Avatar m tn hello again, thanks to all the people that responded. was wondering about the cost of meds. interferon and ribavirin, im checking with my ins. to see what they will cover. i may have misspoke about this thing on hepititusccure.net i dont think it is herbal? it deals with fatty liver tissue. but its only 50 bucks to read about it so i dont really have anything to lose. going back to doc in 3 mo. not sure why till i decide on tx. if tx takes care of virus, do people go back to normal lifestyle?
Avatar m tn What is the current cost of Telaprevir, Ribavirin, and Interferon ? I'm wondering what the total cost would be, as well as each drug. I will be starting treatment in about 6 weeks, or less, hopefully.
1722607 tn?1335747858 I contacted my insurance company today to ask about the price of the meds for triple treatment. A 3 month supply of interferon, ribavirin, & Victrelis would cost $180.00 (so about $60 a month) I thought it was going to be a lot higher. But I forgot to ask about "rescue drugs". Not sure how that works and how much that would be. Any one have an idea?
Avatar f tn My prescription co-pays were a total of $70 a month for Incivek, Interferon, and Ribavirin. When I was on only Interferon and Ribavirin, my co-pays were $25 a month. However, I have good drug coverage and insurance companies and prescription drug coverage plans can vary considerable in coverage and in cost. As the others mentioned, Both Incivek and Pegasys have financial assistance programs.
Avatar f tn That is only the cost of the Incivek - you still need to add in the cost of interferon and ribavirin and any additional rescue drugs you might need. I figure my regular treatment cost over $200,000 in total. Thank God for insurance.
Avatar f tn t know what the new meds will cost yet. Any and all information is appreciated! (I have never treated before, geno 1a, stage 2.5 fibrosis). Also, as a side question, any information on getting treatment in Canada would be helpful. My husband has dual citizenship and I'm wondering if that might be an option for me. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Do you know any tx for anemia caused by ribavirin other than 1) procrit or 2) greatly reducing ribavirin intake for patients on telaprevir, with pegasys, and ribavirin that will increase hemoglobin levels?
Avatar n tn m not real sure on this but the cost is around $2200.00 a month which includes 4 injections and ribavirin. If you have drug coverage the cost is usually covered depending on deductible and co-pay. If no drug coverage, both companies offer patient assistance programs if the individual qualifies.
Avatar f tn I just got $500.00 to help me with my copays for pegasys & ribavirin from the HealthWell foundation.Contact them or the Genentech Access Solutions.I've only got 2 1/2 months left.
1112960 tn?1258585751 Hi Linda, It will depend on your individual policy. The combined cost for meds (interferon/ribavirin) will probably be around USD$ 2500/month to the insurance company; this will vary again depending on their contract purchases. Some plans cover this under an Rx plan, and charge $20.00 -50.00/month. Others charge copays up to 33% for specialty injectables; in this case, you’re copay could be $825.00/month.
683231 tn?1467323017 As my husband went through 24 weeks of sovaldi/ribavirin at a cost of $168,000 just for the Sovaldi, to ultimately relapse, I am fearful that the excessive cost of these new treatments will result in decisions being made that approval be limited to those with the best chance for a successful outcome (I.e. those without advanced cirrhosis). Hopefully that won't happen but I think that is a legitimate concern. These costs are insane!
Avatar f tn Per month cost no, over all cost about the same, inc is only taken for 12 wks so per month cost is higher than vic
Avatar n tn I have no health insurance and no income to provide for treatment with Interferon and ribavirin. Is there any way to support me?
