I was wondering given the following conditions - 1) HBV is UND (<357/IU) 2) On Epivir for the last several years because after some surgery the doctors thought it was possible I had been exposed to HBV or got some tainted blood 3) previously had the HBV vaccine 15 years ago. 4) No signs of HBV.
s website as well and also, baraclude just started a new copay assistance program that will help you out. finally, your doctor can send a letter to your insurance company asking for a prior authorization to put you on baraclude. your liver and life is not worth the risk of being on a cheap ineffective drug....
This is my understanding of the patient assistance programs for Incivek. The list price, which no patient will have to end up paying, is $49,200 for 12 weeks. HOWEVER, the patient assistance programs, are more than generous. Typical Co-pay for the three prescriptions that will be needed will be between $50 and $250 each.
For the USA, even the wholesale price (pharmacy has to make money and charges more) of the antivirals are very expensive.
30 pills runs for:
LAM ~$200
ADV ~$540
ETV ~$710 (for the 0.5mg)
TDF ~$470
As I said, it depends on your insurance and / or what you could afford. If you have a doctors prescription but have no way to pay for it, try call the drug maker's customer service number to inquire if they have an assistance program. Or as a last resort...google...
If in need, call the Schering-Plough Patient Assistance Program at 1-800-521-7157 and/or the Roche Patient Assistance Program at 1-877-757-6243.

could anyone give me ideas as to where or who i would contact to get some patient assistance for acute hep c treatment? I am not working, cannot wait on s.s. disability. I try to do some construction work when available, but it is really rough.
Without the patient assistance program I probably wouldn't be SVR - when my insurance refused to let me extend, they coudln't have made it easier and didn't even make me feel bad about needing them to help.
Most every pharmaceutical company in America offers a Patient Assistance Program. Roche Pharmaceuticals Patient Assistance Program information can be found at:

You could ask your doctor if you could qualify for the Patient Assistance Program. This is where certain pharmaceutical companies can for a specified time frame provide specific medications without charge for a person without health insurance. Find the website for the names of the medications you are taking. Then you can see if the companies who make them participate in this program.
So it's now July 2015 and I havnt been on here in a long time.I have a GI doctor in Monterey and have been waiting for the approval of a patient assistance program but because of me "Not having enough damage in my liver they won't approve me.So I'm not sure as to what to do now.Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get approved or as to what step to take now?
866-363-6379 - The manufacturer of the recently approved Hepatitis C drug boceprevir (Victrelis) also has a Patient Assistance Program.
"The Lyme Test Access Program (Lyme-TAP) is a nationwide patient assistance program to provide assistance for initial Lyme-related lab tests to patients who demonstrate true financial need."
