New Opportunities and Challenges in Hepatitis C

Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, opens up the hepatitis C virus (HCV) briefing, which highlighted research published in The American Journal of Managed Care's special issue on HCV. He provided a brief overview of the scope of HCV infection in the US and around the world, as well as the reluctance on the part of payers to cover the expensive drugs, even though they essentially cure the disease.

Bhattacharya served as the guest editor of the special issue, gave short summaries of some of the papers that would be presented at the briefing, and introduced the speakers.
