I WENT TO TULANE HOSPITAL IN NEW ORLEANS, TURNED DOWN BY MEDICAIDE, TLC PHARM. IN HARVEY, LA. WAS CONTACTED BY TULANE, GOT MY TAX RECORDS, THEN DID ALL PAPERWORK FOR ME. I ONLY HAD TO SIGN ONCE I WAS APPROVED. TWO WEEKS LATER GILEAD IS NOW PAYING FOR ALL TREATMENT, THANKS GILEAD, WENT IN 4 WEEKS AFTER STARTING,HARVONI, WENT FROM 1.8 MILLION DOWN TO 20,, 2 WEEKS LATER I FEEL LIKE ITS COMPLETELY GONE, BRAIN FOG IS CLEARING, ARTHRITIS IS LEAVING MY BODY, WOW, I FEEL HUMAN AGAIN AFTER 32 YEARS WITH IT. MAYBE YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT THROUGH GILEAD, NOT SURE, IF YOU DONT HAVE INSURANCE AND MAKE GOOD MONEY, I DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE, IF YOU QUALIFY FOR FREE CARE IN A PUBLIC HOSPITAL THEY MAY HELP YOU ALSO, GOOD LUCK, IT WORKS, ITS MUCH CHEAPER IN SOME COUNTRIES, OUT OF POCKET IS ALMOST 90Gs.

If you don't have one already you will need to get a Dr to sign off on this.  They will want your viral load #'s, genotype, liver panels, CBC, and drug/alcohol testing.  Once your Dr runs those tests and prescribes you the Harvoni they will want a copy of your tax returns for last year.  If you made less than $100,000.00 they will supply it free for you.  This is the process I had to go through.

Wishing you the best

I had two friends call the number I posted. Because of their income (or lack of it), they are now both on Harvoni...

You could wait until December and then buy it from India for $1000 per bottle.

You could probably get the meds for free through gilead support path but you will still have to find a doctor that will treat you.
