Medical assistance services; coverage. Requires Medicaid coverage for high-dose chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants for persons over 21 who have been diagnosed with myeloma or leukemia. These persons must be determined to have a performance status sufficient to proceed with such procedures. Current law already requires coverage of these procedures for those persons over 21 with lymphoma or breast cancer. The bill will not become effective unless an appropriation effectuating its purposes are included in the 2000 appropriation act, passed during the 2000 Session of the General Assembly, and signed into law by the Governor.
