The purpose of this memo is to inform Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Assistance Program (PrEP-AP) Clinical Providers (CPs) of policy updates regarding PrEP-AP’s allowable PrEP-related laboratory reimbursement rates.

The Allowable PrEP Related Medical ​Services document outlines the services for which patient out-of-pocket costs may be billed to PrEP-AP’s medical benefits manager, Pool Administrators, Inc. (PAI).

Clinical Providers are encouraged to review the updated reimbursement schedule in the Allowable PrEP Related Medical Services document and ensure that billing practices align with the revised rates.
