• Injection: given into muscle or under the skin

Chemotherapy is typically covered under comprehensive health insurance plans as part of cancer treatment, whether given as day-care or inpatient care, subject to your policy's terms, sub-limits, and waiting periods. Many hospitals, including Oncare, offer cashless treatment for patients whose insurer is part of the hospital's network, so you can avoid paying upfront. Coverage details vary by insurer and plan, so it's best to confirm your specific coverage with your insurance provider or with Oncare's patient support team before starting treatment.
