Is the VA providing Sovaldi/Olysio/Ribavirin?
Bio- joined the Marines after high school in 1967, arrived in Viet Nam for Tet offensive in 1968, was wounded in Hue during street fighting by 17 pieces of a chicom grenade. I received numerous blood transfusions and survived, eventually rated 100% disabled by VA. In 2005 I was DX with hep c, g1, with cirrhosis. 2007 treated 72 weeks with Interferon and Ribavirin and relapsed. After getting the run around and the secret list treatment I finally had enough and raised h.ll with the patient advocate and was sent to an outside provider who prescribed Sovaldi, Olysio, and Ribavirin. Question----Has anyone received these drugs from the VA? The speciality pharmacy has never dealt with the VA and seems clueless. Thanks
