Medicare may cover some cancer drugs taken by mouth IF the same drug is available in an injectable form or is a prodrug. Xeloda is included this list. However, you will typically see these drugs covered under a stand-alone Part D prescription drug plan - you would need to check your plan's formulary to see if this specific drug is covered and at what tier it would fall under.
You may want to check with Medicare directly to verify if your specific scenario would fall under the Part B coverage guidelines or if you would need to refer to your prescription drug coverage (i.e. Part D plan or MAPD plan).
