Epclusa, a brand name medication containing sofosbuvir and velpatasvir, has revolutionized Hepatitis C treatment. This prescription drug boasts high efficacy rates, offering a cure for most chronic HCV genotypes. However, headlines regarding Epclusa's cost often raise eyebrows, particularly when comparing the price in the US and India.
Unveiling the US Price Tag

The list price of Epclusa in the US can be staggering. At a whopping $24,920 per month, a full 12-week treatment course can reach nearly $78,000.  Fortunately, this isn't the price most patients pay. Insurance plans typically cover Epclusa, bringing the out-of-pocket cost down considerably. Additionally, the manufacturer offers co-pay coupon programs that can further reduce the monthly cost to as low as $5.
