Most health plans would cover HIV prevention drugs and care for free.
This bill would make it easier to get HIV prevention drugs and care. Most health plans, like private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, would cover these services with no extra costs. It would also stop other insurance companies from denying coverage if you take these drugs, and would pay for public education and grant programs.
Today, coverage for HIV prevention drugs and services can vary by insurance plan, sometimes requiring co-pays, deductibles, or prior approval, and some individuals may face discrimination in other insurance types. After this bill, most health insurance plans would be required to cover these services fully, without extra costs or most prior approvals, and discrimination in life, disability, and long-term care insurance based on taking these drugs would be illegal. There would also be new public education and grant programs to improve access.
