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.
Does anyone know if there are any programs or co pay assists for Ribavirin? I know there is one for Sovaldi. I have the coupon and already gave that information to the pharmacy, so assuming my insurance approves this, I don't plan on paying much for the sovaldi. However, I haven't heard about anything like this for the Riba. Anyone know about this? Gracias!

The doctors office worked all the magic to get my meds covered. It took them 24 hours or less.
So sorry for you.
My insurance pays $152.61 for 168 Riba per month, 200 mg tabs if that helps.
It is ribashere.
