Affordable care act
information & Resources If you are
a Ryan White client needing help and/or information regarding Health
Insurance, please contact your Case Manager or a Navigator/Assister at your
primary care clinic. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a historic
opportunity for all Americans, including People Living with HIV and those
receiving services through the Ryan White Program, to increase their access
to affordable, quality health care.
Many Ryan White clients will gain access to health insurance or see
their current health insurance improve as a result
of the ACA. In the Houston Area, the
majority of Ryan White clients will continue to receive their current HIV
care at their established providers with little or no change. This page provides links to helpful
information about the ACA and its various impacts on the Ryan White Program.

you need assistance, a trained representative can help you enroll. Local Call Center:
