2. Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program / ADAP: AHF receives federal funding through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program which funds AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs). Federal funding for these programs has remained flat at $900.3 million annually since 2014.
3. 340B Drug Pricing Program Revenue: AHF participates in the 340B Drug Pricing Program, which allows safety-net providers to purchase drugs at discounted prices. Revenue is generated from the spread between the 340B discounted price and the reimbursement rate.
