Important Update 9/16/20: Effective immediately, clients due to recertify in HDAP on September 30th and beyond will be subject to HDAP’s standard screening and enrollment procedures consistent with the ongoing phased reopening. All clients due to recertify in HDAP must submit a complete application that they are eligible for during this cycle (short or long form) with the required documentation. Clients who do not submit the appropriate application by their recertification date will term out of the program until their application is received and approved.

For NEW clients applying to HDAP for the first time:
Eligible clients who submit a long-form will be approved through HDAP’s standard screening/approval processes.
If clients/case managers are unable to submit a complete application, CRI will accept a rapid eligibility form (see crine.org for downloadable form and guidance/instructions). Eligible clients will be approved for three months of HDAP coverage.
HDAP/CHII will pay for health insurance premiums for all active and eligible CHII clients for insurance coverage through November 2020.
HDAP will reimburse pharmacies for prescription charges submitted for “early” fills (prescriptions filled before the usual refill approval date), as allowed by the client’s insurer.
