Gilead has a patient assistance program for those whose family income is below $100,000. I believe that the co-pay is $5 per pill.
Why am I being denied treatment? I've had type 1a for approx 40 yrs. I don't drink have cirrosis? Denial letter says its experimental! What is REALLY happening? This IS murderous behavior! Shouldn't happen in U.S.A.
I understand that Gilead has a new treatment not yet on the market Hep C with genotype B1. I would appreciate any and all information in regard to it. Thank You very much, Heather
Amazing Day. Just received a call from an out of state compounding pharmacy. Our insurance company has approved coverage for my treatment with this regime. My Co-Pay will be less than a CBC Blood test! Hurray for Gilead, my Doctor, his amazing staff and our insurance company. I will try to comment after the treatment with results. Everyone should partner with their GI doctor and push for cooperation like we received....TODAY
My GI Doc has submitted a prescription for this treatment to my insurance provider. Since the cost is over $80,000.00, having insurance coverage is imperative to receive this treatment for a majority of us with GType 1 who have not been cured with the Interferon based treatment regime. Ask your Doc to try the same. Evidently pressure from physicians could speed up the process of receiving coverage of part of the cost for the new treatment from Gilead.
That is fantastic news! Hope the price per pill can come down just as "fastastically".

I'm currently participating in the NIAID Synergy Group F Study havubg been treated with a 6 week course of Harvoni (NS5A/NS5B) and GS-9451, an NS3/4A protease inhibitor. So far I am SVR at 8 weeks after completing tx. 4 more weeks to go then it's considered a cure. My viral load was 2 million copies per iu, with a metavir score of F4/A3 indicating cirrhosis and severe activity.
