New York State Law Goes into Effect January 1, 2014 Hepatitis C Virus Testing (Chapter 425 of the Laws of 2013) This new law requires a hepatitis C virus screening test to be offered to all patients born between 1945 and 1965 who are receiving health services as a hospital inpatient or receiving primary care services and applies to physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner. The law further requires that the health care provider refer a patient who receives a positive screening test to another provider to receive confirmatory testing and follow-up care.
