Hepatitis Treatments

There are many categories of drugs related to treating AIDS, HIV or Hepatitis. Sometimes, a state will have a separate Hepatitis vaccination or screening program that offers treatments as well. Other times, the best way to find out about Hepatitis treatments is to contact an agency or organization that deals mostly with AIDS, or the HIV/STD Department of your state.You might also consider experimental drugs.

Few AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP) cover every treatment, but you should always have your doctor or health care provider ask about what you need. Arrangements will sometimes be made, on a case by case basis. One of the first things that an ADAP will ask is if you have already applied for Medicaid, which almost always covers more things than any ADAP. An ADAP might help pay your insurance premiums or assist with co-pays. Your Medicare Part D plan (prescription drug coverage) may also cover more than ADAP, but you should always check what your Medicare Part D plan covers and if there are caps, restrictions or limits. Some states will help you with premiums for insurance or even co-pays with Medicare Part D.
