There are many categories of drugs related to living with Hepatitis or HIV disease. You might consider experimental drugs. Sometimes, a state will have a separate Hepatitis vaccination or screening program that offers treatments as well. Other times, the best way to find out about Hepatitis treatments is to contact an agency or organization that deals mostly with AIDS.
Few states have AIDS Drug Assisstance Programs (ADAP) that cover all the treatment types listed below, but you should always have your doctor or health care provider ask. Special arrangements are sometimes made. One of the first things that an ADAP will ask is if you have already applied for Medicaid, which almost always covers more things than ADAP. Your Medicare Part D plan may also cover more than ADAP, but you should always check. Some states will help you with premiums for insurance or even co-pays with Medicare Part D.
Patient Assistance Programs : Sometimes a state has a waiting list until certain programs become available. You may need to try a Patient Assistance Program, or try to get Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance first. Do not ever drop your private insurance without first seeing if your state will cover part or the whole premium, especially if you have children. The pharmaceutical industry has set up programs that offer medications for free, or sometimes at a very low price. You may have to apply directly to a specific company, or use a national service set up by a group of companies like pparx.org. Your doctor or another member of your health care team like a case manager will usually help you out to apply, and you may need to apply to more than one company for the treatments you need.National and State Access News - We keep track of the efforts of community groups, professional groups, educational resources, and federal and state proposals and laws that could affect how and whether care and treatment can be accessed. Let us know of any changes or proposed changes, and the things going on in your state so The Access Project can inform others and explain how they might affect you.
