Telehealth Hepatitis C Treatment

Lotus Addiction Recovery & Wellness Center

A Cure Is Closer Than You Think.

If you’ve been living with Hepatitis C, I want you to know something important: this virus is curable. Not managed. Not suppressed indefinitely. Cured. And getting that treatment should not require you to jump through hoops, prove your worthiness, or be at any particular point in your recovery.

My name is Shivani Pereira. I’m a Nurse Practitioner based in New Hampshire, and I provide telehealth-based Hepatitis C treatment for people who are ready to take a step toward better health, whatever that step looks like for them. Whether this is your first time seeking treatment or you’ve been through it before, I’m here to support you with honesty, respect, and no judgment.

I came to this work because I believe people deserve care that treats them as whole human beings, especially when they’re navigating something as serious as a chronic viral infection alongside the complexities of substance use or recovery.

There is no version of this treatment that requires you to be sober first, to have your life in perfect order, or to have made certain choices. The science is clear: Epclusa is safe during active use, effective even in the presence of significant liver damage, and available to you no matter how many times you’ve been through treatment before.

What I bring to every appointment is this: I will listen to you. I will be honest with you. I will not rush you or make you feel like a burden. This is your health. My job is to help you protect it.

Hep C Treatment

What Is Epclusa?

Epclusa (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir) is a once-daily oral medication and one of the most effective treatments available for Hepatitis C. It works across all major genotypes of the virus, meaning most people qualify regardless of which strain they have.

Sofosbuvir and velpatasvir are direct-acting antivirals. They work by blocking the proteins the Hepatitis C virus needs to replicate inside your body. Taken consistently for 12 weeks, Epclusa achieves a sustained virologic response in more than 95% of patients. That means the virus becomes undetectable and, in the vast majority of cases, does not return.

Epclusa is not a lifelong medication. It is a short, defined course of treatment with a clear finish line. For most people, 12 weeks is all it takes.

Is Epclusa Right For You?

Who I Work With

I work with adults across New Hampshire who have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C or who have reason to believe they may be infected. You do not need to be in recovery or sober to receive care from me.

You may be a good fit for my program if you:

Have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and want to clear the virus for good
Are in active substance use and have been told treatment isn't an option
Have liver damage and aren't sure if treatment is still possible
Have been treated before and contracted the virus again
Want discreet, private care without visiting a clinic in person
Live anywhere in New Hampshire and prefer the flexibility of telehealth

Hepatitis C is curable in 12 weeks. The only thing standing between you and that cure is one phone call.

Your Path to Clearing Hep C

Too many people are living with Hep C because the path to treatment felt out of reach. I built this program to change that

Step 1

Initial Telehealth Consultation

We begin with a private, confidential video appointment. I'll take the time to understand your history, your health, and your goals. This is a real conversation, not a screening. I want to know where you are so I can figure out the best way to help.

Step 2

Testing and Treatment Planning

We'll confirm your diagnosis and review your overall health through lab work. Based on those results and our conversation, I'll develop a treatment plan specific to you. Your situation is not identical to anyone else's, and your care shouldn't be either.

Step 3

Prescription and Treatment Start

Once we've confirmed Epclusa is the right fit, I'll send your prescription directly to your pharmacy. I'll walk you through exactly what to expect during treatment so you feel informed and prepared from day one.

Setp 4

Ongoing Support and Follow-Up

I schedule regular follow-up appointments throughout your 12 weeks to monitor how you're doing, address any side effects, and confirm the medication is working. At the end of treatment, we'll run final labs to confirm the cure. I'm also available if questions come up between visits.

Virtual Care

Why Telehealth Makes Sense for Hepatitis C Treatment

Getting Hep C treatment shouldn’t mean sitting in a waiting room where someone might recognize you. It shouldn’t mean explaining to your employer why you need the afternoon off, or figuring out how to get across the state for an appointment. Telehealth exists so none of that has to be part of your story.

From your own home, treatment is private, flexible, and completely on your terms. Same care. No audience.

Telehealth Hepatitis C treatment is legal, effective, and available to you anywhere in New Hampshire.

Hepatitis C Treatment FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Epclusa right for me?

Honestly, most people with Hepatitis C are good candidates. Epclusa works across all major genotypes, and unlike older treatments, it doesn’t require you to be in perfect health or free from substance use. We’ll go through your history together at your first appointment and I’ll give you a straight answer. If something else makes more sense for you, I’ll tell you that too.

Is treatment covered by insurance?

It often is, including through Medicaid. I won’t pretend the insurance process is always smooth, but we’ll figure it out together. If you’re uninsured or your plan doesn’t cover it, there are patient assistance programs that can help. Cost shouldn’t be the reason this doesn’t happen for you.

What if I've already been treated and got re-infected?

Then I’ll treat you again. Full stop. Re-infection is a medical reality for a lot of people, especially those still in active use. It is not a character flaw and it is not a reason to give up on treatment. There is no limit to how many times I will help you clear this virus.

Is this confidential?

Yes, completely. What you tell me stays with me. That includes your substance use, your history, anything. You don’t have to edit yourself or worry about what I’ll think. That’s not how I work.
