Diagnosed Hepc positive in Nov 2014. HCV count 225,800 as of March 2015. METAVIR F0-F1. GT2. I'm a 54 year old male. No idea of when or how I was infected.
Last week I received a phone call from a specialty pharmacy to inform me that my prescription for SOLV + Riba had been approved -- felt better than Christmas! Insurance covering 100%.
I had fully expected a rejection from the insurance company and then fight the appeal(s) battle. I had even resigned to myself that I would likely have to pay for a significant portion of the $90K cost or live with the dragon for the foreseeable future.
Started 12 week treatment on Saturday; I'm on day 4 today. No noticeable side effects.
Whooo whoooo!
