Hepatitis C (Hep C) is a contagious liver disease, which can lead to serious complications, including cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Chronic Hep C is a long-term and life-threatening condition.

Maimonides Hep C Program offers comprehensive screenings, treatments, and care for Hep C. Our board-certified physicians are infectious disease and HEP C experts who provide diagnostic and laboratory testing and treatment services.

Screening starts with a simple blood test

Screenings can help determine if you have the Hep C Virus (HCV). If Hep C is detected, you will see one of our board-certified Hep C experts, who will provide further diagnostic testing, counseling, and, as needed, comprehensive treatment at Maimonides.

With treatment, up to 95% of Hep C patients can be cured

• Life-threatening complications can often be prevented if the infection is detected early and you adhere to the medication regimen
• Some oral medications for Hep C provide cure rates approaching 95% after 3 months of treatment

The cost of Hep C screening and treatment may be covered by your health insurance plan. Maimonides is one of NYC’s pre-eminent healthcare providers, nationally recognized for clinical excellence across all major specialties. We are dedicated to bringing you the most advanced care available—anywhere.
