It depends on your plan. If you’re on a HDHP, chances are that prescriptions are not covered until you hit your deductible.

Even if that's the case, unless your deductible is $40k, which I have never seen before, the insurance would still cover the majority of the cost. Plus if you have chronic Hep C, you're likely spending thousands a year as it is and will continue to do so indefinitely.

Out of pocket maximum is the relevant figure, and that's $8k for individuals and $16k for families:
