Brenda,
I hope this does not post twice as I replied once to this but it vanished.
They are trying to get parity brtween intravenous chemotherapy and oral chemotherapy. If it is chemotherapy it should be covered the very same way.
Federal legislation lying in congress without action is causing the states to try to bring attention to the problem. Sometimes it takes a bit of publicity and attention to get change.
According to my daughter Medicare has not been entirely consistant in the way they are treating this either.

Thanks,
Ev
