The Role of the Medicaid and Medicare Programs for People Living with HIV/AIDS
Two new fact sheets provide an overview of the role of the Medicaid and Medicare programs for people living with HIV/AIDS including federal funding estimates, eligibility criteria and services, profile of beneficiaries, and future outlook. Most people living with HIV/AIDS who qualify for Medicaid are Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries, meaning they are both disabled and low income. The majority of Medicare beneficiaries with HIV/AIDS are under the age of 65 and disabled, and most also rely on Medicaid.
