What is cancer insurance?
Cancer insurance is quite simple - an insurance policy specifically designed to cover any costs related to cancer. It is a supplemental insurance, and benefits are paid directly to you regardless of any other insurance you may have. You can use these benefits to help pay for any costs related to your treatment.
Do I need cancer insurance?
After accidents, cancer is the leading cause of death in children; and cancer risk increases with age, 77% of all cancers occuring in people of 55 or older. Even if you already have health insurance, you will probably have to pay for deductibles, co-pays, and annual or lifetime caps. Cancer treatment presents a significant financial burden for almost all patients.
