Chemotherapy: The Financial Aspects

You may want to ask a social worker at your local hospital to help you look into payment through government programs such as Medicare.

Medicaid makes health care services available for people with financial need. Medicaid may help pay for certain treatments. Contact the office that handles social services in your city or county to find out if you are eligible for Medicaid and whether your chemotherapy is a covered expense. Medicaid approval can take a long time, so it is advisable to begin the process as early as possible. (NOTE: If necessary, you can likely give assets away and qualify for Medicaid to pay for chemotherapy right away. To learn more, see: Qualifying For Medicaid).

You can also contact your hospital's social service office which may be able to direct you to other sources of help.
