HIV Insurance Coverage
We are proud to provide HIV treatment services at our clinic, and recognize that many of our clients may need assistance with health insurance coverage. For this reason, the HIV clinic accepts most insurance plans outside of TX Medicaid; including People Health and Wellcare, which most other clinics do not accept.
Other plans generally cover specialty HIV drugs, such as those used in AntiRetroviral Therapy (ART). Copay and deductible assistance may be available to qualified patients.
If a patient is uninsured, we can help them enroll in a government-sponsored health insurance plan or assist with selecting a federal marketplace plan through Pride Life, an insurance broker we partner with. Pride Life Health Insurance can be contacted by phone at 225-228-1515.
Additionally, sliding fee discounts can be offered for those who qualify. Feel free to contact us for more information.
