Facts to Consider for Cancer Insurance Policy Cancer Care
March 18, 2019

In recent times, cancer has emerged as a very deadly disease which has caused innumerable casualties across the world. In fact, it is one of the most feared diseases to have ever emerged ion the evolutionary stage of mankind. Most expert consider it to be a lifestyle disease one that has been compounded by factors such as lack of healthy life style choices, alcohol or tobacco abuse, substance abuse, unhealthy food choices, pollution, ill-defined options of personal life etc. People who have started to figure out that these things are causing us harm, have taken appropriate measures to abstain from non organic produce and have taken measures to use protective masks while outside as well as keeping air purifiers inside their homes, but again only taking these few measures will not solve anything, we in our lives are seeing examples of people who led the best and healthiest of lives becoming affected by cancer. The treatment involved is extensive, elaborate and involves a lot of factors that put a direct impact on your finances as well.

Taking out a general healthcare policy is never enough, as it means getting a general coverage with little or no scope of coverage towards specific diseases, including cancer. The matter of fact is that there are certain random benefits that can be availed of under the purview of a cancer-specific policy rather than a general healthcare insurance plan.

While choosing a cancer insurance policy, following are certain facts that must be considered:

  1. Ensure complete coverage:

    The treatment required is quite extensive and elaborate. This, no doubt, means that the kind of coverage that you must seek has to be extensive and complete. Therefore, while choosing any plan, remember that the sum assured must match the due requirements.

  2. Go cashless:

    As India is still a growing economy, it does not have a lot highly regarded hospitals, the best surgeons are usually found in premier hospitals and no wonder that there is usually a long time to wait before you get the chance to be admitted. In any case, a traditional health care policy as well as a cancer-specific policy gives you the option of going cashless, which, in actuality means that the insurer treats certain hospitals as “network-hospitals” with a defined liaison on the accepted terms and conditions of coverage. This goes beyond the regularly defined parameters of insurance.

  3. Ensure that sufficient riders are added:

    The policy that you undertake must have a set term for riders and additional privileges in the shape of beneficial extra-coverage pointer5s, known as riders. These riders ensure that extra-coverage is provided without any extra burden on your pocket.

HDFC Life offers HDFC Life Cancer Care- a cancer-specific plan that offers extensive benefits and cancer-specific treatment and additional coverage costs in case of any such related emergency.
