The Colorado AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Recertification Form is a crucial document for individuals seeking to renew their enrollment in the program that provides essential medication assistance, health insurance assistance, and bridging services through "Bridging the Gap, Colorado." This form is necessary even if a person's enrollment has already expired. Applicants are required to provide comprehensive information including their legal name, any changes within the last six months, contact details, medical information, household income, and access to health insurance among other details. It's important for applicants to understand that returning this form is mandatory as failure to do so can result in a loss of medication and/or insurance assistance provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and regional AIDS Service Organizations. This form also plays a vital role in updating the CDPHE on any changes that might affect an individual's eligibility for services funded by Ryan White. Additionally, the form outlines the process for verifying an applicant’s HIV status, Colorado residency, and financial situation, emphasizing the importance of accurate and complete information. The CDPHE requires client eligibility to be reviewed twice a year in compliance with federal legislation, underscoring the significance of this recertification form in ensuring continued support for those living with HIV in Colorado.

I certify that the information provided in this application is complete and accurate, to the best of my knowledge.
I understand that my failure to be accurate and complete may prevent or delay a determination of eligibility to receive assistance from ADAP.

I authorize the CDPHE to release information to my physicians, case manager, treatment centers, and other healthcare providers to facilitate provision of ADAP services.
I understand and agree to submit periodic information regarding my continued eligibility for ADAP, including proof of income, proof of residency, health insurance coverage, and general updates on forms provided by the CDPHE. I understand that changes in my situation will be evaluated to determine my continued eligibility for ADAP. I will be notified in writing if I am to be discontinued from ADAP.

-The CDPHE becomes aware of material misrepresentation, withheld information, or documented fraud, or
-Qualifying medication is no longer being prescribed to me.
