The Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Division of Disease Prevention has administered Ryan White Part B funding for health care services to persons living with HIV/AIDS in Virginia since 1991. A major part of Part B funding is for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) that provides AIDS medications to persons who are not on Medicaid or Medicare, have no health insurance, no other form of payment, and earn up to 300% (333% in Northern Virginia) of the Federal poverty level annually. The remaining funds provide health care services. Ryan White funding is the payer of last resort. Services are targeted to deliver medical care and support services, prioritizing women, children and infants with HIV/AIDS. All grantees receiving Ryan White funding are required to participate in the development of a Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need (SCSN) document.
The Virginia Department of Health supports case management services with Ryan White Part B funds managed by regional consortia. Providers of Part B-funded case management follow statewide Standards that were developed through a collaborative effort between VDH and case management providers. The Standards and resources to assist in implementation may be accessed through the above link.
Regional Consortia
There are five (5) Health Regions in the Commonwealth and each have a Regional Consortium that coordinates and facilitates Ryan White Part B funds that are received in the region and should be accessed as a point of contact (PoC) for accessing information on all Ryan White funding, not only in their respective region, but throughout the State as well.
