Description
This opportunity supports the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP), which aims to improve access to oral health care for low-income people with HIV and enhance education and training for dental providers serving this population. The DRP provides partial reimbursement to eligible institutions for unreimbursed costs incurred in delivering oral health care to patients with HIV during a specified one-year period. Funds are distributed among eligible applicants based on the number of patients served and the extent of unreimbursed care costs relative to other applicants.
The program also requires recipients to ensure HIV-related oral health education and training for dental students, hygiene students, residents, or other providers. DRP funds are not intended as the sole source of support for oral health services and must supplement, not supplant, existing non-federal funds.
