Maybe this is my answer (from the University of Google): "Medicare Part B primarily covers outpatient care and services provided by physicians. When it comes to medications, Part B typically covers drugs that are administered by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting. Lupron often falls into this category because it’s usually given as an injection in a doctor’s office."

Call your oncologist’s nurse or their social worker and have them verify that to be correct. Lupron can also be self-injected and therefore would be covered under Part D. https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/patient-education/intramuscular-injection-of-lupron#:~:text=An%20intramuscular%20injection%20is%20an,to%20do%20it%20at%20home.
