Help paying for treatment!

Hi everyone - I just wanted to take a moment to share some news.

After years of patiently waiting, I finally decided to treat. My #s have been good, low scores on all tests, so I took my dr's advice to wait for better treatment plans. (I'm 1a treatment naïve)

Week before last I was approved for 8 weeks of Harvoni - on the first try! I know how difficult it is for many seeking treatment, so I feel extremely blessed to have such a good insurance plan.

When the specialty pharmacy called to set up the delivery, the young lady mentioned how much my coinsurance would be. Let me just say that I am very happy I was sitting down cuz I know I'd have been passed out on the floor otherwise.

My coinsurance per month is $3,156.44!!

HOWEVER the specialty pharmacy is such a great help that they hooked me up with a "copay coupon" that Gilead offers. They did all the legwork to get the coupon for me & applied it before they even called so that I only had to pay a $5 copay!!

The card offers "up to a maximum of 25% of the catalog price of a 12 weeks regimen of Harvoni"

So if you're facing enormous bills for treatment, even with insurance, call Gilead up ASAP to get this help!

(I am not paid for this endorsement - I just want everyone to have a fair chance at beating this dragon!)
