Many have trouble getting approved first off appeal to your insurance I believe 3 appeals are needed. Then there is a process to have a patient care advocate to look at your case I don't know much about that as I was able to get meds on my first appeal because I have cirrhosis. I believe there is something called the Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation they may be able to help you obtain treatment

Best of luck

I really don't know what is going still no Havoni . I am Native American I got insurance because the tribal clinic does not have the funds . Now the Dr nurse submitted to the tribe RX . So now if I get it I will have out of pocket cost ( that is why I got insurance ) an she is saying it will take 3 more weeks :( I lost it these last few days . I am about ready to give up

All the best champ ,
Harvoni is amazing .
I failed your triple therapy , telaprevir , interferon and ribavirin .
I have cirrhosis but was still cured with harvoni in 12 weeks not 24
as I was in a trial . I was cured earlier in the year and I still really think about every day how lucky I and all of us  to live in this time .
Good Luck and take care .

Mine came pretty quickly, in a week or so, but there was a snag because the cost was above a certain amount, and a form needed to be sent by the doctors office to the insurance and then back to the pharmacy authorizing the amount. So keep tabs on the progress, it turned out the form was sitting in someone's inbox. Good luck, congratulations on getting treatment!

Hepcat is right, it does come pretty quickly, with Thanksgiving it might take a little longer but usually within a week.
Congratulations for getting the meds.  I know people who are struggling to get it
Take Care

They come pretty quickly. Usually within a week, but this is a short holiday week so may be a little slower.... Comes UPS or Fedex... Good luck.
Lots of water helps and is necessary to quell odd headache in the beginning
