References

New antiviral medications for hepatitis C are effective, but the cost of a full course of treatment can reach $100,000. In “How to pay for costly hepatitis C drugs,” which is available at http://www.everydayhealth.com/news/how-pay-costly-hepatitis-c-drugs/, Madeline Vann, MPH, details strategies that patients can use to obtain these medications, including negotiating directly with an insurance company, checking if the manufacturer offers a patient assistance program, and contacting the Patient Access Network Foundation.
