About HICP
The Health Insurance Continuation Program (HICP), administered by Broward Regional Health Planning Council (BRHPC), provides assistance with eligible health insurance expenses for qualifying Broward County Ryan White Part A clients.
HICP offers two types of assistance:
- Medical and Pharmacy Cost-Sharing Assistance: Helps pay eligible copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles for covered, in-network outpatient medical services and eligible medications.
- Premium Assistance: Helps pay eligible monthly Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace health insurance premiums after applying the available Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC).
HICP is not health insurance. Eligible medical and pharmacy cost-sharing payments are issued directly to providers, while eligible Premium Assistance payments are issued directly to insurance companies. HICP does not reimburse clients.
Current HICP Eligibility and Payment Limits
Effective November 1, 2026
- Income Eligibility: Up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), subject to current Broward Ryan White Part A eligibility and applicable Insurance Support Services (ISS) authorization.
- Premium Assistance: Up to $250 per month when the full available APTC is applied and the remaining monthly premium is $250 or less.
- Combined Annual Limit:$3,000 per client per contract year for eligible cost-sharing and Premium Assistance payments combined.
- Client Acknowledgment: All clients must complete the newly approved Combined HICP Client Acknowledgment Form, which replaces the previous separate acknowledgment forms.
Assistance is subject to program eligibility, complete documentation, available funding, and applicable payment requirements.

Medical & Pharmacy Cost-Sharing — For Clients
Clients are responsible for:
• Maintaining active Broward County Part A eligibility.
• Ensuring Insurance Support Services (ISS) is active/authorized for the applicable service period.
• Keeping insurance information current with Broward County Part A eligibility staff.
• Using in-network providers whenever required by their health insurance plan.
• Confirming the service is covered by their insurance before receiving care.
• Confirming the service is allowable under HICP guidelines before receiving care.
• Submitting bills and required documentation within 60 calendar days of the date of service and within the allowable contract year.
• Understanding that HICP does not reimburse clients directly.
• Following up with providers after HICP payment is issued, because provider posting times may vary.
Medical & Pharmacy Cost-Sharing — For Providers
BRHPC administers HICP as a third-party secondary payer for eligible Broward County Part A clients. HICP may pay allowable patient responsibility amounts directly to providers or allowable payees for eligible services after the client's primary insurance has processed the claim.
Required billing documentation:
Providers or clients must submit either a CMS-1500 with Explanation of Benefits or an itemized medical billing statement. Documentation must include:
• Client's legal name and date of birth
• Date of service
• Insurance payment details
• Patient responsibility amount and type: copay, coinsurance, or deductible
• CPT/procedure code
• Diagnosis code, when required for eligibility review
• Provider billing address/payment location
Important Client Responsibility
Clients are ultimately responsible for ensuring bills/claims are submitted to HICP within required deadlines, even when a provider or third party may assist with submitting documentation.
