Uncovered Costs For PrEP
Although HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective in
reducing rates of HIV acquisition, cost remains a barrier to access.
In recent years, there have been changes to the US health insurance and
PrEP coverage landscapes that affect out-of-pocket spending for PrEP
medication and clinical care.
In this month's issue, Robert Bonacci and coauthors update estimates of
how many people in the US have uncovered costs for PrEP medication
<[link removed]>
and clinical care as well as the total annual uncovered costs under 2021
guideline and coverage conditions.
They find that 4 percent of US adults with PrEP indications have
uncovered costs for PrEP, totaling about $102 million in 2018. More than
90 percent of adults with uncovered costs were uncovered "for PrEP
clinical care only because they already qualified for PrEP medication
payment assistance."
Bonacci and coauthors note that increasing access to health insurance by
expanding Medicaid could improve access to PrEP and have significant
impacts in the southern US, "which has the lowest PrEP-to-need ratio
(the number of PrEP users divided by new HIV diagnoses) in the US."
