Hep c

[Cookie_tucker]

I was diagnosed with acute hep c six months ago.   Do not have health insurance.  I have researched getting individual insurance but I can't afford it.  I waited to enroll in obamacare and I can't afford that either.  Where can I go from here?

Support resources on "HepC.com" gives links to all kinds of financial support to cure your hepatitis C.   Go to "HepC.com" and click on "support resources"
It's the last entry in the mustered colored box on the left.   Contact these agencies and get the help you need.   You can treat your hep c.   There is help and lots of willing people to help you get there.

Best to you

Here is a link for free and low cost clinics throughout the United States. http://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/Search_HCC.aspx

The drug manufacturers are offering assistance, like Gilead has a site where they can help so try the supportpath.com and  they could guide you.
There are others on here who started with that, there is other financial help.  I will try to fine the other links.

Put in HCV trials and your state. If you find a location having trials contact the Hospitals that are involved. If you get into a trial ALL costs are covered. It will cost you nothing for doctor, labs, tests, and Medicine. Plus you get the best of care.

Best to you and welcome here.

Hi

I did find this about Texas health insurance

http://www.healthinsurance.org/texas-state-health-insurance-exchange/

And 84 percent of Texas residents who have enrolled through the exchange have qualified for tax credits.  The $72/month after-subsidy premium in Texas is the seventh lowest out of the 36 states where HHS is running the exchange – the average across all 36 states is $82/month.

To be treated for hep c you need to see a doctor for at least some minimal testing which I am sure the cost of the doctor visit alone is many times more than 72 dollars.

Not sure what to tell you about how to get insurance when you have zero money. Have you checked with social services? Do you get any form of govt assistance? Hopefully they would have information for you about insurance.

Good luck
Lynn
