Pegasus and Ribovarin Therapy

[steven5959]

I am just about to start my therapy, been to the classes, and thought I was prepared for what was to come, until the pharmacist called yesterday and told me the prescription would be $700.00 a month for the next year.  I made sure we were talking about the same medicine, and he said he had double checked what Blue Cross & Blue Shield (Group 105) was paying.  My doctor nor any of the nurses, or instructors had indicated this treatment would be costing anywhere near that, after insurance.  Does this sound like a mistake.

Im new here but ive been on treatment since the start of th year and was told about a month ago that my levels were undetectable which is great. I havent had that many side effects. I find the the first injection out of every pack gives me fever and then im fine for the rest of the month. I have just noticed though that my hair is starting to fall out big time :( Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Kat; this is an old thread. You should probably start a new one by scrolling to the top of the page, and clicking on the green “post a question” button. Your thoughts will probably get lost here. Welcome to the discussion group,
