In order to prevent this unfunded need from getting any larger, the UDOH will stop accepting new for the Utah Departments Ryan White applications AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), Support Services Program and the Health Insurance Continuation Program. This decision is consistent with the recommendation of the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Advisory Committee, which consists of local health care experts and community advocates for those with HIV AIDS. These patient services are funded with a $3.2 million grant from the federal Health Resources Services Association (HRSA) and the current funding cycle ends in March 2005. Due to both an increased caseload of those who are eligible for the programs as well as an increase in the costs of medications, insurance premiums and medical services, the program is unable to accept additional clients and needs as much as $800,000 just to maintain services at the current level. Options are being explored by the UDOH to reprioritize the use of existing funds, modify the service package, and secure additional federal funds. While these options are being studied, clients currently enrolled in the AIDS Drug Assistance, Health Insurance and the Supportive Services programs will continue to receive services.

The case will continue into 2005, with an exhaustive analysis of Utah Powers financial results and forecasts, and hearings before the PSC. By law, the process can take up to eight months.
