I've been denied treatment for hepatitis C. What are my options?

If denied treatment, don't give up! Unfortunately, you are not alone; thousands of individuals are denied their medication, especially after the first try. Follow up with your doctor's office to have an appeal submitted, make sure all of your relevant medical records are sent to the insurance company. If you need assistance with this process consider calling the Patient Advocate Foundation's Hepatitis C Careline at 1-800-532-5274 for benefit assistance; this team has experience in the appeal process and navigating insurance benefits.
