We have been receiving several inquiries on how to get financial assistance for HCV treatment both in the U.S. and abroad. We are not able to provide any money  from the Greenview Hepatitis C Fund for this purpose, but are interested in steering people to available resources.

Most major pharmaceutical companies offer “Patient Assistance Programs” to provide free or low cost medications to those unable to pay. Here are some I found:

Merck/Schering-Plough
