Medical Verification
Your physician is required to complete and sign DC ADAPs medical eligibility form verifying your HIV/AIDS status. ALL INFORMATION IS CONFIDENTIAL.
Insurance Coverage
Premium Program Requirements
DC ADAP will only pay for applicant’s premium, not the premium for any of his or her family members. No payments will be made to the client directly; all payments will be made to the insurance company or employer. If ADAP is paying a client’s premium to his or her employer (as part of a group plan), ADAP will only pay the employee’s portion – not the entire premium. Premiums are paid on a monthly basis
Insurance Co-payment and Deductible Program Requirements
Coverage for all co-payments and deductibles are exclusively available for drugs on the DC ADAP formulary. Clients must utilize the DC Network pharmacies for coverage of co-payments and deductibles. Co-payments and/or deductibles cannot exceed monthly and annual cost units required by the DC ADAP program.
Proof of Income
Proof of income is required. Financial eligibility is based on 500% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL): FPL varies based on household size and is updated annually. Financial eligibility is calculated on the gross income available to the household. See chart below.

For Wage Earners
Income should be documented by copies of pay stubs for the past 30 days. The paystub must show the year-to-date earnings, hours worked, all deductions and the dates covered by the paystub. If you cannot get a paystub, send us a notarized letter from your employer showing gross pay for the past 30 days along with a copy of your most recent income tax return. (The letter does not need to be addressed to the Programs. A letter addressed “to whom it may concern” is sufficient.)
