Also check out Patient Access Network (link below). They cover up to $7000 of your copay for HCV drugs if you have insurance. They covered my copay at 100%, and the application is really simple and fast.

Thank you Susiq, I am waiting to hear from my Dr office on what if any co-pay I need to pay, so this is good to know.

I got this post (below)  from another forum I am on and felt it Could really help with the new FDA approved meds.  SuziQ

 
 
 

"I was a non-believer.  My drugs were approved today by CIGNafter an appeal.  The CIgna specialty pharmacy called me and rather embarrassed  told me my copay was $3,500.  They gave me the phone numbers for the Sovaldi and RibaPak Copay Assistance Programs and said they weren't sure what to expect.

 

I called Sovaldi first and they set me up with coupon codes.  They only need your name, address, DOB, and phone number.  The coupon is intended to cover your copay and  is good for up to 20% of the retail price which in my case was $28,560.  so the coupon was good for up to $5,712.  My deductible and therefore copay was $3,500, so the coupon covered all but $5 which is the number Sovaldi advertises.

I called RibaPak next and they set me up just as quick and asked for my name, address, phone, DOB and Doctors name.  The RibaPak coupon is only good for a maximum of $65.  Beacuse I had met my deductible on the Sovaldi prescription,  my copay would have been $15.  The coupon brought it down to $7.

Please pay attention to your order if you have a high deductible plan.  I saved $952 by asking the pharmacy  to process the Sovaldi first.  The Sovaldi coupon is significantly better than the RibaPak, so it made a huge difference in my out of pocket costs.  I'm getting a 28 day supply of both drugs for $12.

Cigna specialty pharmacy just called back.  It seems they've run out of Sovaldi and cannot deliver it tomorrow as promised.  The new date is next Wednesday.
