pegasys assistance

I came from Afghanistan .I want to buy pegasys because it wouldnt found in my country, How can I get pegasys ???

If you need assistance with the cost of drugs, you can contact their patient assistance program at: Pegassist (Roche Pegasys system): 1-877-734-2797 Let us know how things go— Bill

Are there assistance programs out there to assist with cost of Neupogen if my Dx prescribes. I am on a basic health program and co-pay 50% for all meds.

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.

Here is more info about cost of meds.

Fourth, I think it is unrealistic to think a person, any person, could cover all of these treatment costs without insurance, without medication cost assistance, and without assistance to pay for labs and tests and doctor visits. Therefore, she needs to check to see what assistance she would qualify for. Another option would be, as Bill mentioned, to look into getting her into a trial. I believe in trials most costs are covered (because she would be in a trial).

Pegassist (Roche Pegasys system): 1-877-734-2797 Commitment to Care (Schering- Plough PEG-Intron system): 1-800-521-7157 The assistance is income rather than asset based; give them a call and see if they can provide help. They will probably want copies of last year’s IRS 1040 forms, along with verification of copay.

I am using Pegasys 180mug q/wk as an off label use to treat Polycythemia Vera and it works well.I will have to take this med the rest of my life. I am aware of the short term side effects, but what about long term side effects? What can I expect years from now?

Does anybody have the SOC assistance numbers too? Sorry to be a pain I deleted them out of my contacts a long long time ago and with the search thing not working it would take me forever to dig them up and I'm at work.

I was wondering if anyone new a place that will help or pay for the pegasys treatments? I have insurance and they pay for the ribivirn but not the injections of course because its the most expensive...So just wondering if anyone has any ideas or anyone that would help....

I have applied for assistance but have yet to be approved. Any suggestions? I do not qualify for Medicaid. Is there some where that I can contact and get assistance without having to wait months for approval. Please help!

This is a site that has some questions that you answer and then you can get list of programs that you qualify for based on the information you entered. I was on Pegasys and Co-Pegasys.i recieved assistance through Roche, they covered the entire cost of the meds. There is help you might get NO's BUT DO NOT STOP CALLING you can hopefully find some assistance.

Is it true that the Pegintron assistance program allows a higher income limit, but will they cover Pegasys or are both drugs the same What kind of significant fatigue did you experience and how did you do on your first few weeks? Could you describe your fatigue and when did it start in what week?

you can call the manufacturers of the HCV drugs to see if you’ll qualify for patient assistance; they often provide the drugs free of charge for those that are uninsured. However, they don’t cover doctor’s care, labs, procedure costs, etc.

My monthly co-pay was $45 for Incivek, $5 for Ribavirin, and $20 for Pegasys. I could probably have asked the drug companies for assistance and I probably would have received it, but I did not know much at that time and my treating team was no help. When I was first calling my ins. co. about coverage, I got about 10 different answers and none of them were the same, LOL.

My insurance pays a big deal, buy it is still costing me $200 a month for this at walgreens, I cannot afford this through the whole cycle of ribavirin and pegasys. Is there any way to get around this cost?

My first pegasys and ribaviron was ordered through a local pharmacy at $606 copay for the pegasys and $50 for the ribaviron. I looked on the blue cross blue shield web site and found I could have them sent to me through their preferred pharmacy for a $69 copay for pegasys and no copay for ribaviron. Hope my experience saves you a lot of money!! There's a number to call to get the fax number to give your doctor to send in the prescriptions. Welcome and good luck!

Sounds like the way my treatment started. Five months of arguments, anxiety, and a bunch of unnecessary stress. The antibiotics can't be tx for the HepC. Do you have something else going on? For instance, I had swelling and fever in my leg, for which they gave me antibiotics, but also at that time the HepC was found. Roche was bought by Genentech. This number is still valid. 1-866-247-5084. Call during reg. business hours. There is a menu system.

Does anyone know of any programs that offer assistance with the coverage gap (donut hole) for people on Medicare? I have been preapproved for Pegasys and Ribavirin but my Medicare Prescription Drug Plan through United Health Care has a $4,550.00 coverage gap and then 5% of the total drug cost approx $9200.00 a year. The plan starts anew Jan 1st of each year so I’m looking at a copayment in the excess of $18,400.00.

I called the hotline on the pegasys web page and they were very helpful. They gave me a reference # and said to have my doc call them and use that # and they would fax the paper work right away. I was only on the phone with them maybe 15 min.
