Commercial ins HCV Prevalence less than the rest

The prevalence of HCV is higher in prison populations, Medicaid rolls, Vietnam era veterans, etc. It has to be less somewhere. It is less in commercial (non-governmental) patients. Milliman in the study above estimated a prevalence rate for commercial patients of 0.0047.

25,000,000
*0.0047
117,500 HCV in the exclusive formulary, then you must factor for GT1
