I periodically get questions about financial assistance for hep C treatment from people who don't have health insurance. Here's phone numbers and links to companies' patient assistance programs that provide free medications to people in this situation who meet their financial eligibility requirements:
Schering-Plough (PEG-Intron, Rebetron): Commitment to Care (website); phone: 1-800-521-7157
Roche (Pegasys, Copegus): Pegassist (website); phone: 1-877-734-2797
Valeant (Infergen): Infergen Aspire* (website); phone: 1-888-668-3393
Three Rivers (Ribasphere [generic ribavirin]): RibaCare (website); phone: 1-866-650-7422
* The Infergen Aspire website was down when I checked; Valeant recently acquired Infergen from InterMune, so there may be a few snags in the transition -- but my understanding is that Valeant intends to maintain a patient assistance program for Infergen.
