What is the name of your state? Kentucky
I am in week 40 of a 48 week hep c treatment plan. My employer changed insurance companies at the end of week 39. my co-pay prior to the change over was $40.00 a month. After the change the co-pay asked by the new insurance company will exceed $800.00 a month. We were told by our employer the change over would be seamless and the coverage would be the same if not a little better. This was not the fact.
The outcome of my treatment hinges on a complete 48 week regimen of pegasys interferion and ribavirin. I can no longer afford the co-pay asked of me. Neither my employer of the insurance company cares to address this issue. My employers human resource director even denies stating the new co-pay would be the same or better.
What recourse do i have? I've applied for help from the drug manufacturer but this will take time and surely interrupt my treatment.
This whole thing has really worried me.
Thanks for any replies.
