Ryan White Fee Cap
The federal government sets limits on what you will have to pay toward your total healthcare costs each year when you visit health networks that accept Ryan White grant funding. These annual limits supersede your cost-sharing agreement with your insurance company. Once you reach your annual maximum, we will continue to bill your insurance, but your patient responsibility will be discounted to $0 for eligible services until January 1st of the following year.
Eligible services that we can count toward your annual maximum include medical appointments, labs, nurse visits, behavioral health visits, co-pays, hospital visits, and prescriptions. If you have healthcare bills from outside health networks, other agencies, or pharmacies, you can submit them to count toward your annual maximum. We are not able to pay those healthcare bills, but your healthcare services with us will be discounted.
