(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 27, 2015 ) Miami, FL -- In a recent article published by the Sun Sentinel, Florida's government has taken a stand against unfair healthcare coverage and costly policies for patients living with HIV/AIDS. Recently the Office of Insurance Regulation warned insurance companies they would have to justify their high tier costs for these medications, providing adequate, medically sound reasons, why their policies are not considered discriminatory, according to the Sun Sentinel. The Office of Insurance Regulation was notified after four health insurance companies group 30 AIDS treatment medications into the most expensive co-pay tier. Out of the 108,608 people living with HIV/AIDS in Florida, of which 26,678 love in Broward County and 27,899 live in Miami-Dade as of April, many paid upwards of $1,000 per medical visit, based on their healthcare insurance providers including: Aetna, Humana, Cigna, and Preferred Medical.
Miami Drug Rehab is a drug treatment facility in Miami dedicated to helping those with substance use disorders recover. As a result of intravenous drug use, many addicts come into contact with the virus by sharing dirty needles, putting themselves and addiction specialists at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS. Miami Drug Rehab applauds Florida's new initiative to make HIV/AIDS treatment fair for those living with the disease.
In direct response to the notice issued by Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation, a Miami Drug Rehab associate comments, "The new measures set forth by Florida's office of Insurance is spot-on. Even though this issue is important to many, our clients in particular will benefit from amendments made to unfair insurance policies. Many people contract HIV before they seek help for their addictions. This of course later compounds recovery, because learning to live with this life long disease is difficult, and can cause many to relapse, from the sheer weight of it. It's wrong for insurance companies to take advantage of people who are already struggling to make positive changes in their lives and healthfully manage their conditions."
