An FYI that might be important to some:
Aetna, the third-biggest U.S. health plan, said Provenge is “medically necessary” for prostate cancer that has spread but not reached the liver in patients expected to live six months or more.
Previously, Aetna’s insurance didn’t cover the drug for patients whose cancer had expanded to the brain or lungs, Susan Millerick, a spokeswoman for Hartford, Connecticut-based Aetna, said in an e-mail.
