The capacity of each jurisdiction for notifying CDC of acute hepatitis C cases varies considerably on the basis of laws, resources, and infrastructure for conducting viral hepatitis surveillance. During 2020, acute hepatitis C was not a reportable condition in one state (Alaska), cases were unavailable from three states or jurisdictions (Arizona, District of Columbia, and Rhode Island), and no cases were reported by three states (Hawaii, North Dakota, and Wyoming).

The national rate of reported acute hepatitis C was 1.5 cases per 100,000 population during 2020, a 50% increase from the rate reported during 2016. During 2020, Maine had the highest rate of reported cases of acute hepatitis C (11.9 cases per 100,000 population), whereas Florida reported the largest number of cases. Five states with the highest number of reported acute cases (Florida, New York, Louisiana, Indiana, and Illinois) accounted for 50% of the national burden of acute hepatitis C cases reported during 2020.
