Although health insurance can help offset the costs of cancer treatment, you still may have to cover deductibles and copayments on your own.
Additionally, cancer treatment can cause out-of-pocket expenses that aren’t covered by traditional health insurance:
- Travel
- Food
- Lodging
- Childcare
- Household help
Meanwhile, living expenses such as car payments, mortgages or rent, and utility bills continue whether or not you are able to work.
If a family member has to stop working to take care of you, the loss of income may be doubled.
The Company helps provide an important safety net in fighting the financial consequences of cancer that result beyond traditional health insurance.
The Company pays benefits directly to you, unless assigned.
You use the cash however you decide.*
