Join us in urging officials across the country to support policies that help Americans living with hepatitis C get cured.
Pennsylvania
Liver damage restrictions
Pennsylvania FFS and most MCOs do not impose liver damage restrictions. UnitedHealthcare does not make its prior authorization requirements publicly available.
Sobriety restrictions
Pennsylvania FFS and most MCOs do not impose sobriety restrictions. UnitedHealthcare does not make its prior authorization requirements publicly available.
Prescriber restrictions
Pennsylvania FFS does not impose prescriber restrictions. While six MCOs apply the same criteria as FFS, UPMC For You still requires a specialist to prescribe, and UnitedHealthcare does not make its prior authorization requirements publicly available.
Recommendations
- Ensure transparency regarding hepatitis C coverage requirements and parity across FFS and MCO programs.
- Remove prior authorization for patients who qualify for simplified treatment.
