South Carolina AIDS Drug Assistance Program

The South Carolina AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) provides HIV/AIDS treatment access to qualified low-income people living with HIV/AIDS in the state of South Carolina. Authorized under Part B of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act, ADAP is administered by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC).

SC ADAP is comprised of three programs. The Direct Dispensing Program (DDP) provides life saving HIV medications to eligible individuals through a third-party mail order pharmacy (CVS/Caremark). The Insurance Assistance Program (IAP) reimburses insurance premiums, copays and deductibles, for eligible clients with adequate insurance coverage, through a network of statewide pharmacies. The Medicare D Assistance Program (MAP) provides assistance with Medicare Part D copays and deductibles (even during the coverage gap or donut hole). For more information on DDP, IAP, or MAP please refer to the sections below.
