Insurance Services Program(ISP)

The Insurance Service Program (ISP) is an enrollment-based program designed to maintain private health insurance coverage for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWA). The Health Councils created the Insurance Services Program (ISP) in February 2002 to go along with the AIDS Insurance Continuation Program (AICP). Both programs provide for the payment of health insurance services (e.g., premiums, prescription drug co-pays) for People Living with HIV/AIDS in an eight county area. But, there are differences in eligibility rules and service benefits between the two programs. Most of the time, the AICP gives greater support for the payment of health insurance premiums, while the ISP gives greater support for the payment of prescription drug co-pay fees. Together, the two programs provide benefits in excess of $1.4 million each year, funded in part by General Revenue funds provided by the State of Florida and federal funds that flow to the State of Florida through the Ryan White Care Act.  Clients are enrolled in ISP by the case managers who coordinate the delivery of HIV/AIDS program services for PLWAs in the eight county service area.  For more information please click on Current Programs at the top of this page.
