Multiple myeloma treatments & Insurance in India

by mujtaba on Sat Jul 14, 2018 2:48 am

Dear all,

My father got diagnosed with multiple myeloma a few days back. At the time of writing this post, we have started a Borviz (bortezomib), Lenome (lenalidomide), and dexamethasone regimen.

Can somebody here let me know if the therapy will get covered under the medical insurance?

Although my insurance covers chemotherapy I am not too sure if the myeloma therapy falls under the chemotherapy category from the insurer's point of view.

Thank you very much in advance.

Warm regards,
Mujtaba
