[Guest guest]

I called the infergen one yesterday and I already have the papers to fill out and fax in , I am just waiting to see if my doc will send a letter that will get me covered . I should probably contact amgen.com to get the neupogen ready , haha . Some of these pharmaceutical companies are really great about financial assistance for the meds .

INFO: Patient Assistance Programs for HCV Medications

Many drug manufacturers offer patient assistance programs which can greatly decrease or entirely eliminate the costs of many medications. The requirements for program eligibility vary. Some programs may be applied for directly by the patient, other program applications must be intiated by the healthcare provider (physician, pharmacist or agency).
