AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP)
Qualified individuals have limited or no coverage under Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance which may provide access to medications for the treatment of HIV disease.
As of February 21, 2007, Nebraska's ADAP formulary includes approximately 120 medications including medications currently approved by the FDA for the treatment of HIV disease. In addition to Federal funding, ADAP receives an additional State funding for HIV medications.
The UNMC acts as the ADAP provider for Nebraska. Qualified individuals statewide receive medications either through walk-in pharmacy services at the hospital or through a mail order system. Nebraska's Ryan White Part B Program does not currently have a waiting list for its ADAP.
Medicare Part D
The Nebraska Medicare Part D Program is coordinated through UNMC in conjunction with the ADAP. Eligibility requirements must be met in order for the Program to assist clients with services. It is a requirement that all Medicare Part D eligible clients who are enrolled in ADAP be enrolled in Medicare Part D. Nebraska Ryan White Part B funds may be utilized for the payment of Medicare Part D Insurance Premiums and other services for ADAP enrolled clients who are eligible for Medicare Part D in accordance with Program requirements.Nebraska Resources

Waiting List? - Sometimes a state has a waiting list people have to stay on until spaces become available. Check to see if there is a waiting list for the program by contacting them directly. According to NASTAD's most recent ADAP Watch Nebraska does not have a waiting list. You may need to try a Patient Assistance Program or apply for Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance. Do not ever drop your private insurance without first seeing if your state will cover part or the whole premium, especially if you have children.
