My GI doc told me that the insurance co would probably only approve sof/riba for GT2b since that is what is still recommended here in the US. I told him that I did not want to take riba unless absolutely necessary and that I wanted to take sof/dac. He agreed we could do the sof/dac but I would have to show some significant liver damage for the insurance to approve. Well I didn’t show any liver damage and my liver labs were normal and VL was low. So of course my insurance denied me 2X in less than a month. I had already found this wonderful place and the rest is history. UND at 4wks and just finishing up my 5th week. So glad I did not have to do the riba
I posted an article about retreatment if someone fails DAA’s. It is with the GT3 threads, check it out, it is an interesting article and helps you to understand how some may fail. I think the thread is about Dac failure.
Good Luck
