Try watching TV, listening to the radio, reading, going to the movies, or working with you hands by doing needlework or puzzles, building models, or painting. You may be surprised how comfortably the time passes. The cost of chemotherapy varies with the kinds and dose of drugs used, how long and how often they are given, and whether you get them at home, in a clinic or office, or in the hospital. Sometimes, however, an insurer may not pay for the use of certain drugs for certain kinds of cancers- at least not at first. If your insurer denies payment for your treatment, don't give up.
Most people do get payment eventually.
Teamwork with your doctor and the office staff is important. Be sure to let them know if you have been denied payment. They can consult with your insurer and help answer any questions your insurer may have. They also can consult with the company that makes the drug or drugs you are taking. Often, these companies can provide information or other services that will help you get payment.
