Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) have established a cooperative agreement titled Using Real-time Prescription and Insurance Claims Data to Support the HIV Care Continuum (CDC RFA-PS-19-003). The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to develop, implement, and evaluate an "insurance-based data-to-care (D2C)" model. The insurance-based D2C model will start with Medicaid claims (diagnosis and procedure) to identify persons with diagnosed HIV, and then use real-time Medicaid claims data to determine whether these individuals have current antiretroviral (ARV) prescriptions. Persons with HIV who show lapsed ARV medications will receive a set of escalating adherence, retention, and re-linkage interventions. The research study will test the effectiveness of the approach (on viral suppression) as well as the cost-effectiveness of the approach. |
