Beshear Signs Cancer Bill

KENTUCKY....
Governor Steve Beshear says that often health insurance companies deny coverage for routine care for patients involved in clinical trials for cancer, leaving patients having to pay for routine care out of their pockets. The American Cancer Society says those restrictions prevent many patients from taking part in clinical trials. Beshear signed a bill that prohibits health care plans from denying coverage of routine health care costs incurred as a part of clinical trials for cancer, assuming the same services would have been covered if not part of a cancer clinical trial.
