The AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) has prepared a report on the estimated monthly out‐of‐pocket cost a person can expect to pay for Truvada as PrEP under each of the plans on the Illinois health insurance marketplace offered in Cook County. When taken consistently and correctly, PrEP can reduce one’s risk of contracting HIV by close to 100%.
For more information on insurance company coverage of Truvada as PrEP, as well as personal stories of people using insurance to access PrEP, visit myprepexperience.org.
Premiums are shown as an example only for a single adult age 30. Deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket cost limits shown are for a single person. This is not a comprehensive guide to choosing a health care plan. For more information, visit healthcare.gov or Greater Than AIDS.
For help applying for coverage — either marketplace plans or Medicaid — visit Get Covered Illinois or call 866-311-1119.
