To estimate the economic impact of providing universal hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing in commercially insured middle aged persons who inject drugs (PWIDs) in the United States. This study developed a dynamic ten-year economic model to project the clinical and economic outcomes associated with HCV testing among middle aged adult PWIDs, from a payer’s perspective. Costs related to HCV testing, direct-acting antiviral (DAA), and liver-related outcomes between the (1) current HCV testing rate (i.e., 8%) and (2) universal HCV testing rate (i.e., 100%) were compared. Among patients testing positive, 21% of those without cirrhosis and 48% with cirrhosis were assumed to initiate DAAs. Sensitivity analyses were performed to identify variables (e.g.: DAA drugs costs, HCV testing costs, DAA treatment rate) influencing this study’s conclusion. The model predicts that during the 10-year period, universal HCV testing will cost an additional $242 per PWID to the payers’ health care budgets compared to the current scenario. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated values ranging from $1,656 additional costs to $1,085 cost savings across all varied parameters and scenarios. 80% of the current DAA costs indicated that cost savings will be $383 per PWID. Universal HCV testing among PWIDs would not achieve cost savings within 10 years, with the cost of DAAs contributing the most to the spending. To promote the universal HCV testing among PWIDs, decreasing DAA costs and sustainable funding streams for HCV testing should be considered.
