These programs will first help you try to identify sources for reimbursement.   Schering makes Peg-Intron and ribavirin (Rebetol): Call 1-800-521-7157. Roche makes Pegasys and ribavirin (Copegus): 1-800-387-1258.   New Pegasys Patient Assistance Program   has generous provisions for patients who want to start HCV therapy with Pegasys and are uninsured. Since Roche & Genentech merged the Genentech Access Solutions P rogram took over this program starting Sept 1 2010 and as I say it is a generous transparent program.   http://www.pegasysaccesssolutions.com   866 422-2377
