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/AIDS
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.
