Based on the provider and policy details, coverage varies, but most plans cover both medical and non-medical expenses. Medical expenses can include co-pays, extended hospital stays, medical tests, procedures (such as stem cell transplants), other disease specific treatments, and more. Non-medical expenses can include dietary restriction aids, home health care, child care expenses, and loss of income benefits.

It is important that you understand what is covered in the policy before purchasing a cancer insurance plan. Also, comparing your current health insurance plan will allow you to determine if you need to purchase a cancer insurance policy to fill the gaps.

What is Cancer Insurance?

Cancer insurance is a special type of insurance that provides limited coverage if you’re ever diagnosed with cancer. Generally, a cancer-specific policy covers a number of costs associated with your diagnosis and treatment, including hospitalization, radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, anesthesia, nursing care, blood transfusions, prescription drugs and medications. (Keep in mind that you won’t be able to get cancer insurance if you’ve already been diagnosed).
