   Original Medicare does not cover routine Hepatitis C screening, but it can cover screening if approved by Medicare due to signs or symptoms of Hepatitis C being present. In that case, the screening becomes diagnostic and can be covered by Medicare guidelines. 
   
   Under Medicare Advantage PPO plans, routine Hepatitis C screening IS covered.
