About Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir and its cost
What is this medication? Ledipasvir and sofosbuvir is a combination prescription medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C, a viral infection that attacks the liver. It belongs to a class of drugs known as direct-acting antivirals, which work by targeting specific proteins the virus needs to replicate and survive. This medication is primarily used for patients with genotype 1, 4, 5, or 6 of the hepatitis C virus. By stopping the virus from making copies of itself, the drug helps the immune system clear the infection from the body, often leading to a complete cure after a full course of treatment.
This medication is generally taken once daily as a single tablet and is often prescribed for a duration of eight to twenty-four weeks. It can be used alone or sometimes in combination with other antiviral drugs, depending on the specific medical history of the patient and whether they have developed complications like liver scarring. Because it targets the virus directly, it is generally better tolerated than older hepatitis treatments that required injections. Successfully completing the treatment regimen can prevent serious long-term health issues such as liver failure, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir is made by Gilead. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.
Common questions
What's the cheapest way to afford Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir?
It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.
Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Gilead has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir?
Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.
How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?
Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.
What if I have a high-deductible plan?
For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.
Are there charity grants for Chronic Hepatitis C?
Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
