Talk to your Dr.
A couple of yrs ago when I was initially dx the doc told me that there were programs for people to get the meds for free but the labs weren't covered. This may help out a great deal. The Pegassist Charm is refering to is what my dr would have used.

Also whether your txing for 24, 48, or 72 wweeks makes all the difference as well.

Interferon & Ribavirin without any insurance can cost up to $2,000 a month thats not including any others meds you might need for the duration of treatment. When all is said and done without insurance it can cost up to $30,000 or more depending if you need rescue drugs.
Hoping you are covered for all the lab work that is necessary.
I dont have the phone numbers handy but go online to Commitment To Care, and Pegassist they might be able to help you, they do many people if you are eligible.
