Gilead to Restrict Hepatitis C Patient Assistance Program
« on: July 24, 2015, 01:43:31 pm »
The drug maker claims it is taking this step to push back against tight-fisted payers, arguing that even though it has given insurance companies and state Medicaid programs substantial discounts on the drugs over the past few months, many are continuing to restrict patient access to the treatments.

Gilead seeks to pressure payers to expand their hep C treatment coverage criteria to everyone. However, advocates are arguing that the move is putting sick patients in the middle of the battle between big pharma and insurance payers.
