Prevention Assistance Program Interventions (PAPI)
PAPI is ODH’s PrEP assistance program. ODH is currently enrolling PAPI providers into the system. Providers include both pharmacies and medical providers. Medical providers can either provide PrEP care based on ODH HIV Prevention’s fee schedule and be reimbursed for services (full-care provider) or they can be co-pay providers where the state pays the client’s co-pays associated with PrEP care.
To become a PAPI provider, complete the Provider Request and email it to PAPI@odh.ohio.gov. More detailed information about PAPI can be found on the PAPI webpage.
