Medicare does provide coverage for chemotherapy. However, a person may have to pay up to 20% of the costs of the treatment out-of-pocket, depending on the type of health insurance they have.
A 2017 study Trusted Source found that people with Medicare paid an average annual out-of-pocket amount of $5,976–$8,115 for chemotherapy. The average out-of-pocket cost for those with employer-based insurance was $5,492 a year.
Research from 2019 found that the average out-of-pocket costs of chemotherapy under Medicare Part D varied depending on the type of medication doctors prescribed. In some cases, the cost could exceed $8,000.
