developed by the Federal AIDS Policy Partnership's HIV Health Care Access Working Group offer important details on the new program for people denied health coverage due to a pre-existing condition.

Industry Assistance Programs for HIV and Hepatitis Medications
Over the past year, the Fair Pricing Coalition (FPC) has tackled patient health insurance co-payment (co-pay) programs and patient drug assistance programs (PAPs) and negotiated co-pay programs with almost every major HIV drug manufacturer. The attached document provides updated information on co-pay assistance programs and programs that provide medications for HIV and Hepatitis B and C.
