This is good news for people.

U.S. Patient Assistance Program

Gilead is committed to ensuring that people with hepatitis C can access Sovaldi and has launched Support Path™ (www.MySupportPath.com) to provide assistance to patients who are uninsured, underinsured or who need financial assistance to pay for the medicine. The program consists of an integrated offering of support services for patients and providers, including:
• Access to dedicated case managers to help patients and their providers with insurance-related needs, including identifying alternative coverage options such as federally-insured programs (e.g., Medicaid, Medicare) and health exchanges.
• Education and support, including a 24/7 nursing support service line and the ability to schedule an onsite visit from a clinical educator.
• The Sovaldi Co-pay Coupon Program, which provides co-pay assistance for eligible patients with private insurance who need assistance paying for out-of-pocket medication costs. Most patients will pay no more than $5 per co-pay. Co-pay assistance can also be applied toward deductibles and co-insurance obligations.
• Gilead will provide support to the Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation, an independent non-profit organization that provides assistance for eligible federally-insured and privately-insured patients who need help covering out-of-pocket medication costs.
• The Support Path Patient Assistance Program will provide Sovaldi at no charge for eligible patients with no other insurance options.

Information about how to apply for any of these forms of assistance can be found at www.MySupportPath.com or by calling 1-855-7MyPath (1-855-769-7284) between 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. EST.

It is 8/23/2014.  I just saw this info.  I'm a fairly new Medicare person with a newly purchased Part D from AARP.  Thanks so much for the info, and I'll let you know what happens when I inquire about the new HEP-C medicine.

I am going to pick up my 3rd month supply of Sovaldi & Ribasphere....The cost of the tx for 3 months is 45 bucks......I'll take it..

Thanks, Pooh.  But, I saw another link as well, on Medhelp and it was a different program that covered lots of different diseases and medications.  I think it was something like a Chronic Disease Network or something like that.  There was Interferon and Riba on the list of drugs that they covered and Hep C was one of the diseases that they covered.  But, I just can't seem to find the post on Medhelp that spoke of that link.  This was not the Gilead Support Path coupon program, but a different site/link.

Hi this may be a silly question but as I am in Australia and in need of sofosbuvir would gilead be willing to treat me at a lower price as this will not be in Australia for 2 to 3 years , asked my hepatologist 2 days ago .
$ 84 000 USD is out of my reach ,

Thanks Can-do.....

I think this part below will be a big help to those that are on Medicare with part D coverage as that in the past has been a problem for people getting help.

"• Gilead will provide support to the Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation, an independent non-profit organization that provides assistance for eligible federally-insured and privately-insured patients who need help covering out-of-pocket medication costs."
