Cancer Insurance
Cancer can be a difficult diagnosis to come to terms with, but it can also come with a lot of extra costs that health insurance may not cover. A cancer diagnosis is the last thing you or your family needs that can cause financial stress.
Cancer Insurance is a type of supplemental health insurance that will provide payment to be used to offset the costs of cancer treatments, or however the recipient sees fit. It can help alleviate some of the financial burden involved with treatment, allowing you or a loved one more energy to focus on recovery.
Cancer Insurance pays benefits directly to you, not your healthcare provider. The lump-sum payments can be used however you see fit.
Coverage varies and is based on guidelines insurance providers set. Some cancer insurance products may provide coverage for both medical and non-medical expenses, while others include only specific medical expenses. Depending upon the policy, the covered expense may include the following:
| Radiation/Chemotherapy | Surgery | Experimental treatments |
|---|---|---|
| Hospital stays | Transportation and Lodging | Prescription Medications |
| Lab tests | Child Care | X-rays |
| Co-pays | Household bills | Blood transfusions |
| Deductibles | Doctor Appointments | Preventive screenings |
Many policies restrict the types of cancer they cover. Also, some providers won't offer coverage if your cancer diagnosis came before applying for the policy or if you've had cancer in the past. Read your policy carefully to determine what is and isn't covered.
When faced with a cancer diagnosis, having the added support of cancer insurance can help make it easier to focus on your health and recovery. Ultimately, the decision to get cancer insurance comes down to your unique circumstance.
- You have a history of cancer in your family. If members of your family have had cancer, your risk of developing the disease may be elevated. When there's a family history, cancer insurance can provide added financial peace of mind.
- You have a high-deductible health plan (HDHP): If your health plan comes with steep out of-pocket costs due to a high deductible, cancer insurance can provide a payment to help cover those costs.
- Cancer diagnoses are common: According to The National Cancer Institute, one in two men and one in three women in the U>S> are at risk of developing cancer during their lifetime.
A cancer diagnosis can happen to anyone, no matter your age, health or family history and planning for the unexpected may better protect you for the future.
