Hi Jestar,
Not sure exactly what you're saying
Does medicare or pharmacy not know who covers Harvoni/Epiclusa
I have same genotype as you
Do wish I could help but i'm not on any medi plan
Hope things work out well for you.

I finally got accepted by Gilead again , the company that makes Epclusa , to there Patient Assistance Program and i am on my second month of Epclusa. I hope this time it works well for me. Thanks for your reply take care.
I went to the American Liver Association website and found some useful information for assistance.
With your genotype the doctor should recommend Harvoni. If you're having difficulty getting it contact Melissa at hcvmeds@gmail.com. This nonprofit will subsidize your treatment.
