Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Modeling Project--OMB
No. 0990-New-Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE) is requesting the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval of a new collection that will examine the service needs
under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program as the provisions of the
Affordable Care Act are implemented, and identify strategies for
ensuring that available federal resources are directed to areas of
greatest need. To supplement the analysis of existing quantitative data
sources, including Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program data, Medicaid
enrollment and claims data, and HIV surveillance data, this two-year
information collection request is for primary data collection in the
form of telephone interviews with administrators of Ryan White grants
and providers of HIV care services. In light of Congressional interest
expressed in Senate Report 111-243 concerning how the Ryan White
Program will transition into a larger system of care with the
implementation of the Affordable Care Act, these interviews will help
ASPE to understand the potential impact of the Affordable Care Act from
the perspectives of Ryan White grantees and service providers. The
interview protocols will cover topics including HIV service needs and
use; coordination of client insurance enrollment, benefits, and
services; factors that influence variation in HIV care costs and
selection of AIDS Drug Assistance Program cost containment procedures;
and methods of ensuring quality care.
