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.

Jenny

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.

Not what you're looking for?
