Why does the job exist?
The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is a federally funded initiative under the Ryan White Part B grant that assures access to life-saving medications for persons living with HIV (PLWH). With a budget of more than $3 million, this program ensures access for roughly 300 persons per year. ADAP is made more cost-effective by providing health insurance coverage to eligible PLWH, rather than buying medications directly, which requires expertise in a variety of private and public health insurance options including Medicaid, Medicare, Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans, and the New Mexico Medical Insurance Pool (NMMIP) high risk pool option. The HIV Medication Program Coordinator oversees both provision of health insurance, operation of the state’s contract pharmacy for HIV medications, and program revenue of more than $3 million per year generated via that contract.
How does it get done?
This position is responsible for:
1) Oversee enrollment in and premium payment for health insurance provided to PLWH, including Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans and high risk pool coverage.
2) Facilitate the state’s ADAP Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) to establish policies and provide clinical oversight for pharmaceutical options for clients.
3) Coordinate contracts related to health insurance and pharmaceutical services.
4) Provide training and support to HIV Service Provider (HSP) agencies in enrolling patients in insurance coverage, to identify options that are the most cost-effective in covering patient medical care and pharmaceuticals.
Who are the customers?
Persons living with HIV (PLWH) across New Mexico.
