|---|---|---|---|
| Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir — 12-week course | $71,400 | $756 | $70,644 |
| Specialist consults | $1,200 | $150 | $1,050 |
| Total | $72,600 | $906 | $71,694 |
A full 12-week hepatitis C course with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir carried a US list price many times higher than the same generic course sourced in India.
