The costs of cancer can be devastating- Cancer patients and survivors are more likely to resort to bankruptcy, and nearly half deplete their life savings while trying to recover. This is true even for those that have traditional or Medicare-based health coverage. Cancer insurance provides peace of mind in a difficult time, allowing more opportunities to seek the best possible comforts and care.

Critical Illness

Health concerns can be proactively considered, but it’s impossible to know what diseases may or may not lie ahead.  A critical illness policy normally pays out a lump-sum for diagnosis of specific illnesses such as heart attack, kidney failure, or organ transplants. (These policies may also cover both medical and non-medical costs.) While critical illness and cancer insurance are different things, some companies offer a combined critical illness/cancer policy.

Seniors often purchase products targeted to pay out in the event of  Cancer, Heart Attack, or Stroke events. It is important to understand how a plan would payout if the insured suffers from multiple ailments- some policies can be utilized multiple times as long as premiums are paid, others payout only once.
