Cancer Insurance Coverage
Overview
Medicare and Medicare Supplement Plans cover medical related expenses. The 1.5 million people diagnosed each year with cancer quickly discover that many expenses they incure are Non-Medical, such as:
- Loss of income
- Family member loss of income
- On-going fixed costs like rent or mortgage
- Groceries
- Utility bills
- Travel and hotel
- Child care
- Cosmetic Surgery
- Non-Covered Experimental Treatments
According to the American Cancer Society traditional medical and Medicare coverage is good, but it will only cover approximately 34% of the costs associated with cancer. The purpose of a Cancer Policy is to cover all of these Non-Medical expenses.
Fact and Figures
According to the American Cancer Society, anyone can get Cancer. Since incidence rises with age, most cases affect adults in mid-life or older.
