   well the plan set forth is she put in for 8wk course of Harvoni...... she says more then likely they will deny :) of course they will but she says if they deny you 2 times then you can go to Gillead on that support path thing and go that route...... she explained it very methodicly as to state that this how it works... and i was like yup sounds logical to me.....as to how the insurance company operates.... denial... then you apply 1 more time .. then you just go to the horses mouth gillead.... she also said there is no more interferon TX and i was like well thats awesome...

i wouldnt mind ribavarin but i here interferon is the devils seed... she projects this being dragged out till January or Febuary i said thats fine i expected that to sum degree....

she said she wants me off nicotine im on 10mg for my ecig... she said if i get you these 80,000 dollar pills thats the deal no nicotine :) i said sure as soon as we get it its a deal.......

 so that is bright news for possible Harvoni.... theres other stuff coming out too as we all know..... she also said everyone insdurances are changinging at the beggining of the year so the delay will be good anyway.....

 the worst case scenario is id have to wait till F3-F4 way down the road ... but i bet i know how to get there sooner :)

anyway before any chickens are hatched i say 8 week isnt 12 but even 8 has like 93 percentile SVR rates and i dont weight alot so the pills are stronger on a lighter person or so i hear ... 

so all in all i say good news .... i did a VL blood draw today so as soon as iget those results back iLL post them ... the 1 in my sig is 6 months old..... but she straight up told me your VL count really means nothing untill you start treatment... .....  she will proabably do the appeals ... but on the second 1 i would like to say sumthing to my insurer :) haha 

 anyway that is the breakdown ... I wish everyone luck in thier pursuit..... and look into that denied 2wice by insurance then you can go to Gillead direct thing i did not know that till she told me ......   PEACE OUT
