Wow, that is something else. I really don't know what to say. It was my belief that treatment was only indicated if your liver enzymes were high and a liver biopsy indicated treatment. But, maybe the kickbacks are continuing and that would be a doctor's incentive to treat. Sorry you',ve been through so much. Check out The Sunshine Act.

@sueleerock Hi Sue! I may have had slightly elevated liver enzymes prior to the Harvoni treatment, but I definitely did not have a liver biopsy or any liver damage at the time. Today while at work I spent some time researching my medical records prior to taking Harvoni. I was able to find some records going as far back as 2006, but I haven't yet had time to really review everything. I had to gather the records from multiple sources which was time consuming and I also had to get my work done lol. I've saved it all though, so I will dig through it hopefully this weekend. I looked into the Sunshine Act and went onto The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' website to search for my Harvoni-prescribing doctor. I'm not quite sure what to be looking for on that website, but his name did come up in the search. I wish you all the best with the case you are building for yourself to present to an attorney! God Bless!
