Maryland Passes Oral Chemotherapy Parity Bill
Chemotherapy Bill Signing Release

MDCSCO Comments:
Dr. Paul Celano, MD: "This legislation will make a huge difference to thousands of Marylanders who are treated for cancer each year. The improved access to oral chemotherapy is yet another example of how much our legislators in Annapolis and Governor O'Malley can accomplish in their effort to attack disparities in health care."
