A year of HCV therapy here in the U.S. can cost more than $USD 40.000 (PHP 1.737.600). The drugs and care may be less expensive in Cebu though.

FlGuy makes a good point; have you gotten a genotype yet? A genotype test would be the next logical step, and it requires sufficient virus present to process. If the test can’t be run, it’s very likely you don’t have active infection.

Also, right now I'm in a study and everything is free  wheeeee,
I have no insurance and certainly no money ( paycheck to paycheck)  so this study came just in time.  Of course you are part of research for study drugs, but so far so good.

My treatment with all meds and tests cost about $200,000.
But my insurance paid most of it my monthly SOC cost was $40, then the Procrit was about the same, ambien, etc etc etc.......

But if you dont have it then FLGuy is right it's pretty inexpensive!
