SpecialistsMAT now offering treatment for Hepatitis C


SpecialistsMAT is pleased to announce its association with Hepatitis C Treatment Centers (HCTC) of Louisville, KY. 


How serious is Hepatitis C? If left untreated, Hepatitis C will likely be fatal within 20 years. If left untreated, the average person will infect up to 20 other persons in their lifetime. 


Hepatitis C Treatment Centers (HCTC) is under the direction of Dr. Bennet Cecil, and it is the number one provider of Hepatitis C treatment services in the country. Patients with Hepatitis C can elect to receive state of the art treatment, and it is all accomplished from the offices of SpecialistsMAT. 


That is right! When you come for your appointments to meet with your Suboxone providers, a second appointment will be made that same day with a member of Dr. Cecil’s team via telemedicine. A case manager from SpecialistsMAT will be assigned to your case and will walk you through the process step by step. In most cases, the treatments last 2-3 months. The medications are well tolerated, and there is a 98% cure rate.


What is required of you, the patient? In most cases, your appointments will be at the same time you see your Suboxone providers. You may have to go to the local lab to give 4 blood samples over 3 months. You will need to check in several times a month with your case manager who will serve as your liaison with HCTC’s team. Your medication will be available for you on site at SpecialistsMAT. Understanding the requirements of our program is very important as the medications used to combat Hepatitis C are very expensive and insurance companies only give a specific time window for your treatment to be completed.    


So do this for yourself and do it for the ones you love!
