Prostate Cancer Insurance Issues

Will insurance cover my prostate cancer treatment?

Generally, traditional prostate cancer treatment including surgery, radiation and hormones are covered by commercial insurance and Medicare. Alternative treatments such as high-energy-focused ultrasound, heat therapy or dietary supplements are not covered by insurance.

What do I do if I am denied coverage for prostate cancer treatment?

If someone is not going to be covered by insurance, there are alternative centers that can be utilized for this treatment. This would include public or government facilities, veterans' administration hospitals, and sometimes private hospitals have free or charity clinics where treatment can be obtained.
