My cancer drug treatment is on a 3-weekly cycle. Is the cancer drug limit sufficient for months when I need to undergo 2 rounds of treatment?

Question

Accepted Answer

For cost-effective cancer drug treatments on 3-weekly cycles, the MediShield Life (MSHL) claim limits have typically been sized to cover the post-subsidy costs of two treatment courses in a month.

For other cancer drug treatments, the MSHL claim limit has been sized to cover up to the monthly cost of the cost-effective alternative.
