RE: NEW STANDARD AGREEMENT FOR THE AIDS DRUG ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (ADAP)Health Services Agency • August 23rd, 2021
In October 1989 the County of Santa Cruz entered into a Standard Agreement with the State Department of Health Services to operate the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). This program provides funding for medications for persons with AIDS who are not eligible for the Medi-Cal Program and whose incomes are within specified limits. Until 1997 the execution of a Standard Agreement was required each year for the County to receive ADAP funds. A Standard Agreement has not been required for the past two years because of program restructuring and new payment arrangements to providers through a pharmacy management contractor. For Fiscal Year 1999-00 the state is making funds available for the first time to offset some of the costs counties incur in operating the program. In order to receive the allocation to the County of Santa Cruz for the current fiscal year, a new Standard Agreement is required. A copy of this Standard Agreement is attached.
