LANSING–The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) recently launched the We Treat Hep C Initiative to eliminate hepatitis C and improve access to hepatitis C treatment among Michigan Medicaid and Healthy Michigan Plan beneficiaries. As part of the We Treat Hep C Initiative, Michigan Medicaid removed the prescriber requirement. As a result, all providers with prescriptive authority are now able to prescribe hepatitis C treatment.
To support Michigan’s efforts to eliminate hepatitis C, AbbVie is hosting two webinars: one will explore hepatitis C treatment in the rapidly changing Medicaid landscape, and the second will feature discussions on caring for women with hepatitis C. Presentations and discussions will be led by Elaine Engelsman, DNP, FNP-BC. The dates, times and registration links are listed below:
Wednesday, June 30–Exploring HCV Treatment in the Rapidly Changing Medicaid Landscape (12:15 p.m.) Flyer Info I Register
Thursday, July 22–Caring for Women with HCV (12:15 p.m.) Flyer Info I Register
