Hep C
So Many Reasons to Get Cured
Today’s Hep C treatments have cure rates of 95% or higher, without the harsh side effects of previous medicines.
Even people who couldn’t cure their Hep C with previous medicines may have success with today’s treatments.
Hep C treatments work in different ways and are not all the same. Your healthcare professional will determine which treatment is right for you.
Cure means the Hep C virus is not detected in the blood when measured 3 months after treatment is completed.

You can also use this tool to find a healthcare professional near you:
Understand Treatment Options
Your healthcare professional may run additional tests to learn more about your Hep C and how it’s affecting your liver.
After you discuss the different treatment options, you and your healthcare professional will choose the right treatment for you.
Find Out What Kind of Coverage You Have
Think you can’t afford to get treated? Hep C treatments are covered by most private health insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare plans.
Your healthcare professional will work with your insurance company to identify your coverage and possible financial support options.
If you don’t have insurance, there are also resources available to help. Call 1-844-9-HEPCHOPE (1-844-943-7246) to discuss what resources might be available to you or any questions you may have about treatment costs.
Begin Treatment
Once you start treatment, the medication will most likely be filled through a specialty pharmacy. They typically send medications directly to you or your healthcare professional instead of a local pharmacy.
During the course of treatment, your healthcare professional may check in with you to ensure that treatment is working as it should.
Get Your Results
Three months after treatment is completed, your healthcare professional will run a blood test to ensure your Hep C has been cured.

Hep C treatments can be prescribed by many different healthcare professionals, including gastroenterologists, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, and addiction medicine specialists.
