Support Path™ assists eligible hepatitis C patients in the United States who do not have insurance, are underinsured or who otherwise need financial assistance to gain coverage for or access to Sovaldi® (sofosbuvir). The program consists of an integrated offering of support services for patients and providers, among them:
Access to dedicated case managers to help patients and their providers with insurance-related needs.
We were at our local Childrens hospital last night to have a very large one drained. She was on Zyvox during Thanksgiving and we were free of abscesses for 3 weeks. That is the longest she has gone without having one. We have seen an Infectious Disease doctor that doesn't offer us much hope in getting these to go away.
The injectible MS meds, as well as the new oral meds, are very, very expensive, but most do have good financial assistance, if you qualify (and each pharma company has different rules for assistance).
So, there's lots of homework to do.
Good luck. Ask if you have more questions.
Tell them what happened, what your Notidication letter said, AND that you are still on tx (maybe start with that), and ask what you need to do to get approved for their assistance. If you meet their income requirements and furnish the info they want, you should be able to get the meds free, or with at least no more than a $30 co-pay. Also, panfoundation.org is available to help supplement what isn't covered.

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.
his symptoms returned immediately when the antibiotics were finished. This resulted in 2 debridement surgeries where all the hardware was removed. He was on 6 weeks of IV Vanco and Rifampin which seem to end the infection. 6 weeks ago the went back in to redo the spinal fusion as his scoliosis was still severe and he had become very kyphotic well into his lumbar spine.
Also corticosteroids and topical immunosuppressants can be used but they are available under prescription. Also retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. In case the symptoms persist then please consult a urologist/dermatologist for evaluation and antimicrobials and steroids prescription.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
s and one surgery for a port ( my veins were shot) as well as a round of Zyvox pills ($82.00 a pill or $1600.00), I still tested positive. As luck and God would have it, I had been taking amoxicillian before all this happened so I thought "why not finish it, nothing else has worked". I knew when I took the amox, I had started to feel better. I talked my local PA into putting me on 8 weeks of it and low and behold, I have tested negative 2x.
As reported in the September 26, 2006 electronic edition of Gut, researchers conducted a study to determine the rate of hepatitis C treatment prescription and predictors of treatment in a large cohort of U.S. veterans. They used the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Patient Care Database to identify all HCV-infected persons receiving care between 1999 and 2003.

I picked up VRE while in the hospital which was treated with 14 days of IV Zyvox. The VRE came back, in my urine, and I was hospitalized again last week and put back on Zyvox (oral this time). I am also on IV clindamycin and azithromycin, and a long list of other medications. While in the hospital they did daily blood work, of course, and my results have gotten progressively worse. They told me to follow up with my pcp, but my pcp is pretty much useless.
There simply are too many people with MS in need.Most MS assistance is preapproved, not after the fact. Even the drug company assistance works that way. If you have all ready filled a prescription they will not reimburse you.

The MSSA give assistance for MRIs and cooling vests.
t in yet, but your local health department has prescription assistance programs that can get your meds free from the companies. Ours at the Health Dept is called the REACH PROGRAM.
We also have a company here called GRADD- Green River Area District Development . The only difference in the 2 is that the Health Dept you have to see their doctor and at GRADD you can see any doctor. Both can get MOST Drugs not all. Both are income based.
If you can’t afford the prescription drugs you need, you may be eligible for assistance programs offered by drugmakers, nonprofit groups, or state governments.
Here's how they work.
Patient Assistance Programs Run by Drug Companies
To get the process started, you need to mail an application to the drug company along with information about your financial situation. You can usually download an application from the company’s web site.
Type "Prescription Assistance Hepatitis B" in web search. You will see that there is all kinds for financial assistance offered. Start applying. You don't
need to go to Canada. In fact, you most likely can get this expense covered
almost in full if you really can't afford it. There are so many programs to help
people treat Hepatitis.
Ask your doctor if there is the potential of them adjusting one of the medications to compensate for the other if this is necessary and if this can be done. Also look into means of assistance for prescription coverage. There is the Patient Assistance Program where the pharmaceutical company that produces the medication can provide free coverage if a person falls between the gaps in insurance coverage and meets certain eligibility criteria. See if your medications can be covered in that way.
I was working with Shared Solutions and their medication assistance only to be told that I was inelidgeable for the assistance. When I asked the med assistance company why there only response was "your information was input into the computer and the computer generated the response that you do not meet the elidgeability requirements. So, my insurance won't cover the Copaxone and the medication assistance program doesn't feel that I deserve their assistance... what next?!
