibility assessments at this time. If an agency provides services from other RWHAPs A, C, and/or D and does not contract with Virginia RWHAP B, then the agency must refer clients to these Virginia RWHAP B-contracted agencies to conduct eligibility assessments for any Part B services, including ADAP. Clients can also contact any of the contracted agencies of their choice to complete their eligibility assessment for Part B services. Anyone can access a list of these contracted agencies by going to the VDH Resource Connection website.

Clients conduct eligibility every 24 months for all Ryan White HIV/AIDS Part B (RWHAP B) services.  This includes ADAP services coordinated through VA MAP.  Agencies that subcontract with VDH for RWHAP B services are currently the only agencies who can perform these assessments for clients.  Navigate to the Find an Agency tab to find an agency that can perform assessments.

Navigate to the Provide® Enterprise tab if you have questions about entering Unified Eligibility Assessments.

The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) provides U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications for the treatment of HIV and related illnesses to low income clients with HIV disease who have no or limited health care coverage. ADAPs may use program funds to pay for health insurance premiums or medication co-payments for eligible clients.  To be eligible for ADAP, clients must be living with HIV and meet income and other eligibility criteria as established by the state.  Virginia’s ADAP program is called the Virginia Medication Assistance Program or VA MAP.

Medical Case Management, including Treatment Adherence Services, provides a range of client-centered activities focused on improving health outcomes along the HIV care continuum.  Activities provided under this service category may be provided by an interdisciplinary team that includes other specialty care providers. Medical Case Management includes all types of case management encounters (e.g., face-to-face, phone contact, and any other forms of communication). Key activities include:  initial assessment of service needs, development of a comprehensive, individualized care plan, timely and coordinated access to medically appropriate levels of health and support services and continuity of care, continuous client monitoring to assess the care plan, re-evaluation of the care plan at least every 6 months, ongoing assessment of the client’s and other key family members’ needs and personal support systems, treatment adherence counseling to ensure readiness for and adherence to complex HIV treatment, and client-specific advocacy and/or review of utilization of services.  In addition, Medical Case Management may also provide benefits counseling by assisting eligible clients to access other public and private programs for which they may be eligible (e.g., Medicaid, Medicare Part D, State Pharmacy Assistance Programs, Pharmaceutical Manufacturer’s Patient Assistance Programs, other state or local health care and supportive services, and insurance plans through the health insurance Marketplaces/Exchanges).  Medical Case Management services have as their objective improving health care outcomes.

Oral Health Care services provide outpatient diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic services by dental health care professionals, including general dental practitioners, dental specialists, dental hygienists, and licensed dental assistants.

Non-Medical Case Management Services (NMCM) provide guidance and assistance in accessing medical, social, community, legal, financial, and other needed services. Non-Medical Case management services may also include assisting eligible clients to obtain access to other public and private programs for which they may be eligible, such as Medicaid, Medicare Part D, State Pharmacy Assistance Programs, Pharmaceutical Manufacturer’s Patient Assistance Programs, other state or local health care and supportive services, or health insurance Marketplace plans. This service category includes several methods of communication including face-to-face, phone contact, and any other forms of communication deemed appropriate by the RWHAP Part recipient.  NMCM Services have as their objective providing coordination, guidance and assistance in improving access to and retention in needed medical and support services to mitigate and eliminate barriers to HIV care services.

Medical Transportation is the provision of nonemergency transportation services that enables an eligible client to access or be retained in core medical and support services.

Psychosocial Support Services provide group or individual support and counseling services to assist HRSA RWHAP-eligible PLWH to address behavioral and physical health concerns.  In Virginia, this service only covers Unified Eligibility Assessments (UEAs) to determine client eligibility for RWHAPB services.
