Hospitalization rates among persons with HIV who gained Medicaid or private insurance after the Affordable Care Act in 2014.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether gaining inpatient healthcare coverage had an effect on hospitalization rates among persons with HIV following implementation of the Affordable Care Act in 2014. Hospitalization data from 2015 were obtained on adults receiving longitudinal care at HIV clinics; all patients were previously uninsured and supported by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) in 2013. Findings showed that acquiring inpatient coverage was not associated with a change in hospitalization rates.

Affordable Care Act qualified health plan coverage: association with improved HIV viral suppression for AIDS drug assistance program clients in a Medicaid nonexpansion state.
The objective of this study was to characterize the demographic and healthcare delivery factors associated with Virginia AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) clients' qualified health plan (QHP) enrollment and to assess the relationship between qualified health coverage and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral suppression. It concluded that QHP coverage was associated with viral suppression, an essential outcome for individuals and for public health.

Healthcare coverage for HIV provider visits before and after implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
The researchers compared HIV provider coverage pre (2011-2013) versus post (first half of 2014) ACA among a total of 28,374 persons living with HIV (PLWH) followed in 4 sites in Medicaid expansion states (CA, OR, MD), 4 in a state (NY) that expanded Medicaid in 2001, and 2 in non-expansion states (TX, FL). In expansion state sites, half of PLWH relying on Ryan White HIVAIDS Program(RWHAP)/Uncomp shifted to Medicaid, while in NY and non-expansion state sites, reliance on RWHAP/Uncomp remained constant.

PPACA and low-income people living with HIV: 2014 qualified health plan enrollment in a Medicaid nonexpansion state.
This review examined qualified heallth plan enrollment of AIDS Drug Assistance Programs clients in Virginia, a Medicaid nonexpansion state, and explored some issues that affect people living with HIV in other Medicaid nonexpansion states. The authors recommend that as healthcare delivery models shift, the effects on patients and health outcomes achieved should be monitored, particularly for chronic diseases such as HIV.

Health insurance coverage for persons in HIV care, 2006-2012.
The authors examined trends in health insurance coverage at 11 US HIV clinics between 2006 and 2012. They found that Medicaid coverage was more prevalent among women than men; blacks and Hispanics than whites; and individuals with injection drug use risk compared with other transmission risk factors, with Hispanics and younger age groups more likely to be uninsured than other racial/ethnic and older age groups, respectively.
