I am sick of monkeying around with these appts they are drag gin this on forever. I got a co pay card from Gilead and they said I could bypass insurance just need a script from a Doctor. Anyone knows how that works. I have heard you have to be denied by insurance first,will Doctors actually do this,just write you a script?

It all depends on your doctor. Did Gilead give you the card based on very low income and no insurance? It's my understanding that NM is one of the states where it is more difficult to obtain treatment if you have Medicaid.

When I spoke with Support Path a few months back they told me to get the script and run it through insurance and if it was denied twice they would give me the Sovaldi. They may have exceptions for some areas based on need. That's just a guess on my part though. As previously said, it also may be that they have merely agree to pay just your co-pay. Regardless, the first step is the doctor. It may be that you're have to go to Albuquerque for a good doctor. I used to have to drive three hours to OKC for a doctor so I know it is very difficult. Good luck to you. Take care.

These are very expense drugs your getting.  They want to make sure YOU
are treating your hepatitis C.  The process takes more time than a simple prescription because there is blood tests that are required have among other documentation.  You can get this done rather quickly.... but you can't treat your hepatitis C without seeing a doctor to get the plan.

Best to you

Do you have insurance or coverage of some kind now?  Because a co-pay card is just for co-pay.   The part your responsible for with your prescription drug coverage.  If you see a doctor .....they are involved in you getting the prescription.  It comes from a specialiy pharmacy.   It's delivered to your house by UPS/FED etc.   You can't just get it at the corner pharmacy.  

What thier saying is you need to get to a doctor and get the program rolling.
