Ryan White CARE Act: The History

Ryan White Program in Kansas

In response to the AIDS crisis, Congress enacted the Ryan White CARE (Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency) Act in August 1990 to improve the availability of care for low-income, uninsured, and underinsured individuals and families affected by HIV and AIDS.

The Ryan White Ryan White HIVAIDS Treatment Modernization Act is the primary funder for HIV/AIDS health and social services including primary medical care, medication assistance, health insurance assistance, mental health counseling, substance use treatment, home health care, dental care and medical case management. Ryan White CARE funding and administration are managed by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), which is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The State of Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is the state-level agency within Kansas that distributes and manages the Ryan White Part B and ADAP programs as mandated by the Ryan White HIVAIDS Treatment Modernization Act.

Part B medical case management services provide clients with linkages to health, social and wrap-around services from key access points across Kansas. It should be noted, however, that Ryan White funding is considered the payor of last resort, meaning if a client has access to other forms of support (i.e. private insurance or Medicaid), those forms of support must be utilized first prior to accessing Ryan White funding.

In 2006, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 was passed. The 2006 law changed how Ryan White funds may be used with an emphasis on providing life-saving and life-extending services for people living with HIV/AIDS across the country. Key changes in the 2006 legislation included the following:

  •  The programs are no longer identified as Title I, II, III, IV and V. Instead they are identified as Part A, B, C, D, and F.
  •  A new method for determining eligibility for Part A funds gives priority to urban areas with the highest number of people living with AIDS, while also providing assistance to mid-size cities and areas with emerging needs. The Kansas City Transitional Grant Area (TGA) receives Part A funding.
  •  A new method for distributing Part A funds directs money to metropolitan areas with the highest number of people who are HIV positive. It also encourages outreach and testing, getting people into treatment sooner and saving more lives.
  •  More money is spent on direct health care for Ryan White clients. Grantees receiving funds under Parts A, B, and C must spend at least 75 percent (75%) of funds on "core medical services," which include ambulatory outpatient medical care, oral health, mental health, outpatient substance abuse treatment, medical nutritional therapy, medical case management and drug assistance.
  •  The 2006 law recognizes that HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact on racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. The 2006 law incorporates the aspects of the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) to address the unique needs of minority populations.

For more information on the Ryan White HIVAIDS Treatment Modernization Act and the specifics of each Part, please visit the Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau website at http://hab.hrsa.gov.

The HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) was formed in August 1997 to consolidate all programs funded under the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act. In serving people and families affected by HIV/AIDS, the Bureau, headed by HRSA Associate Administrator Deborah Parham, Ph.D., RN, has identified four factors that have significant implications for HIV/AIDS care, services and treatment:

  1. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is growing among traditionally underserved and hard-to-reach populations.
  2. The quality of emerging HIV/AIDS therapies can make a difference in the lives of people living with HIV.
  3. Changes in the economics of health care are affecting the HIV/AIDS care network.
  4. Policy and funding increasingly are determined by outcomes.

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act addresses the health needs of persons living with HIV disease (PLWH) by funding primary health care and support services that enhance access to and retention in care. The following principles were crafted by HAB to guide Ryan White programs in implementing Ryan White provisions and emerging challenges in HIV/AIDS care:

  •  Revise care systems to meet emerging needs. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act stresses the role of local planning and decision making-with broad community involvement-to determine how to best meet HIV/AIDS care needs. This requires assessing the shifting demographics of new HIV/AIDS cases and revising care systems (e.g., capacity development to expand available services) to meet the needs of emerging communities and populations. A priority focus is on meeting the needs of traditionally underserved populations hardest hit by the epidemic, particularly PLWH who know their HIV status and are not in care. This entails outreach, early intervention services (EIS), and other needed services to ensure that clients receive primary health care and supportive services-directly or through appropriate linkages.

    •  
  •  Ensure access to quality HIV/AIDS care.The quality of HIV/AIDS medical care-including combination antiretroviral therapies and prophylaxis/treatment for opportunistic infections-can make a difference in the lives of PLWH. Programs should use quality management programs to ensure that available treatments are accessible and delivered according to established HIV-related treatment guidelines.

    •  
  •  Coordinate Ryan White services with other health care delivery systems. Programs need to use Ryan White services to fill gaps in care. This requires coordination across Ryan White programs and with other Federal/State/local programs. Such coordination can help maximize efficient use of resources, enhance systems of care, and ensure coverage of HIV/AIDS-related services within managed care plans (particularly Medicaid managed care).

    •  
  •  Evaluate the impact of Ryan White funds and make needed improvements. Federal policy and funding decisions are increasingly determined by outcomes. Programs need to document the impact of Ryan White funds on improving access to quality care/treatment along with areas of continued need. Programs also need to have in place quality assurance and evaluation mechanisms that assess the effects of Ryan White resources on the health outcomes of clients.

State of Kansas Ryan White Program . . .

The Ryan White Program in the State of Kansas has been assisting Kansans living with HIV before the enactment of The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act in 1990. These resources included private donations, community-based organizations throughout the state and federal funding for a statewide ADAP (1987). Since this time, the Ryan White Program has received federal and state funding for assistance with the following:

  •  Medications through the statewide AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP);
  •  Medical Case Management;
  •  Primary Care services;
  •  Dental Care services;
  •  Mental Health (MH) services; and
  •  Substance Abuse (SA) services.

The State of Kansas, the Kansas Ryan White Program and the Ryan White Part B Planning Body, has defined that the purpose of these funds is to provide care for persons living with HIV infection who are not covered by public or private sources. They also assure that all Kansans living with HIV infection throughout the state have access to the resources to monitor, adhere, and treat infection, in order to achieve the highest quality of life possible.

The services are supported by a federal grant available through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment and Modernization Act from the Human. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment HIV/AIDS Section Ryan White Part B Program is responsible for administration of Part B programs.

Part B funds are to be accessed only when no other support is available, serving as payor of last resort. It should also be noted that services might not be available for the entire year if funds become limited.

Client P.R.I.M.E. Responsibilities

As a direct result of the changes within the Kansas AIDS Drug Assistance Program, the program began trying to ensure that services would continue to be met. One way in found was through the creation of "Client PRIME Responsibilities." These responsibilities are the following:

Provide

Provide accurate and up-to-date information to medical case management, such as changes in address, income, and other insurance;

Renew

Renew annually and semi-annually with your Ryan White case manager, AND follow-up with your SRS case worker;

Include

Include your case manager and healthcare provider in the decision-making process;

Maintain

Maintain contact with your Medicaid AND Ryan White Case Manager; and

Evaluate

Evaluate your services and your health by asking questions – Don’t Assume.

These responsibilities were created to assist in the empowerment of medication adherence by encompassing all aspects of care into the process. It is hoped that by exercising these few keys, the client and case manager can ensure continual coverage of medications and adhere to a prescribed regimen.

General Program Eligibility and Reimbursement

The services described below will have varying eligibility and reimbursement criteria. Below are listed an overall set of guidelines that apply to all services administered by the Kansas Ryan White Program. Most items may be reiterated upon throughout the manual.

Linkage to Care Program

The Linkage to Care (LTC) Program is a standard service to navigate HIV-positive individuals through care once they know their HIV positive result. The primary goal of Linkage to Care is to link the newly diagnosed individual into medical care. HIV/AIDS Section of the Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention recognizes that delays in seeking medical care have obvious implications both for treatment and prognosis of HIV-infected patients, and for the further propagation of the epidemic. In recognition of this problem, Linkage to Care is the primary prevention/care model that will be utilized to link HIV-infected persons to appropriate medical care, prevention services, local resources and treatment soon after testing HIV positive.

Provider Enrollment and Eligibility

In addition to those criteria listed above under General Program Eligibility and Reimbursement, clients must also ensure that the clinic or person is a provider actively enrolled in the Kansas Ryan White Program.

It is through the provider eligibility that the differences between the services can vary. Below are listed the criteria necessary for basic enrollment:

  •  Current license within the State of Kansas or comparable licensure board;
     
  •  Approved Kansas Ryan White Program provider;
     
  •  Approved Kansas Medicaid provider;
     
  •  In good standing with comparable regulatory board (such as the Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board [BSRB]); and

AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP)

The Kansas AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is a statewide program that assists eligible clients obtain medications for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The Kansas ADAP works collaboratively with Kansas Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) Program, also referred to as the state’s Medicaid Program. Through this partnership state agency’s, the Kansas Ryan White Program maintains all the eligibility of the ADAP while the Medicaid Program oversees all the claims processing of the program.

The Kansas ADAP is funded through a variety of sources. Although a majority of funding is received through the Human Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the program also receives funding from the State of Kansas and rebates through pharmaceutical companies. Those clients identified through the Kansas ADAP and the Kansas Medically Needy program (Medicaid) with an unmet spenddown are additionally benefited through these funding sources. State funds are used for claims on these individuals in order to meet a spenddown even though the client is not obligated for the expense. Those clients accessing ADAP services and have Medicaid Medically Needy are automatically eligible for spenddown assistance.

Services

Services are available to all enrolled clients within the Kansas Ryan White Program. These services provide reimbursement for medications listed on the Kansas ADAP Medication Formulary. This formulary currently includes all FDA-approved medications for the treatment of HIV infection, including other medications that are utilized for prevention and treatment of secondary infections. Persons also eligible for other benefit plan coverage, such as Medicaid, Medically Needy (Spenddown) or MediKan will have covered services under the particular benefit plan.

Medication Co-Pay Assistance Program (for clients with private insurance)

The Co-Pay Assistance Program is designed for those clients who currently have insurance yet find the out-of-pocket expenses for medications a barrier to maintaining medication adherence. Although the insurance plan is offered through an employer or high-risk pool, the prescription benefit plan is designed for individuals who are not “high utilizers” of prescription medications. These types of plans can be very harmful to clients in maintaining their adherence to a multi-drug therapy. The following are NOT allowable expenses to the Co-Pay Assistance Program:

  •  Payment of co-pays already paid by the clients;
  •  Co-pays for medications not on the Ryan White Program ADAP Formulary in place at the time of service; and
  •  Payment of co-pays where the pharmacy or pharmaceutical company is not contracted with Kansas Medicaid.

Dental Care Services

The Kansas Ryan White Program Dental Care Program assists clients in preventative oral hygiene and infection control that can pose a greater burden on the immune system. As health care professionals, dentists have the moral, ethical and legal obligation to attend to the oral health needs of all patients.

The "healthy" HIV-infected patient with a CD-4 count above 200 can usually receive routine dental treatment in the office of a general practitioner. No special procedures -- only universal precautions -- are required. An individual’s HIV-status should be obtained in every health history, but it must not be used as a "barrier" to access to dental care. It is privileged information and must not be disclosed by the dentist or office staff.

The Dental Care Provider Network is made up of limited providers throughout the State of Kansas that are willing to provide these services.  Dental services are available to any Ryan White Part B approved client who does not have access to other dental coverage. |

Certification of Case Management Services

As the front line in providing vital service linkages for people living with HIV/AIDS, medical case managers, medical case manager assistants and students must be adequately and appropriately experienced and trained.  While imposing a statewide standard for the type of experience required for staff is not feasible, training and certification of the skills and knowledge medical case managers must possess are both possible and desirable.  To achieve this standard, the following information provides guidance on the training and certification process for medical case management agency staff.

Minimum education and experience requirements shall be:

Medical case managers:

  •  An RN with BSN or social worker with BSW or other related health or human services degree from an accredited college or university

Medical case manager assistants:

  •  Some college education in health or human services with one year of relevant work experience in HIV/AIDS, health or human services, or
  •  A high school diploma with two years of relevant work experience in HIV/AIDS, health or human services

Students:

  •  A senior year student internship or practicum field placement from a 4-year accredited academic institution in social work, public health, psychology, nursing, or other related health and human services degree for a specified duration of time.

Staff must meet the minimum health requirements of their respective employers and are required by KDHE to submit documentation of tuberculosis skin testing (PPD) once every 12 months to meet the minimum health requirements.  

All medical case managers and medical case manager assistants will complete:

  1. Mandatory Security and Confidentiality Training with KDHE annually.  This training is in addition to any agency specific training.
    1. Newly hired medical case management staff must complete this training with KDHE within the first 30 days of employment.
  2. A minimum of 2 hours of case supervision with their assigned supervisor each month.
  3. Each medical case manager should complete the following course of actions within the first 12 months of employment. Registration for courses will be facilitated on-line at: https://ks.train.org.
    1. Course #1 HIV/STD Basic Training (online)         
    2. Request counselor number at http://www.kdheks.gov/hiv/counselor_request_form.htm
    3. Course #2 - HIV Prevention and Behavior Change Counseling Strategies (live training)
    4. Complete Rapid Test training through KDHE State Labs if your site offers HIV rapid testing. Your agency will need to contact the KDHE HIV Counseling, Testing, and Linkage Director to schedule training (visit http://www.kdheks.gov/hiv for contact information)
    5. Course #3 - HIV Counseling, Testing and Referral Program Update (online)
    6. Course #4 - HIV Cultural Diversity Training (online)         
    7. Course #5 - HIV OraSure Testing is required if your agency offers HIV rapid testing or only offers OraSure testing.

New medical case managers are responsible for passing this test within the first 30 days of employment. Each person may attempt to pass the test twice within a 30 day period; if a person does not pass the test on the second attempt or complete it within the time frame, that staff member will not be certified as a Ryan White Part B Medical Case Manager and may not serve in that capacity under KDHE Ryan White Part B funds. It is up to the discretion of the medical case management agency to determine whether that staff member can benefit the agency in another capacity other than as a Part B Medical Case Manager.
  2. Participate in any and all KDHE Quality Management initiatives. Each agency will be required to have its own quality management plan and actively participate in the bettering of HIV client services. Each agency should have a designated representative to assist with KDHE Quality Management activities.
