Insurance Co.'s and Triple Therapy
Do insurance companies such as Anthem typically pay for the drugs to treat hep c when you have severe fibrosis? My doctors seem to be leaning toward me getting in a trial study. I get the feeling its because they know at stage 3-4 my cure rate is less which makes me think the insurance co. influences their decisions. Pat
I was cirrhotic when I treated and they ended up paying. At first they gave us the run around trying to deny I needed treatment (2008) then when they saw I wasn't going to take no for an answer they paid for everything.
You can always call them ("member services" see number on your card) and confirm that they will pay for the drugs based on your coverage. You can also find out what your co-pay payments will be.
Good luck treating.

seems like whatever treatment costs is less than a transplant so I would think they would pay.
