When treatment costs thousands of dollars and insurance companies create obstacles, accessing a cure feels impossible.

Hepatitis C medications cure most people but cost thousands of dollars. Your advocate fights insurance denials, navigates prior authorizations, and finds patient assistance programs. They ensure financial barriers don't prevent you from accessing life-saving treatment that can cure your hepatitis C.
Successful treatment requires careful monitoring of viral loads and liver function. Your advocate schedules necessary blood work, tracks treatment response, and ensures proper follow-up after cure. They coordinate between specialists to monitor your liver health long-term.
Hepatitis C often occurs with other conditions requiring coordinated care. Your advocate manages drug interactions with HIV medications, coordinates care for hepatitis B coinfection, and ensures all your conditions are treated safely together. They prevent one treatment from interfering with another.
With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Insurance companies often deny hepatitis C treatment until liver damage progresses, despite guidelines recommending immediate treatment. Solace advocates prepare compelling appeals documenting medical necessity, navigate restrictive insurance criteria and requirements, and find alternative funding through pharmaceutical programs. They fight sobriety requirements and other barriers, coordinate with specialty pharmacies, and ensure nothing prevents your cure. Your advocate battles insurance obstacles so you can access life-saving treatment.
If hepatitis C has already caused cirrhosis, you need specialized monitoring even after cure. Solace advocates coordinate hepatocellular cancer screening, monitor for varices and other complications, and ensure appropriate follow-up after treatment. They connect you with transplant centers if needed, manage complications like ascites or encephalopathy, and coordinate comprehensive liver care. Your advocate ensures proper management of lasting liver damage.
Hepatitis C carries unfair stigma that can affect medical care and mental health significantly. Solace advocates ensure you're treated with respect by all providers, address discrimination in healthcare settings, and connect you with judgment-free support. They help family understand transmission facts, coordinate mental health support during treatment, and celebrate your cure milestone. Your advocate provides compassionate support through a stigmatized diagnosis.
Achieving sustained virologic response (cure) requires completing treatment and proper follow-up testing. Solace advocates ensure medication adherence support, coordinate cure confirmation testing at 12 weeks, and maintain liver monitoring after cure. They help you understand reinfection prevention, coordinate care for lasting liver effects, and ensure you receive the full benefits of cure. Your advocate guides you from diagnosis through cure to lasting health.
