hello thanks for the reply.
I have Blue Cross Blue Shield as well. I am going through the motions right now 2 try and find out how much treatment would be locally if it would be easier and more convenient to get my medication from a local pharmacy that is what I intend to do but I do not have my hopes up especially because I haven’t had the virus very long I am fully prepared to purchase my medication from dr. Freeman and I think him dearly for what he does he has gone Far and Beyond with helping people like us I have a uncle who passed away one year ago from liver failure and I just wish that I could have helped him by directing him to this website I also have a cousin who was just diagnosed with cirrhosis but he is currently in a penitentiary so I can’t help him for the time being but from those guys’s experience with the virus it has really opened my eyes and made me realize that I really do need to take care of this. I should find out soon enough if I’ll be able to afford the treatment locally and I believe all dr. Freeman needs from me at this point is my genotype which is still processing. Also another good reason to purchase from dr. Freeman is because I would get the full treatment and would not need to return to a pharmacy every month I plan on going to school out of state away from my local Town Pharmacy so that would be a problem. Sorry for the wall of text.

Treatment Start Date: SOONHey guys I have a question regarding deductibles and co-pays in regards of prescription medications. I looked at my bill for all the lab work that was done and it’s almost $600 and it seems like I’m almost paying out-of-pocket for all this. So to me it seems like my deductible has ran up and would this mean that I would have to pay the full cost for the hcv treatment once I am prescribed or will the insurance still cover some even though my deductible has ran out? I have no experience with this stuff this is pretty much the first time I have been to the doctors on my own so I’m still learning.
Edit: I called the customer service and asked why my bill was so much and they told me that they actually didn’t have any insurance provider on my account which is weird because I gave them the information the first time I seen the doctor but anyway i gave my insurance information and hopefully that will lower my bill a couple hundred bucks but im still wondering about the deductible and prescription medications.

Treatment Start Date: SOONAlrighty i just got a call to go in for more labs this morning (bummer) and they scheduled a ultrasound appointment and will call me back for a date. To be honest the whole ultrasound thing makes me nervous, probably because im scared to know the state that my liver is in..
Wish me luck guys.

Treatment Start Date: SOONomg well this makes me very happy! Iv had the virus for 6. going on 7 years so i thought my load would be alot higher. I still dont understand why im having all these symptoms associated with the virus if my loads are so low? mainly itchy skin.
Another thing too will my insurance not cover the cost of the treatment since my load are low?
Still waiting on that blasted phone call to come in with my appointment date to see the specialist.
Thank you everyone ♡

But on the flip side if i never had gotten any symptoms i sadly wouldnt have looked for treatment. I cant believe some people never experience symptoms after having the virus for years.
I just want to be healthy again
Iv been taking the milk thistle three times a day i hope its doing some.good besides giving me deadly gas lol.
