Not sure about the cost of just the interferon but the cost of treatment is around $40,000 dollars. This includes the interferon, ribavirin and one of the new drugs.
Best of luck

Welcom Corey to the forum .    My interferon which is Pegasus runs about $1700.00 a month .   I do have prescription insurance, which doesn't cover the entire cost of the drug.  However, saying that, there are organizations and grants available to you if you cannot met your copay.   And some of the drug companies will just take what your insurance will pay too !    Good Luck :)
