About SOVUNA and its cost

What is this medication? Sovuna is a prescription medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus infection in both adults and children. It is a combination therapy that contains two active ingredients, sofosbuvir and velpatasvir, which belong to a class of drugs known as direct-acting antivirals. These components work by blocking the specific proteins that the virus requires to replicate its genetic material, effectively stopping the virus from spreading and allowing the body to clear the infection over time.

Because it is a pan-genotypic treatment, Sovuna is effective against all major strains or genotypes of the hepatitis C virus. The medication is usually taken as a single oral tablet once per day for a specific duration, typically twelve weeks, depending on the patient's medical history and the condition of their liver. It can be used in patients without cirrhosis or those with compensated cirrhosis, helping to prevent further liver damage and improve long-term health outcomes.

SOVUNA is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 SOVUNA?

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 SOVUNA?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But the manufacturer has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover SOVUNA?

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 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus?

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.
