Advancements in healthcare are allowing more and more cancer patients to live normal, productive lives. As the cancer survival rate increases so does the cost of treatment, some of which may not be covered under traditional health insurance.

Insurance companies have developed insurance policies, sometimes referred to as “dreaded disease insurance” or specifically, “Cancer Expense Insurance” to help reimburse certain healthcare expenses related to the treatment of cancer.

Benefits Which May Be Included In A Cancer Expense Insurance Policy

• Benefit for initial cancer diagnosis
• Hospital confinement
• Doctor visits & nursing services
• Surgery benefits
• Anesthesia benefits
• Benefits for home healthcare, skilled nursing care, or hospice care
• Chemotherapy and/or radiation treatment
• Certain cancer screenings
• Cancer related travel expenses
• Disability income

Benefits of a Cancer Expense Policy are normally paid directly to the insured cancer patient and may be paid in addition to benefits covered under a health insurance policy.
