Medical Case Management
Metropolitan Charities offers a variety of programs to serve people living with HIV and AIDS, including Medical Case Management—linkage services to needed services with an emphasis on medical disease management and treatment adherence in order to assist clients in becoming increasingly self-sufficient with the goal of improved overall health and taking charge of their disease. We offer two main types of case management:
1) For a person who is HIV+ and living in Florida, they may be eligible for RYAN WHITE Treatment Modernization Act funded medical case management at Metro. To be determined eligible, an applicant must provide acceptable proof of HIV infection, proof of residency in Florida and proof of income—and they must be in medical care, receiving primary care on at least an annual basis. Once determined eligible, they may (depending on capacity) be able to be enrolled in Medical Case Management—and receive education about your disease, encouragement regarding being faithful to treatment, referrals to identified needed services, such as medications, insurance assistance, housing assistance, food pantry, Minority AIDS Initiative and other programs.
2) For a person who has the diagnosis of AIDS and meets disability and income requirements, they may be enrolled in Case management under Florida Medicaid’s “Project AIDS Care” program involves the coordination of a wide range of supportive services that will allow a person to remain safely in their home instead of being institutionalized. Clients in this program also receive full Medicaid benefits covering such services as medical care, medications, hospitalization, basic dental services, etc.
To be eligible for the program, one must:
1. Have a maximum monthly income of $1911 from all sources and less than $2,000 in assets (excluding home and car)
2. Have a medical diagnosis of AIDS and be at risk of hospitalization
3. Be able to maintain safely residence in the home with assistance provided by support services
