Help with Hep C medicines

[Dawnsnpc]

My father has had Hep C for 9 years now. He recently lost his job and has no insurance therefor he hasnt been able 2 get his medications. is there any help for people that cant afford the medicine?

Oh, sure; no problem :o). They are very helpful and professional, in my opinion. He might be asked for last years federal 1040 form for income verification; they are income, rather than asset based so it doesn’t matter if he owns a home (or ten homes, for that matter). Good luck to you both—

Thank you so much! It is so hard to be in a different state ans still try to help him. You have no idea how thankful I am for these numbers. God bless you.

The manufacturers of HCV meds provide patient assistance for folks like your father. Have him call whichever number is applicable to his situation in the morning, and they will try to help. I used them for two years; they provided meds free of all cost to me:


Pegassist (Roche Pegasys system): 1-877-734-2797

Commitment to Care (Schering- Plough PEG-Intron system): 1-800-521-7157
