Program description
The purpose of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part F Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) is to improve access to oral health care services for low-income people with HIV, and related education and training to dental providers serving people with HIV. Authorized under section 2692(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 300ff–111(b)), the DRP provides partial reimbursement to eligible dental schools and accredited dental hygiene programs for the unreimbursed costs of oral health care provided to patients with HIV. Eligible institutions may annually apply for reimbursement based on costs incurred in the prior year. Available funds are distributed among all eligible applicants, taking into account the number of patients with HIV served and the extent of unreimbursed care costs relative to other applicants.

💡 Tips for applicants
- Clearly document the number of HIV-positive clients you currently serve and those with unmet dental care needs, using data from your EHR or patient surveys.
- Partner with HIV care providers (Ryan White-funded agencies, infectious disease clinics) to strengthen your application and demonstrate integrated care coordination.
- Provide evidence of dental provider capacity: include staff credentials, treatment protocols, and capacity projections for expanding dental services.
- Develop a realistic budget that accounts for direct reimbursement costs, staff salaries, equipment maintenance, and dental supplies specific to treating HIV-positive patients.
- Include a sustainability plan showing how you will maintain or grow the dental program beyond the grant period, including diversified funding sources.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applications often fail because they overestimate capacity without demonstrated dental staffing or infrastructure, lack clear connections to existing HIV care networks, or fail to provide epidemiologic data showing dental disease burden in their target population. Additionally, weak budgets that don't adequately account for the cost of comprehensive dental care or fail to show realistic reimbursement structures hurt competitiveness.
