Cancer insurance provides benefits only if you
get cancer. No policy will cover you for cancer
diagnosed before you applied for the policy.
Cancer treatment accounts for about 10% of U.S.
health costs. This is why it is important
to have cancer insurance coverage. Cancer
insurance policies act to supplement existing
health plans and can offer these following
benefits. However, individual policies may
differ greatly and benefits are only paid in the
event you contract cancer.
If you are considering cancer insurance, ask
yourself three questions: Is my current coverage
adequate for these costs? How much will the
treatment cost if I do get cancer? How likely am
I to contract the disease?
