• State and National Resources - Michigan specific contact information for different programs through which you can access a variety of services. This page also includes national resources, and links to other sources.


• Care Networks and Care Providers : Michigan has HIV Care Consortia agencies and organizations that can either provide or refer you to a case manager or a health care provider. This is funded by the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act. The participating agencies are listed, as are some other resources.


• Accessing Treatments and other Resources : Michigan has a list or formulary of drugs and other services they cover through ADAP and other programs.Other potential sources of treatments for people with HIV or Hepatitis are also listed.


• Hepatitis Resources : Michigan has statewide Hepatitis vaccination programs, and covers some treatments for hepatitis B and Hepatitis C through their program.

Michigan ADAP and ADAP Plus - Both Genotypic and Phenotypic tests are covered. ADAP will pay for a maximum of three tests total (geno or pheno) in a patient year. Certain anti-HIV combinations may be subject to "utilization review thresholds", which means they may question your doctor if you are taking a combination of 5 or 6 drugs or higher doses than typically used. Some antiretroviral combinations may be subject to utilization review thresholds. Michigan ADAP also covers hydroxyurea, a cancer drug that is taken with Videx as a possible treatment for people with HIV.

The best way to find out if you need to pay anything for drugs or care through these programs (called a co-pay) or what restrictions that a state might have on treatments is to contact your ADAP or a CARE Consortium provider directly. We try to provide the most up-to-date information here as well, to give you a good idea of what is available.
