Because many cancer drugs can be extremely expensive, so making sure that your plan covers the specific drugs you take may save money.

    Things You Need to Consider

    o >Medications You Take: The first step is to make a list of all of the prescription medications you currently are taking, including pain medication and anti-nausea drugs. You will need this information to be able to compare the coverage offered by different insurance plans.

    o Drug Formularies: Most insurance plans have a formulary - a list of the drugs the plan covers. Check the formulary of each insurance plan you are considering to make sure that it includes the medications you are taking. You can find out your plan's formulary by checking their web site or calling the plan directly. Agents can also help you determine which health plan to choose.

    o Cost Sharing: You will want to carefully compare the cost sharing different plans charge you when you fill a prescription drug. Some plans charge co-pay, which is a flat rate the patient pays per prescription. Other plans charge a coinsurance, a percent of the total cost of the drug owed by the patient. For cancer drugs, coinsurance will almost always be more expensive than co-pay.
