Something to tell your health insurer: New treatments may have a bigger price tag at the start, but considering they cure at much higher rates than older meds like interferon and ribavirin (therefore requiring far less re-treatment) they’ll save lots of money in the long run.

This cost-per-cure could also be considerably lower if your insurer was to secure discounts, which has been happening a lot in the HCV field lately.
