About This Medication

# Gilead Support Path Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Harvoni (ledipasvir sofosbuvir) at Low or No Cost Harvoni (ledipasvir sofosbuvir) is a prescription medication used to treat chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults and certain children. The **Gilead Support Path Patient Assistance Program** offers **Harvoni at no cost** to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients who meet income guidelines based on Federal Poverty Level (FPL).[1][6] ## About Harvoni and Why Assistance Matters **Harvoni** combines two antiviral drugs—ledipasvir and sofosbuvir—to target and eliminate the hepatitis C virus from the body. It's typically taken as one daily pill for 8, 12, or 24 weeks, depending on your genotype and treatment history. Without insurance, Harvoni can cost over $90,000 for a full course, making patient assistance programs like Gilead Support Path essential for access.[9] Hepatitis C is a liver infection spread through blood that can lead to serious complications like cirrhosis or liver cancer if untreated. Early treatment with Harvoni offers cure rates above 95% for many patients. This guide explains how to apply for free or low-cost Harvoni through the program.[1][9] ## Who Qualifies?
