How to Find a Doctor Who Can Prescribe Mavyret Near You [2026 Guide]

Mavyret (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) can only be obtained with a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. While getting diagnosed with hepatitis C can feel overwhelming, the good news is that Mavyret can be prescribed by a wider range of providers than you might expect. Here's how to find the right doctor or provider in 2026.

Who Can Prescribe Mavyret?

Mavyret is not a controlled substance and does not require any special DEA waiver or certification to prescribe. Any licensed prescriber with a valid DEA registration can prescribe it, provided they have access to the required laboratory testing and are prepared to manage the prior authorization process. That said, certain specialists have the most experience with hepatitis C treatment:

Hepatologists (liver specialists): The most specialized option; these providers treat hepatitis C every day and have deep familiarity with treatment guidelines, PA processes, and specialty pharmacy relationships

Gastroenterologists: Very familiar with HCV treatment; often the most accessible specialist for Mavyret prescribing

Infectious disease (ID) specialists: Routinely prescribe Mavyret, especially for patients with HIV/HCV co-infection

Primary care physicians (PCPs): Increasingly comfortable prescribing Mavyret, especially in areas with limited specialist access. Ask if your PCP manages HCV treatment.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs): Many NPs and PAs specializing in GI, hepatology, or ID prescribe Mavyret in states that allow independent practice

How to Find a Hepatitis C Specialist Near You

Ask your primary care doctor for a referral. Even if your PCP doesn't prescribe Mavyret directly, they can refer you to a gastroenterologist or hepatologist in your insurance network.

Search your insurance plan's provider directory. Look for "gastroenterologist," "hepatologist," or "infectious disease" in your network. Filter for providers who treat liver disease or viral hepatitis.

Use Healthgrades or Zocdoc. Search for "hepatitis C treatment" or "liver disease" specialists in your zip code. Many providers indicate their HCV experience in their profiles.

Contact your local health department or federally qualified health center (FQHC). FQHCs often have HCV treatment programs and can prescribe Mavyret, usually at low or no cost for uninsured patients.

Can I Get a Mavyret Prescription Through Telehealth?

Yes. Telehealth has significantly expanded access to hepatitis C treatment since 2020. Several telehealth platforms specialize in HCV and can manage your entire Mavyret treatment course virtually, as long as you can get labs drawn at a local facility. Look for:

Telehealth platforms specializing in liver or infectious disease (e.g., Hep Free NYC, Dr. Francis telehealth programs in your state)

General telehealth providers (Teladoc, MDLive) may be able to treat uncomplicated HCV cases

Some harm reduction organizations and syringe service programs offer telehealth-linked HCV treatment

For telehealth prescribing to work, the provider must be licensed in your state and able to review your lab results. Most telehealth HCV programs handle the prior authorization and specialty pharmacy routing as part of their service.

What to Bring to Your First Appointment

To streamline the prescribing process, bring (or ensure your provider orders) the following:

HCV antibody test result (confirms exposure)

HCV RNA viral load (confirms active infection)

HCV genotype test result (determines treatment regimen)

Hepatitis B surface antigen and core antibody tests (required before starting Mavyret)

Liver function tests and CBC
