Guest guest Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 , Just in case -Patient Assistance Programs for HCV Therapy from the Drug Manufacturers: Pegylated Interferon and RibavirinIf you cannot get reimbursement or coverage for pegylated interferon and ribavirin the manufacturers of pegylated interferon have reimbursement programs which supply free drugs if you qualify. These programs will first help you try to identify sources for reimbursement. Schering makes Peg-Intron and ribavirin (Rebetol): Call 1-.Roche makes Pegasys and ribavirin (Copegus): 1-. I'm glad she's doing so well so far - fingers crossed.SuZieWhen I play with my cat, how do I know that he is not passing time with me rather than I with him? - - Montaigne Well they prepared us for the worst yesterday with the first injection. And so far she's doing awesome. no fevers, no complaints, playing with her brother, getting in trouble. We started Ribavarin last night too, And we haven't noticed anything different. Boy it would be great if we could get through this this well. I am having insurance problems though. My insurer only allows us to fill at their pharmacy but their wholsaler isn't carring peg-intron. So now we have just 2 doses and I am going through the appeals process. We may be on our own paying for this which I think is crap since I work in healthcare and involved in their PPO and have paid for this insurance for 10 plus years. Keeping my fingers crossed cause I can't even imagine what those shots cost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
