Hey zhuk,
My insurance company is denying the dac + sof treatment, they are indicating that they may approve sof+interferon+riba, (most likely they will make me go again through 3 appeals). I'm genotype 3, they are following the AASLD guidelines - the triple regime is one of the two recommend regimes for my genotype. However, my previous treatment with interferon+riba was really hard and my doctor is refusing to make me go through it again. Further, she said that she hasn't treated a patient with inter+riba in more than 2 years and she doesn't see the point of doing it. According to her student and union insurances, as well as Medicare are almost impossible to get approval for treatment (I'm on a student insurance). Anyways, we are at the final stage of the appeal process, lets see what will happen. I really want to win it, mainly because Aetna has been assholes and I don't mind setting them back with a couple grants. Earlier this year they denied sof+riba for 6 months (not sick enough, so no medical necessity), back then we didn't bother appealing, since we knew that daclatasvir will be approve during the summer so we decided to wait. Anyways, i have the meds from mesochem will start them in two weeks, once i hear from the Department of Health about the appeal.
