I found this on Lucinda Porter's blog: http://blogs.hepmag.com/lucindakporter/2014/12/abbvies_viekira_pak.html.
What does Viekira Pak cost? The wholesale acquisition cost of twelve weeks of Viekira Pak is $83,320, plus the cost of ribavirin (around $2500 for 12 weeks). Patients needing 24 weeks of treatment, with a price tag of $167,640 plus the cost of ribavirin (around $5000 for 12 weeks).

I was right, there is an article in Fierce Pharma about Medicare choking on the amount of Hep C applicants. Looks as if a limit is going to follow. $$$$$. Does anyone know what the treatment cost is for a 12 week course on Vikera-pac ? They talk a lot about Harvoni's cost, but what is the actual price for Abb-vie? I cant seem to find it. If anyone knows people who need treatment I suggest you encourage them to hop on the train. It may stop a rollin'. Follow the money ! God Bless all who have received the new treatments.
