What is PAPI?
PAPI (Prevention Assistance Program Interventions) is an Ohio Department of Health program designed to reduce HIV transmission by lowering the out-of-pocket expenses patients pay for PrEP, a once daily pill that is 99% effective at preventing HIV. Coupled with patient assistance programs, PAPI makes PrEP free for most Ohioans.
PAPI pays for PrEP-related medical costs such as office visits, lab work, and prescriptions. ODH enrolls providers into the PAPI program and reimburses them directly for all PrEP-related services. PAPI reimbursement rates are typically 30% higher than Medicare reimbursement rates.
