Preventing Liver Cancer by Increasing Hep B Treatment @ 9AM HST

Please join the Hepatitis B Foundation and Hep B United on Tuesday, October 12th, 2021 from 3PM-4PM ET for a webinar to discuss hepatitis B treatment access

Webinar Overview:

October is Liver Cancer Awareness Month. Left untreated, nearly 1 in 4 people living with chronic hepatitis B develop serious liver problems or liver cancer. Hepatitis B treatments are highly effective in preventing liver damage and liver cancer, but several barriers prevent equitable access to these life-saving medications.

Panelists will discuss discriminatory methods utilized by insurance companies that may discourage people living with hepatitis B from choosing an insurance plan, the role of copay accumulators in treatment access, tools and resources to access affordable hepatitis B treatment, and actions that patients can take to decrease the burden of adverse drug tiering.
