Eligibility criteria
Patients eligible for this trial will include those who meet criteria for inclusion in the DETECT Hep C Screening Trial and who test positive for HCV antibodies and those seen in the ED with previously diagnosed untreated active HCV confirmed in the electronic health record (EHR). Exclusions will include the following: prisoners and individuals who live outside of Colorado (given follow-up constraints), patients who speak a language other than English or Spanish (as the interview for participants will only be available in English and Spanish), and those who are pregnant (because HCV treatment is not currently approved for pregnancy). Those who are randomized with positive HCV antibody tests but have subsequent undetected HCV RNA results will be excluded from the study.
