CAP AIDS

CAP for Persons with AIDS (CAP/AIDS) is a statewide program which provides an alternative to nursing facility care for individuals:

• Of all ages,
• Who live in a private residence, and
• Who meet the medical criteria for participation in CAP/AIDS.

The AIDS Care Branch in the Division of Health Promotion (DHP):

• Is the state lead agency for CAP/AIDS,
• Determines who may participate in the program, and
• Is responsible for the program's operation, with oversight provided by the Division of Medical Assistance (DMA).

HCFA determines the number of individuals the state may serve each year.
