Key Messages on Ryan White & the ACA State-level decisions, particularly on Medicaid, will have significant implications for Ryan White More Ryan White clients will gain insurance coverage through Medicaid and private insurance coverage through the marketplace Greater share of Ryan White funding can shift to cover services not covered in private sector or by Medicaid, or those with limits Ryan White providers can join Medicaid and Marketplace provider networks – Marketplaces required to include essential community providers – Ryan White providers will need to proactively engage with marketplaces and Medicaid managed care networks Ryan White providers can assist clients with enrollment in new coverage options (including as Navigators & Assistors)

Key Messages, continued Ryan White will continue to be important source of care and services for many people with HIV: – Most Ryan White clients already have coverage but still need the program to complete their care, fill in gaps, help with costs. Even as more gain coverage, they may still need help – Ryan White provides important HIV-related services that are not always provided by insurance plans – Current Medicaid coverage of low income adults (who are not disabled) is very limited – Not all states will expand Medicaid, at least not in 2014 – Those who are undocumented are not eligible for Medicaid or marketplaces; Legal residents have 5 year waiting period for Medicaid
