    I had to get my internal medicine DR at UCSF to order it and paid labcorp (Roseberg) something $600 or more. Very pricey.

    Hey fretboard,
    I just saw him July 29th and I have 3 messages waiting for him(he was out of office last week+. He should order genotype test next week. I expect to know more by end of week. Not sure of UC board of Regents but he will help me if he can.Looks like generic script is next
    question. He has been monitoring me since about 1990. I was getting pretty complacent but now he has lit a fire for treating this. Been very
    healthy until my viral went medium last test. Thanks for info, I expect to know something soon. Regards, Will.

    Hey Matt, Another Texan, state #7 for me is OR. My doc lit a fire under me on July 29th.with viral load increase. Must have been a little
    naive to think I might hold out 8 more years to medicare. Got my unused RV sold=generic drugs$ and travel ticket. I have to see
    if he can write script (maybe for Non-generic with generic substitute?). I’ll get geno and b back. It’s all new, been really healthy a
    long time.He thought it might be gone until viral test.Regards, Will

    Hey Matt,
    I like the webfoot. I am waiting for My Dr. at UCSF to get back next week-already sent him 3 messages. I think once I am geno typed I can
    make treatment plans. I have insurance($303) that covers hospital only. I will be going generic for sure. If I can’t get US script I am traveling
    to get generic. I had been symptom and viral low until now. Naively thought I might make it to medicare. I have been with my intrnal med. Dr
    27 years. He will support my decision and do anything he can legally. It will be cheaper to just pay out of pocket for generic then get big
    insurance increase. This is all new. I am hammering out a victorian 5/2 with 2 cottages. I have another foreclosure to move to. I feel really fortunate to have access and support. I will be in touch about script. Just been in OR 15 months. Always kept my Dr for this. He is back
    MON.-8 hrs away, have lab 15 miles from here. Thanks, Will

    Hi, Thanks. I have hospitalization only Anthem and fall above Obamacare income wise. It won’t pay for Dr. visit or lab work at all. I pay out of pocket but have enough funds to pay for generics, airtravel or if I can get my Dr. to write a generic script. I seem to make just enough to not qualify. I am selling an rv i don’t use and that will cover generic cost and a round trip to Aus. or India minus stay. My Dr. is gone til next week
    and I am also due for a vacation(9 years). I will combine the 2 or figure something out. I still need to be genotyped. Cant afford 95k in US so
    I’ll go else where. I will make it work someway.Regards, Will

    Hey. Just waiting for lab order to get genotyped. Then looks like I need US Dr. to write script. Just had scan, will get onboard asap after test. Really new top most of the lab lingo, just went medium on viral load after 27+ years of no activity. My good Dr lit a fire under me July 29th.
    Got a lot to take in. Regards, Will
