BlueCross Federal paid for my Sovaldi and ribavirin prescriptions and my copays are $35 for Sovaldi and $15 for ribavirin for 28 days worth. So, about $50 a month. I am much relieved that my copays weren't as high as I'd feared they'd be.

(it is usually updated almost daily even (accuracy is not guaranteed) sometimes before the insurance company adds it to the formulary on their site.

If you have insurance your best bet is to contact them or through your doctor. If it is covered your doctor will have to proscribe it first and submit for pre approval.in most situations.  If you are looking to purchase insurance or get assigned to one then you will have to contact each one for more info.

The drug company may be able to help you even to find insurance call the number listed. They also have procedures to get discounts or even for free if you quailify.,
