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:
