An ADAP's coverage--who and what is covered--is determined by each ADAP's eligibility and other program criteria, and ADAPs may establish waiting lists for eligible individuals. ADAPs may purchase their drugs through the 340B federal drug pricing program, which provides discounts on certain drugs to covered entities. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) oversees ADAPs and is responsible for monitoring the prices they pay. GAO was asked to examine (1) coverage differences among ADAPs, (2) how the prices ADAPs reported paying for HIV/AIDS drugs compare to 340B prices, (3) how HRSA monitors the drug prices ADAPs pay, and (4) how the 340B prices compare to other selected federal drug pricing programs. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-646/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-646.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-646/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-646.pdf GAO-06-646 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-646 Other Written Product GAO-06-646; Ryan White CARE Act: Improved Oversight Needed to Ensure AIDS Drug Assistance Programs Obtain Best Prices for Drugs; Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome Comparative analysis Cost analysis Eligibility criteria Federal grants Health care costs Health care programs Health policy Prescription drugs Prices and pricing Procurement Sexually transmitted diseases AIDS Drug Assistance Program Volume 104 Page 576 104 Stat. 576 Volume 110 Page 1346 110 Stat. 1346
