Cancer insurance is a supplemental product. It has nothing to do with your health insurance. As a matter of fact, you do not even need to have health insurance to buy this type of coverage.

While health insurance generally covers the medical costs of cancer treatment, there are a lot of hidden costs associated with this disease that cancer insurance will help you pay for.. For example:

Health insurance does not cover "experimental treatments". This could include highly effective treatments that have not completed FDA trials. Many people are alive today because of these so-called "experimental" treatments. Many of them become approved. However, it might be too late for you. Cancer insurance will help pay for these treatments. There are no FDA requirements.

Health insurance will cover in-network specialists. You might be well advised to visit a leading center for treatment that is not part of your health insurance plan.

If you have children, you will need to pay for childcare. This is certainly not covered by health insurance.

Often, treatments require travel for you and a companion to a special treatment center. This can be very expensive.

Finally, and in many instances most importantly, a cancer insurance plan will help you pay for your normal expenses of rent or mortgage, food, insurance, etc. If you are out of work due to your disease or treatments, disability insurance, if you are lucky enough to have it, will not pay you enough.

Cancer insurance is very affordable. It does not cost a great deal to give you the protection you need against this dread disease. One in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed at some point in their lifetime. If you have a family history of cancer, it is all the more reason to purchase cancer insurance.
