Cancer Treatment Not Covered By Employer Health Insurance…

Help Toni!

I have developed a rare form of cancer that requires the use of proton therapy and my problem is that my employer’s health insurance does not cover proton therapy.  I must pay all the costs.

My oncologist’s office manager advised me that because I am over 65, I may want to apply for Medicare Parts A and B.  She says that Medicare will pay and provide the care I need.

I am not leaving or retiring from my job, but I need to begin my Medicare benefits as quickly as possible. Please advise me what I need…
