Wife asking if husband (67, Medicare B for 18 months) can change plans.

Had Hep C since his 20's. Four years ago took Sovaldi for 12 weeks. Tested negative for C for the last 3 years.

Some underwriting guides (BFL in particular) list Sovaldi on their DQ list "if taking". He stopped taking it almost 4 years ago so the answer is no but it will show up on his Rx history.

Any idea how carriers view this situation?

I can and will ask BFL but wanted to see if any of you have run into this before and which carriers consider Sovaldi a cure or do they consider you have a damaged liver and will run into problems sometime so easier to just decline and move on.
