The MDHHS We Treat Hep C Initiative
Studies estimate that over 69,000 Michiganders are currently living with hepatitis C and that almost half of this population is unaware of their infection. Hepatitis C can be cured in only eight to 12 weeks with safe, effective, oral medications.
Through the We Treat Hep C Initiative, hepatitis C treatment medication MAVYRET® no longer requires prior authorization and hepatitis C treatment with MAVYRET® is available to all Medicaid ($1 copay) and Healthy Michigan Plan (no copay) beneficiaries at little to no cost. Other direct-acting antiviral medications ($3 copay) require prior authorization and are approved when MAVYRET® is not clinically appropriate.
