DETAILS
Vermont Public Radio reports (http://bit.ly/2gVXA63) the legal aid group has taken up the case of a Vermont woman who was denied Hepatitis C treatment under the program because her liver isn’t yet damaged enough. VPR did not use the woman’s name. Vermont Legal Aid is helping the woman appeal her coverage denial.
Vermont’s Medicaid program requires people to be in the late stages of liver damage before they qualify for treatment.
