Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Next option is quickly find a doctor that accepts your insurance ans will pick you up mid treatment.
You may also contact the drug companies for assistance
I like clay's suggestion, get co pay assist
feeling a lil down everything is going haywire my hubby doesn't understand what I'm going thru never has I guess...Stress.. and more stress I don't need it Not Now...
So even if my doctor no longer accepts my insurance I will still get my meds.
Call his nurse, she will convey the importance of this.
Kind of a poor example but like pain management...
Once it is known fact that you are prescribed these meds, NO doctor wants the liability of "cutting you loose" and will prescribe at least enough to get you to your next doctor visit.
I have hope for your situation. Hang in there, your doctor has the resources to get you more meds, especially if he is attached to a hospital or belongs to an association. Most are.
One more thing, pharmacies love the profits from sovaldi. Call your pharmacy tomorrow and get them involved. HA! They will damn sure find you assistance like P.A.N. If they dont know what they are doing call BioPlus specialty pharmacy out of FL. They are hot to get paid and know how to get you your meds.
You are right. You dont need this right now. Good luck clovers.
Patient Access Network Foundation paid for this with 3 grants.
I think because my doctor did the initial calling, approval and fedex shipment verification happened in 7 days! I thought they were joking.
It will happen. hang in there,
will fill the scripts.
In meantime you should find a doc for labs, etc. First contact doc you had appt with to see what they are doing with patients like you.
This happened to me before with a different problem, and they made
sure I had enough meds to make it to a different doc, and then even
called in more when it took longer for me to get into a new doc.
Those nurse assist phone numbers they give from insurance companies do help you a lot too!!
You need help and another person like a nurse handling this for you!! The stress you do NOT need.
Sorry you have to go thru this.....
THey get mad at the ins company and the patients suffer.
It is the contracts they can't agree on and then the doc won't sign,, and patientsare in the wind
Meds should be ok...but check into it!!
GOd Bless
