My name is Dan I'm a Viet Nam era veteran where and when I contracted the Hep C virus. My Doctor had me wait years for Sokvodi/Olysio because I suffer from depression Interferon was not an option. The VA currantly does not offer the treatment.
Can someone explain what off label is and are the insurance companies more likely to approve it.
Thanks
Dan
anyone that is on Sovaldi is lucky in my book - in the US charging $1000.00 a day and calling it a miracle drug.
Having same problem on appeal then got notice they rejected our appeal, now it goes to a personal hearing with a Court Judge to determine for the go ahead on the meds. Not really sure why they are not granting those that have been non responders to the other drugs interferon etc etc. I have to assume they will pay for another liver but will not approve the drug that cures the Hep C. Got to turn this one over to God to handle for I am powerless, and praying my wife will have the perfect hearing and get approved. Good luck on your outcome ChevyS10.
Hi ,
I hope you will explain your situation to the drug companies, they have provided assisstence to me.
Keep fighting for the Meds and you will prevail!
Have been on Olysio and Solvaldi the last 2 weeks. The only side effect has been a slight headache here and there but that's it! Now Silverscript provided me my first 30 days and I just got word from them they denied coverage. My doctors are working on appeal but can you belive it? 1/3 done and they deny it. I'm a caretaker for my wife who has had 2 strokes and interferon is not an option. Funny thing money has top priority over life.
You go, Grammy! Looking forward to hearing about your SVR.
Keep us posted on how things go.
