you could also check out the clinical trials in your area, as there is no cost to participants for drugs and i think travel too. if you live near a teaching hospital, your chances might be even better. here is the website: www.clinicaltrials.gov
good luck
I was told the cost for a 48 wk treatment of peginterferon/ribaviron (pegasys and copegus) was around $30,000. I am a self employed single wage earner with no medical insurance. I spoke with my Dr. and because of my income they helped me apply to Pegassist through Genentech. I get all my meds at no charge but I am responsible for the cost of all lab work through the 11 months and dr. office calls.
If you are considering not doing tx because of the cost trust me, the cost of NOT doing treatment is to high. Talk with your dr, nurse, local agencies about treatment.
Hope this helped.
