ACT cancer patients have been slugged with an unfair fee. Until now.
3 July 2018 - The ACT Government has promised to scrap the chemotherapy co-payment ACT cancer patients are "unfairly" slugged when receiving public treatment.
The government is set to announce it will start paying the co-payment on behalf of patients by as early as the end of the month, estimating it will be covering about $1 million in payments a year.
Canberra Hospital chemotherapy patients can currently face out-of-pocket costs up to about $1500 a year.
