Did you know the RBHS’s hospital cover gives you access to chemotherapy treatment at home? It is a nice option to have for what is a pretty disruptive treatment.
Our trusted provider, View Health, provides a program called Chemo at Home. You can get the treatment you need (if it’s covered by Medicare) delivered in your home including:
- chemotherapy

What is chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy destroys cancer cells using drugs, often by intravenous drip (IV) into a vein.

Our registered providers give you the treatment you need (if it’s covered by Medicare), delivered to you in the comfort of your home. Treatment can start when the Chemo at Home provider has received and approved the referral from your oncologist.
