has been estimated as 13.8 times greater than in the general U.S. population. Louisiana estimates that nearly 40,000 people in the state’s Medicaid population and in the state’s incarcerated population are infected with HCV, with less than 3% receiving treatment. The current study uses a retrospective analysis of Louisiana’s Medicaid claims data to determine the extent to which incarceration influences rates of HCV testing, diagnosis and treatment. This presentation will also provide an overview of Louisiana’s Pre-Release Medicaid Enrollment Program and Louisiana’s proposed subscription model for the payment of HCV drugs. Objectives: Participants will be able to identify how health care claims data can be used to measure care utilization; recognize how Medicaid-provided health care services and health care services provided during incarceration fall into one continuum of care; and compare Louisiana’s study design and outcomes to participant’s own state Medicaid and DOC populations.
