Cancer Insurance
When you’re bearing the physical and emotional toll of a cancer diagnosis, the last thing you need to think about is the cost of cancer treatment.
What does cancer insurance cover?
Cancer insurance provides coverage for radiation/chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgical benefits, and hospital confinement, among others. Additionally, you may have access to cancer screening benefits and payment for the initial diagnosis of internal cancer,1 which can be used to help cover everyday expenses while you focus on your health.
Why should I consider cancer insurance?
The unexpected out-of-pocket expenses of cancer recovery can add up fast. What’s more, medical and non-medical expenses can keep people from completing their cancer treatment. The cash benefits of cancer insurance can help you pay for all of these costs. Further, group cancer insurance is often payable in conjunction with other supplemental health benefits, such as critical illness insurance.
Here’s an example of how it works
Mary had a cancer screening test and was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Her group cancer insurance plan provided cash payments based on her diagnosis, treatment, medication, and follow-up screenings. The benefit helped ease her financial worries and focus on her journey back to wellness.
