Cancer affects many people in the U.S.
Perhaps you hear words like “cancer” and automatically assume diseases like these happen only to someone older or someone else. The truth is, cancer can affect anyone at any time. A cancer diagnosis can be a heavy physical and financial burden.
- Men have nearly a 1-in-2 lifetime risk of getting cancer.1
- Women have more than a 1-in-3 lifetime risk.2
- More than 1.6 million Americans are expected to be diagnosed with cancer this year.3
The good news is that thanks to early detection and advanced treatments, more people are surviving cancer…
But fighting cancer can be very costly.
There are two basic costs associated with cancer.
Medical Expenses
These costs typically are partially or fully covered by your standard medical insurance. Examples include doctor bills and hospital charges.
Nonmedical Expenses
The unavoidable expenses caused by cancer may have to be paid out of your own pocket.
Nearly 60% of the total cost of cancer is nonmedical and may not be covered by major medical insurance.4
Medical Costs are only one piece of the puzzle
If you are ever diagnosed with cancer, supplemental health insurance benefits can help while you recover. Benefit payments can be used as needed to help pay expenses like these:
Special Expenses
Transportation
Hotels
Special Diets
Family CareInsurance Shortfalls
Deductibles
Copayments
Benefit Limitations
Living Expenses
House Payments
Car Payments
Utilities

If you or your spouse is unable to work or must provide care for a family member.
Protect you and your family from the potential financial loss of treating cancer.
