Everything to know about cancer protection plans

Everything to know about cancer protection plans
May 24, 2019
 

Cancer is on the rise globally and it does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone. There are 100 types of cancer and it is always better to be prepared in case the disease strikes.

Cancer cover has become the need of the hour and more and more insurance companies are coming out with insurance for cancer treatment.

Comprehensive medical insurance (usually floater policies which cover all your family members) provides insurance to take care of a wide range of medical problems. However, the insurance cover provided by such policies comes with sub-limits on the amount payable in different situations. Cancer cover solves this issue. The purpose of a cancer cover is to help pay for expensive treatments.

A cancer-specific policy covers a number of costs associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment, including hospitalization, radiation, chemotherapy and surgery.

Common forms of cancer covered by insurance plans include breast cancer, ovary cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, hypolarynx cancer and prostrate cancer.However, in most other types of cancer, money is payable at various stages of diagnosis, treatment and surgery, including minor, major and critical stage.

HDFC Life offers a comprehensive cancer care policy - HDFC Life Cancer Care that provides financial protection to you and your family against early or major stages of cancer.
