Abstract

Using national pharmacy claims data for 2014-2020, 843 329 persons were treated for hepatitis C at least once. The proportion treated increased annually among persons aged <40 years, insured by Medicaid, and treated by primary care providers. Monitoring hepatitis C treatment is essential to identify barriers to treatment access.

Keywords: HCV; IQVIA; direct-acting antivirals; hepatitis C.
