Hepatitis C medication cost varies widely by country, insurance coverage, reimbursement systems, regimen selection, treatment duration, and access pathways. The list price is often different from out-of-pocket cost. In many settings, public programs or private insurance can reduce patient cost substantially. The practical approach is selecting the clinically appropriate regimen first, then confirming the real cost through pharmacy and insurance/reimbursement channels rather than relying on generic online pricing claims.
