Does my health insurance pay for chemotherapy?

Talk with your health insurance plan about what costs it will pay for. Questions to ask include:

• What will my insurance pay for?
• Do I or does the doctor's office need to call my insurance company before each treatment for it to be paid for?
• What do I have to pay for?
• Can I see any doctor I want or do I need to choose from a list of preferred providers?
• Do I need a written referral to see a specialist?
• Is there a co-pay (money I have to pay) each time I have an appointment?
• Is there a deductible (certain amount I need to pay) before my insurance pays?
• Where should I get my prescription drugs?
• Does my insurance pay for all my tests and treatments, whether I am an inpatient or outpatient?
